U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Andrew Wheeler, along with Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, announced new, tighter standards for lead in dust on floors and window sills to protect children from the harmful effects of lead exposure.
“EPA is delivering on our commitment in the Administration’s Federal Lead Action Plan to take important steps to reduce childhood lead exposure,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler.
The rule will become effective 180 days after publication in the Federal Register.

The EPA’s Lead and Copper Rule says lead water lines, or galvanized water lines, need to be replaced by 2037. In the new year, a new law will require more transparency about lead service pipes when homes are sold in Iowa.
Starting January 1, 2026, Iowa House File 876 will add to the seller’s disclosure statement for real estate transactions the presence of lead service lines. That includes the lines that connect the city’s water main to the interior plumbing in a building, or to the water meter.
