The Biden-Harris Get the Lead Out Partnership launched in January with a summit of national leaders in the effort to identify and replace lead. BlueConduit is proud to participate in the partnership and attend the summit.

This partnership will highlight best practices and showcase success stories for other communities to replicate that work across the country.”
