CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

A couple at the federal level. The big one is the EPA, the agency that promulgated the rule in the OP. But regulation around this issue has historically been sort of weak because of the poltical power of utilities.

My understanding (gleaned from the reporting on the situation in Flint, MI) is that lead pipes aren't necessarily that big a deal IF the water chemistry is managed properly. IIRC, the lead only leaches out if the pH level is within a certain range (I forget if this causes the lead to dissolve directly or if it dissolves the film that develops on the pipes that was preventing the lead from leaching), and what happened in Flint was that they changed water supplies without properly adjusting their treatment process to account for the different acidity.

Lucky for you guys; keeping Big Lead out of your country must have contributed to your country’s high ranking in education.

I'll put slightly more weight on the education reforms that started in the 70s.
Our education system wasn't very good and quite old fashioned before that.
