The Accelerating a Lead-Free DC Amendment Act of 2025 seeks to eliminate lead service lines in the District of Columbia by January 1, 2030, through a comprehensive lead service line removal program managed by DC Water and the Department of Energy and Environment. Key provisions of the bill include the creation of an inventory of water service lines, tax credits of up to $5,000 for property owners who voluntarily replace lead service lines, and a structured schedule of copayments and penalties for noncompliance. The bill also emphasizes workforce development by establishing a job training program at the DC Infrastructure Academy, which will train residents in lead service line replacement while ensuring compliance with minimum wage and paid sick leave laws.

Additionally, the bill amends existing laws to enhance the lead service line removal program, including a new expiration date for certain provisions and an increase in the cap on registrations. It mandates joint reports from the Department of Energy and Environment and DC Water to track the program's implementation and remaining lead service lines. The introduction of the Lead-Free DC Green Job Creation program aims to connect youth workforce development with lead remediation efforts, requiring the development of a job training curriculum and setting goals for training District residents. Overall, the bill represents a significant step towards improving public health and safety by addressing lead contamination in the District's water supply.
