A city replaced 23,000+ lead pipes in under three years.
A · 22/24
1 · The idealist case (in its proponents' own framing)
Replace every lead line fast, financed up front.
2 · The realist counter-case

3 · Predicted vs. measured — with caveats
23,000+ lines replaced in <3 years (vs an 8-year estimate), ~$170M, lead to ~0 ppb; the EPIC 'Echoing Newark' playbook.
4 · Liberty check
A resident's right to safe water vs. upfront cost.
5 · The real tradeoff
Evidence favors the policy - a model worth copying.
