It didn’t even stop then. My own city (Portland) has been regularly exceeding EPA lead action levels since 1998[1].

All they need to do is treat the water to raise ph like every other city with a large lead solder install base, but they’ve been dragging their feet for literally decades while the people they serve get lead exposure.

What is provable is that the type of fluoride that they are using is NOT the supposedly 'healthy' type that is good for teeth.
