What the grant funds
The Lead Pipe Inventory and Public Engagement (LPIPE) Demonstration Grant Program is EPA Region 1’s competitive grant program to fund work directly with overburdened and underserved communities in New England that still have high prevalence of lead pipes to support EPA’s mission to reduce environmental risks from lead in drinking water, protect and improve human health, and improve the quality of life by reducing exposure to lead in drinking water through identification of lead service lines and public engagement. The LPIPE Demonstration Grant Program will achieve this through identifying and funding projects that: Target resources to benefit pollution overburdened and underserved communities, including environmental justice areas of potential concern and sensitive populations (e.g., children, and those who have pre-existing medical conditions and are therefore at increased risk from lead poisoning. Reduce environmental and human health risks associated with lead in drinking water from lead service lines. Increase collaboration through partnerships and community-based projects that raise awareness of the presence of lead service lines and provide education and outreach to families to prevent exposure to lead in drinking water.
