Look for Dems in Michigan to try this in the wake of a water scandal in Flint.
(long story short....Flint is bankrupt, under state receivership. They were buying their drinking water from Detroit. The state told them to stop doing that and to re-open their own water treatment plant to save money. Flint River water is much more acidic than the Detroit water they had been buying. It started dissolving the lead out of old house supply lines and kids started turning-up with lead poisoning)
EEEEEEVIL Republican Austerity killing children and all that.

The easy solution is to add something like AquaMag to the treatment. I did that at the plant I ran for 30 years. Other benefits of that treatment include coating everything with a thin protective film. No rust, no lead, valves work better, etc..
