The Lead-Free DC Omnibus Amendment Act of 2025 mandates the complete replacement of all lead service lines in the District of Columbia by December 31, 2030, prohibiting partial replacements and the installation of new lead, brass, or galvanized steel service lines. Property owners with lead service lines must enroll in the Lead Service Line Replacement Program or replace the lines themselves by October 1, 2024. The bill establishes protocols for testing service lines, public education requirements, and prioritization for replacements, particularly for child development facilities and multi-unit residential properties. It also requires the Department of Energy and Environment to engage community-based organizations for oversight and sets penalties for non-compliance.

Additionally, the bill creates a nonlapsing Lead Service Line Priority Replacement Assistance Fund to support replacements and mandates DC Water to provide free water filters to affected properties. Starting December 1, 2024, DC Water must report annually on the status of lead service line replacements, while DC Health will report on the distribution of lead filters. The legislation repeals existing sections related to lead service line replacements effective October 1, 2024, streamlining the regulatory framework. Overall, the bill aims to comprehensively address lead exposure risks associated with water service lines in the District.
