(a)shall apply to any project carried out in whole or in part with funds made available under this subsection. None of the funds made available under this subsection may be used for partial lead service line replacement if, at the conclusion of the service line replacement, drinking water is delivered to a household, or to a property under the jurisdiction of a local educational agency, through a publicly or privately owned portion of a lead service line. Any recipient of funds made available under this subsection shall offer to replace any privately owned portion of the lead service line at no cost to the private owner.

The term environmental justice community means any population of color, community of color, indigenous community, or low-income community that experiences a disproportionate burden of the negative human health and environmental impacts of pollution or other environmental hazards.
