I knew America's infrastructure wasn't being funded so I was just watching for bridges to start collapsing.
Wasn't expecting it to be in the pipes bringing the water.
Not in 2016.
Make you wonder about violent criminals in the past decade and if lead had any help in that. We thought we eliminated that decades ago but apparently not.
America's infrastructure is being funded just fine. The numbers are coming down and have been doing so since their peaks in the 90s, an example are bridges are now half their number from before. However the Federal government cannot do all the required work on bridges or even roads as it does not have dominion over them.
What that means is that in many areas, same as with water distribution, this is wholly managed and supported by local authorities. This can be city, county, or even state level.
Funding isn't the problem. Spending wisely is the problem.
California just spent US$7 billion (thousand million in non-US terms) on a bridge that was originally going to be a $400 million project... and the $7B bridge is a piece of crap. A pretty piece of crap, mind you, but much less safe than the cheaper design would have been.
