Lets get to Kent Wainscott at first, city hall with the mayors advice. The mayor says the safety risk from underground lead pipes pipes leading to homes is greatest for young children. But while the city works on a longterm solution a simple step can help protect you and your family. We want to make sure that people realize this is not an alarmist call. Mayor tom barre s threat from lead Service Lines is real, but it is no greater now than when he first alerted residents to the problem last january. Our concern is about the safety of the people who live in this community, and there is a particular concern for infants and children under the age of six. Lead lines connect about 70,000 milwaukee homes built before the 1950s to the water main beneath the street. Late last year the city , discovered lead leeching into work was happening. But at a forum at Marquette Law School yesterday, a water safety expert said the lead is always a concern. As long as we have those lead pipes, no one knowledgeable will ever say that water is safe unless it is passed through a filter designed to remove lead. First thing, lead. And those filters began to sell quickly in some places after the mayor encouraged owners of older homes to get one. Out of stock online for a number of them. Yeah, it concerns me. It ought to concern every milwaukeean. Alderman bob donovan wants to know what the mayor plans to do to ensure the safety of the water supply. Replacing all of the lead lateral Service Lines could cost more than a half billion and could take decades. Dollars to expect us to be able to do that in one fell swoop is both economically and physically impossible to do. Problem . The mayor says he plans to lay out a time line to Begin Replacing those lead laterals in his upcoming budget. In the short term, he says he will look at whether the city can provide water filters to those affected homeowners. Patrick i am in our break room or a noun to give you a night get type of filter the mayor is talking about. It didnt take long to hook up ,it cost 29. Before you buy one, look on the box. It should say that it filters lead. Also, if youre wondering if you can get lead poisoning from showering, the Health Commissioner says thats not the case. In terms of bathing and showering, there is no risk of lead being absorbed through the skin. Patrick once it is installed you can see the water just flows , through as normal. You can find the filters at stores. We have more information on the 12 news app and wisn. Com. Toya changes in the works for this weekends tosa fest.
