For the home town crowd, the University of New Mexico School of Law’s new environmental law professor, Cliff Villa, is talking next week about Flint:
Flint talk
The law school’s at 1117 Stanford Dr NE.
Albuquerque talk next week on Flint water crisis
Unfortunately, I can’t attend. Will the lecture cover whether this might happen in ABQ since we also use river water and have old pipes?
Dunno, but I do know that Albuquerque was attentive to the issues raised by risks associated with changed chemistry when they shifted to river water, and after Flint I got some of the ABQ lead data and it does not look like an issue here.
i live about 30 miles from Flint, the place has been a circus for many, many years.
as long as there are no major changes to the water chemistry a system should be fairly stable. as to what the pipes are made from and what is in them your system operators should know.
