This article is from 2022.
I'm guessing it's posted now as a response to the Kansas Attorney General's recent Twitter post that questions the benefit of removing lead pipes:
"Biden wants to replace lead pipes ... all for benefits that may be entirely speculative."

- nerdponx 3y agoOh, so the Boston Lead Replacement Incentive program is based on benefits that may be entirely speculative? Might I encourage you to sample our finest tap water, from our finest century-old lead pipes? Oh, maybe another day then.
- jncfhnb 3y agoFWIW, while I support the program, most of our pipes, including all the water mains, are fine. The water supply is fine. It’s the private lines to specific buildings that are old and problematic.
- nerdponx 3y agoFortunately that's exactly what the program covers: replacing crusty old supply pipes running from the main to your building.
