On: We don’t trust drinking fountains anymore, and that’s bad for our health

There was a lead in the water pipes scare in Wasington DC when I lived there 10 years ago. Don't know what happened since.

They give advice that if you live in a house with lead pipes to run the water for a few minutes before using it if the pipes have been still for a while.
