Copper Development Association Offers Free Lead Service Line Replacement Training

The Copper Development Association (CDA) is now offering its Do It Proper with Copper training program, a no-cost, expert-led educational initiative designed to help communities successfully plan and execute lead service line replacement projects. The training provides practical guidance on the proper installation of copper service lines, including techniques, materials science, and industry-recognized best practices. The EPA recently finalized the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements, a critical regulatory update to strengthen protections against lead exposure in drinking water. Building on the original Lead and Copper Rule of 1991 and its 2021 revisions, the EPA finalized the current update in October 2024.
