Water Law: A Federal Perspective on Wisconsin’s Lead Pipe Problem

Please join us on April 5 as we welcome Congresswoman Gwen Moore to Eckstein Hall’s Lubar Center. Professor David Strifling, Director of Marquette Law School’s Water Law and Policy Initiative, will host a conversation with Congresswoman Moore that will explore the problem of lead service lines in Wisconsin’s water distribution systems and the possibility of federal involvement and funding to help address the issue. Law students, along with Professor Strifling, will also present the findings from their recent survey of public water systems on various approaches to Wisconsin’s lead pipe problem.

The program will begin promptly at 12:15 p.m. with an introduction by Derek Mosley, Director of the Law School's Lubar Center for Public Policy Research and Civic Education.  A light lunch will be available.
