Biden announces 10-year deadline to remove all lead pipes nationwide
The EPA estimates that nine million homes in the U.S. have lead pipes.
"We're here today because we're finally addressing an issue that should have been addressed a long time ago in this country — the danger that lead pipes pose to our drinking water," Mr. Biden said. "For too long, local communities have known how important it was to deal with this problem. It hadn't been given the national priority that it demanded though. I'm here today to tell you that I'm finally insisting that it gets prioritized and I'm insisting it get done."
~ Joseph Biden, next write-in candidate that'll win the next election.
I'm not quite sure what to say to this one. Out of nowhere you're dropping a ten year deadline for upending the entire decaying sewer infrastructure of the U.S in like, the last stretch of your career? The fuck?
You're viewing a single thread.
We need to replace those lead pipes with esbestos pipes
i personally hope theyre all replaced with flimsy plastic lined styrofoam
yeah, and then instead of lead from decaying lead pipes, we can have micrplastics from decaying plastic pipes :D it's future proof!
Imagine a major sewer line made entirely out of plex
You know how you can just run many smaller lines to equate the flow rate of one larger line, right? So imagine instead of one sewer line converted to giant plex, it's like three dozen or so just regular sized plex lines running the sewage system, only they're brown instead of blue or red or white. That should do it. No need for a large pipe.
yeah, that wont be a problem when someone flushes one of those "flushable" wipes...
Dude, they're clearly marked flushable, I don't see what the problem is
I felt a great disturbance in the Force...as if millions of plumbers cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.
When winter comes it's perfect reaping season for contracts with cracked pipes.
I said below they're just gonna replace every major sewer line with Plex and say fuck it when the winter comes.
