PITTSBURGH — Vice President Kamala Harris arrived in Pittsburgh Friday morning to meet with members of the community and other leaders in Homewood to discuss the White House’s bipartisan infrastructure plan and how it could help replace lead water lines in the region.
In November, President Joe Biden signed a $1 trillion infrastructure plan that included $15 billion allocated for the replacement of lead service lines across the nation.
The Lead Pipe and Paint Action Plan, announced by the White House in December, was part of the infrastructure deal and will pull together federal agencies to work with state and local governments for the replacement and removal of lead infrastructure.
