"Bill aims to make national water standards voluntary"

CHICAGO -- Half of the country's water systems are making a potentially hazardous switch, while a bill aims to make national safe drinking water standards voluntary.
The Small Systems Safe Drinking Water Act makes it voluntary for plumbing companies to comply with national standards. The introduction of the act announces that it's intention is to, "to prevent the enforcement of certain national primary drinking water regulations unless sufficient funding is available or variance technology has been identified."
If your water is tainted with lead, there isn't much you can do about it. The manufacturer probably won't be liable and probably can't be sued.
