On November 12th, 2021, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer announced that the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal he negotiated in the Senate will deliver major victories to help ensure clean water in Rochester and eliminate toxic lead pipes. As of January 1, 2021, it is estimated Rochester, which has battled high child lead poisoning levels, has over 25,000 lead service pipes to be replaced at an estimated cost of nearly $186 million, which will require the City securing additional funds. Without additional funding, it is estimated it would take until at least 2050 to remove all the lead service lines in the City of Rochester. Now with the Bipartisan Infrastructure deal’s new cash infusion that Senator Schumer helped deliver, Rochester will have access to additional funds needed to help realize their ambitious plan to replace all 25,000 lead water pipes by 2030.
