![Maybe I'm not crazy. Maybe it is just all the lead I may have been drinking. [2150x2867 - 599KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/mYVIBw.jpg){kind=link}
Not in the midwest, but most of the homes in my neighborhood were built well before 1920, not sure about the exact age of my building. Closest similar house on Zillow was built in 1905.
I tried to read the rest of your post, but it was confusing and gave me a headache and abdominal pain.
...headache and abdominal pain.
Pregnancy confirmed - also low sperm count.
Edit - TIL: Philly isn't in the Midwest. Damnit.
I was wondering why you said Midwest.
I feel like I am one of the few who is pretty obvious about where I live.
I have mentioned time and again that I live in Missouri, and post shit in s/Missouri - where have you been? My point was made with reference to my experience (ie: water line construction I am familiar with). Your experience may vary. However in practice, east coast cities embraced new materials and technologies before the flyover states.
If your street has ever been reconstructed, it's possible the services were replaced by the city and they didn't update their records (I mean, they don't know what's there now so...). Look up the water quality report for pH info and move forward from there. If you feel your service is probably lead AND the pH of the water is low (< 7), start drinking bottled water or get a Brita water pitcher filter, etc.
With 1905 construction, lead service line materials are probable. Makes knowing the pH of your water even more important.
Here's the link (water.phila.gov) - it even tells you you have 3 plants from which to choose. Regardless, you're drinking water sourced from a local river.
Sad news though - your water commissioner is a nigger.
Naw, the letter says the 'lead' isn't from the plant, it MAY be from the connection to the main
Go back to the beginning and re-read what I wrote - specifically why you are looking for information on the pH of the water exiting the plant. That's why knowing which plant serves you is important.
