Ohio State Representative Dontavius Jarrells’ Lead Line Replacement Act

Idea Category: Clean Water

Ohio State Representative Dontavius Jarrells is leading an effort to eliminate lead from Ohio’s drinking water through the Lead Line Replacement Act, which would require all publicly owned water systems to replace their lead service lines within 15 years. Jarrells, who suffered from lead poisoning as a child, calls access to clean water “a human right.” The effort has a $5 billion price tag, drawing from federal and state funds.
