| Dear Neighbor,
The Connecticut Department of Public Health just launched a great new campaign called Lead Free CT! The goal of the program is to protect children from the harmful health impacts of lead and create a lead-free Connecticut.
Key objectives of the program include:
- Making older homes where children or pregnant people live lead safe
- Collecting information on all known lead service water lines in Connecticut
- Replacing lead pipes that bring water to homes, childcare centers, and schools
- Supporting families who find lead in their home or water
- Offering funding to get Connecticut communities lead-free
- Having all Connecticut children tested for lead
- Raising awareness of lead testing and safety among parents
- Educating communities, contractors, and landlords on lead laws and safety
