Infrastructure is perhaps the most important component of building a civilization, though it comes with a key issue. The issue is that infrastructure is expensive, and most nations aren’t eager to update what has already been done. The Romans had basic plumbing, but their systems certainly don’t pass modern health standards. On the other hand, the U.S. built a robust water system that was ahead of its time. However, that system was ahead of its time around a century ago.
With a modern understanding of contaminants and water health, we can recognize the lead pipes across America as a significant issue. The federal government has been hard at work to treat this issue, passing a bill for $15 billion to replace these lead lines. However, $15 billion loses its luster once the cost of individual replacements pile up across 50 states and a few million lines. The utility companies that own these lines would take on significant costs to replace the lines and suddenly it becomes a battle to maintain their bottom line. It is the homeowners that are caught in the middle, the most affected by the contamination and the least able to improve it. The most we can do is stay educated. That is where the EPA’s contamination map demonstrates its value, showing citizens how their states fair when it comes to lead contaminants. An essential resource that will help us stay safe as the government makes slow but steady strides towards good water health.
