Flint is an hour East of here. They are still having problems with lead in the water there. First they replaced all the water mains. While it reduced lead levels it didn't completely fix the problem.

Then they replaced the pipes running from the mains to the house. That helped a lot (entire sections of the city are lead free) but those still having problems believe it's in the pipes in the house. There isn't a will among state government to tear up the houses to replace all the pipes. If this works it could help those still suffering.
