The people of flint would like a word.
Flint public works water treatment is responsible for the water problems in Flint, MI.
Lead water pipes are completely safe, most of Europe still has lead pipes, Lead forms an Oxide layer that prevents the lead from leeching out.
The same sort of thing happened a few years ago in Jackson, Mississippi when elected officials found a new cute new form of politics for joe biden and the midterms, by shutting off the water treatment plant and blaming the state level government while crying racism.
The Army Core of Engineers showed up and all they had to do was turn the production of clean drinking water back on.
They did have real and compounding problems too, but due to the demographics of who gets the nice government jobs it can be explained as another case like flint of corruption, and gross incompetence.
