Get The Lead Out (GLO) Initiative
All communities need access to safe, reliable drinking water. Yet an estimated 9.2 million pipes (also called
service lines) that provide drinking water to homes across the United States contain lead. To protect families,
children and communities from lead exposure, EPA has established the Get the Lead Out Initiative (GLO
Initiative). Through the GLO Initiative, EPA will partner with 200 underserved communities, helping them
identify lead services lines, develop replacement plans, and apply for funding to get the lead out. This new
resource from EPA helps achieve President Biden’s goal of 100% lead pipe removal and builds on EPA’s existing
water technical assistance (WaterTA) portfolio.
The Town of Fries has been selected to participate in the GLO initiative.
GLO will be doing a presentation on November 12, 2024 at the Town Council meeting. Meeting starts at 7 p.m. at The Historic Fries Theatre.
