What is the matter with the water departments in these states and cities? Our water department sometimes adds clorine to the water you can smell it when it comes out of the faucet.

Cheaper solution. Install water coolers.

The DC lead water problem was known 40 years ago when Amy Carter was attending.

“The cheap option — turning off the drinking fountains — will work, but kids still need to have water throughout the day.”

So her solution is to give kids water from chemical-laden plastic bottles?

Maybe they could raises property taxes?
That won’t necessarily fix the problem.
But it’s a good excuse to raises taxes.

SOLUTION...

Homeschool. Not only is the water poisoned, but the curriculum too.

Dems get in by agitating minor crises. Then they loot the treasury and turn the minor crisis into a major crisis.

First it was non friable asbestos now it is lead pipes. What is next?

I and my entire family attended an asbestos laden lead pipe infested brick school (probably radon laced) school. I am here, 76 in two days. Our home had lead piping. There was asbestos visually present around steam pipes. I am certain we had radon gas too. Another created problem.

Probably few.
The rest comes from everyone residing in other states?

They’ve had decades to correct this situation.

When the issue came up again in recent years ..I must admit I was surprised..I thought it had been mostly fixed in the 70s-80s?

That’s the part where people start to wonder where all the taxes..including state and local taxes go?

It’s sort of like the trillions for infrastructure when Osama supposedly had did a overhaul on the infrastructure the EIGHT years he occupied the WH.

Sounds like propaganda to me. The tipoff is the statement that no amount of lead is safe.

The chlorine is a disinfectant. Usually twice a year water departments will flush their lines and add extra chlorine. This is done to get chlorine throughout the distribution system.

Are they talking about galvanized pipes? They aren’t lead.
