Lead Drinking-Water Pipes Must Be Replaced Nationwide, E.P.A. Says

The “historic” rule aims to eliminate a major source of lead poisoning and comes a decade after a drinking-water crisis in Flint, Mich.

This should have been done long ago.

    Literally EVERY red state will sue to keep those pipes.

    I mean, obviously not all of them, the rich neighborhoods will have their shit fixed quick, but damned if Tennessee will spend good money to fix pipes going to those people.

      I assume the rich neighborhoods will have already have had their pipes replaced, in which case it would only be those people who are affected. Not that I have anything to back that suspicion up.
