Well I'm no entomologist, but wouldn't increased acidity be caused by pollution of one sort or the other?

Also, the "aging lead pipes" bit us significant in itself and caused by politicians who would rather give tax break to the rich than fix basic infrastructure before it poisons people too.

Isn't water infrastructure the remit of the state rather than the city too anyway, like it is in Mississippi and Georgia where they're ALSO famously poisoning poor people, people of color and ESPECIALLY poor people of color?

Maybe the water was acidic from pollution, could be just the different source. Either way, they should have thought it out and could have treated the pH of the water. And sure, the aging infrastructure is bullshit. The entire thing was completely unnecessary too, basically Republicans who wanted to fuck people over out of hatred and spite, as far as I could tell. I don't think we're in disagreement there.
