It isn't an infrastructure problem, it is corrosive water. Washington DC had a somewhat similar lead problem about 15 years ago due to increased corrosivity when they shifted from free chlorine to combined chlorine. It was fixed by simply adding a few milligrams per liter of phosphate to the water. It did not cost a lot of money to do that. Joe Cotruvo
