Like Darrell Green speed, we’re moving just as fast to replace lead lines across DC. 💨💧

He believes in our Lead Free DC initiative, saying “Safe, reliable drinking water is essential, especially for children whose development can be harmed by lead exposure.”

This milestone isn’t just about the numbers. It’s about protecting families, children, & the future of our city. Huge thanks to our incredible crews, contractors, and partners who made this possible. Your hard work is what keeps DC moving toward a future with lead free water. 🙌
