I think the problem there is lead pipes and old infrastructure that hasn’t been replaced… half assed renovations which causes changes in pressure and acidity etc and cause the problems with the lead being released.

Yes… just looked it up… they switched sources of water which caused the old lead pipes to leach toxins and they didn’t use enough chlorine which allowed some bacteria to thrive and make people sick
