STAMFORD, Conn., Dec. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- BlueTriton Brands applauds the Environmental Protection Agency for its announcement to require water utilities to replace lead pipes across the country and impose stricter limits on lead in drinking water.

"Water is a resource we all rely on for good health, and everyone should have access to safe drinking water. We applaud the EPA for its historic announcement, which would help protect the safety of the water that flows into schools, homes, workplaces, and community buildings across America," said Joey Bergstein, CEO of BlueTriton, stewards of brands such as Poland Spring®, Saratoga® Spring Water, and Deer Park®.

"At BlueTriton, our whole world is water. Every day we are working to protect drinking water to make sure it is safe and available through water stewardship, monitoring and investing in water infrastructure. We look forward to reviewing the details of the EPA's proposal, and we will continue to work with policymakers and regulators at all levels of government to protect the safety of drinking water."
