"More than two years after federal researchers found high levels of lead in homes where water mains had been replaced or new meters installed, city officials still do little to caution Chicagoans about potential health risks posed by work that Mayor Rahm Emanuel is speeding up across the city."

Fortunately for all of the libturds that have run that state into the ground, there is a new republican governor who will get to be their fall-guy for the past few decades of stupidshit the liberals have done there.

Here is another tidbit.
"In a peer-reviewed study, researchers at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency found alarming levels of the brain-damaging metal can flow out of household faucets for years after construction work disrupts service lines that connect buildings to the city's water system. Nearly 80 percent of the properties in Chicago are hooked up to service lines made of lead."

So that study proves why chicago is in that state of crappiness.

There is no governor in Illinois. There is a CEO/tyrant but no governor. The man couldn't govern if his life depended on it. Hell, even the southern part of the state(largely red) are rejecting him(below a 40% approval rating).
See, Living proof that Leaded water makes the Water carriers Liberal !

I don't see this as a political party issue but one of gross incompetence. How is Chicago installing
new pipes that have the any potential for lead leakage?

They aren't. But, they installed lead service lines until 1986. So, they have a many, many, many in the ground. And, work on the main adjacent to those service lines can disrupt the phosphate coating that has built up on the lead service line, which allows the lead to enter the drinking water. Chicago is actively not advising residents of these issues when construction projects are done in a neighborhood. They've even changed the language on their public information to soften the issue of lead in the water.

I would love you know what type of newspeak is used to to circumvent the bolded.
I don't think there is a city that doesn't have lead pipes.

Going off my memory what was cited in the article, it said things like when the city notifies people of pending water main work, they suggest they run the faucet once construction is done to flush their system, but the City isn't saying why. Things like that.
My language was imprecise. The City isn't doing anything to fix the lead in the water. They've just crafted their message to not discuss it.
