Flint MI was an eye opener for me. Apparently Michigan has very old infrastructure and there's lead pipes everywhere in their distribution so they pump a certain amount of a silica type substance with the water to line the walls of them to keep the lead levels acceptable... someone forgot it and the water became toxic.
I saw the Netflix series, and they did not explain that as explicitly as you have. How much would it cost, do you think, to replace all of the lead pipes? The federal government has that kind of money to throw around - and the military can build stuff, did you know? [Insert Romans were soldiers AND builders; as were the Normans; as are the Russians actually]
It's a conundrum, especially as each batch of 'new' elected council-members want to leave their mark - and often those turn into over-budget projects 'for the community', that is: weird, architecturally designed structures to be library/'information hubs', while no-one attempts to make sense of the rabbit-warren that is the underground infrastructure. Those pipes are the easiest thing to forget to check, actually.
There are archeological sites in Turkey, where the Romans had built a white, shining city, and it was abandoned once the water infrastructure failed. People did not bother to live in a beautiful city where the water did not work. So, just think on that, for a second.
Problem is, that using a silica mineral in the water to 'seal' the pipes is not maintenance, it's a plaster. And such last-minute actions can have devastating consequences when administrations are busy scheming to take fund-raising money away from the police because of a Marxist plant in their midst believes that defunding the police will solve crime and release more money for 'something else'. And that's the problem. Possibly, the spiking crime can be an issue for the Federal government, if they choose to go there, just saying.
No-one is able to decode the history of those pipes from aging paperwork that is mostly a mystery, even to qualified building inspectors - people did not really keep records in those days, like we are used to now. The records will be single sheets of paper with unintelligible signatures and some ticks, maybe a site-map if you are lucky.
The historical pipes map would require a qualified team of auditors just to find all the paperwork, and even then the map would still be patchy. Furthermore, the technology is there to map the infrastructure from physical surveys, but the money isn't. [Hello Federal government - are you going to build a new city, or are you going to replace just the infrastructure and let the people re-build the rest?]
IMO, one needs to start again, with a new water network made to code - By all means remove the lead if you find it, but otherwise, just abandon it. Just as one would raze a building and start again - which is cheaper than doing it in bits, and less dangerous than relying on some old maintenance man to remember to biff in the plaster, while everyone drinks and showers in leaded water.
But fundamentally, it is the fault of lies, and cover-ups and narcissism within the city administration. OSHA standards are for cissies and all that. Not quite an insurrection to ignore, but murderous when one takes into account what lead does to human bodies when ingested.
If they don't make a new infrastructure in Flint, the city will only die. IMO, it is the only issue, and it's existential. If the people keep voting for cougar sloganeering Marxists (power to the people) or the more insidious let's restructure, 'efficiency and effectiveness'; been-to-Stanford, watched TEDx merchants, then more fool those voters.
What they need in the council, are planners, drainlayers, plumbers, and the will, and people's agreement, to dig up all the streets. Something about cleaning up the place so that people will want to live there and pay rates, and have a functioning city council that picks up the rubbish and administers the infrastructure. Forget about all the bells and whistles.
Prompt for Brave AI: Steam distilling efficacy in removing PFOA from water
Steam distillation is effective in removing PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid) from water, as PFOA has a much higher boiling point than water and does not evaporate with the steam. This means that PFOA remains in the boiling chamber while the pure steam condenses into distilled water, resulting in the removal of PFOA
Studies have shown that distillation can remove over 99.9% of PFOA from water
Other issues are pesticiedes: Bifenthrin
Dithiopyr
Fluazinam
For organic chemistry nerds, the working dfinition of a PFA is:
A substance that has at least two fluorine
atoms on one saturated carbon and at least
one fluorine on an adjacent carbon with
neither carbon bound to a hydrogen (see
structure image),
where none of R1
, R2
, or R3
is H
Suddenly we’re supposed to believe whatever doom the EPA releases in the death battle to justify its continued existence?
Has DOGE audited the EPA yet? How many employees are deep state? Has anyone been laid off yet—or is about to be? Who that’s not a fed stands to make money off “fixing” the problem? Any NGOs involved? Private companies? Other entities?
I’m not saying that the PFAS story is all fake news. I just want to question how much of it has been doctored for drama in ways that could generate cash trails for those involved. Follow the money; the fun continues.
Search “EPA” and “Trump” online and draw your own conclusions about what the real EPA crisis is.
I've been distilling my own water, I been adding baking soda and Celtic salt. Hydrated as hell and been making me feel great. I recommend it, I got my water distiller from Vevor.com, It was less than $100. I do not regret the investment.
I will definitely keep that in mind,I been doing 2 gallons at once then clean. 2 gallons lasts 8 days. 32oz with a teaspoon of Celtic salt and a teaspoon of baking soda a day. I recommend it.
If it ate through stainless steel, let's us know we don't need to be drinking it.

Prompt for Brave AI: Steam distilling efficacy in removing PFAS from water
Distillation is considered an effective method for removing PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) from drinking water, as it separates contaminants through evaporation and condensation
During the distillation process, water is heated to create steam, which is then condensed back into liquid form, leaving PFAS behind due to their much higher boiling points compared to water
Laboratory tests have confirmed that distillers can remove over 99.9% of PFAS, including PFOA and PFOS
I drive 18 miles to fill up on drinking water for the month from a natural spring. It's better than Fiji or Evian. I use my Ketadyn filter when I'm backpacking... I'm a water snob.
I have invested in a water filter.
Also, Alex Jones was right.
Also, Flint? East Palestine?

A primer on what are fluorinated compounds?

Oh and Prozac is one of the compounds. It does not break down, and accumulates in anyone drinking it, even at minute levels. See: "Florinated pharmaceuticals". Think also the 'enhanced antibiotics'. read more here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/fluoroquinolone-antibiotics
