Solis/Associated PressThe Biden administration wants to require utilities to replace all lead drinking-water pipes across the U.S. within the next 10 years, the biggest push in decades by the federal government to eliminate lead from the nation’s tap water. The Environmental Protection Agency made that proposal public Thursday, as part of a series of proposed regulatory changes involving lead in drinking water. More than nine million households receive water through lead service lines, the pipes that connect water mains to homes, the agency said.

Wade more than a year ago, voters have defeated ballot measures that would have restricted abortion rights in other red states such as Kansas and Kentucky.
