AT&T does not intend to immediately remove lead cables from Lake Tahoe

AT&T (T.N) said on Tuesday it does not intend to immediately remove lead cables from Lake Tahoe pending further analysis, according to its court filing.

AT&T on Tuesday harshly criticized the newspaper’s reporting and testing, saying it “differs dramatically from the expert testing commissioned by AT&T.”

In Tuesday’s court filing, AT&T argued that lead-clad cables “make up a small part” of its network.

The company estimated that lead-clad cables “represent less than 10% of its copper footprint of roughly two million sheath miles of cable, the overwhelming majority of which remains in active service.”
