    Do you really think they are gonna pay money to improve water treatment instead of just telling everyone to buy bottled water? Full Country Flint Michigan speedrun incoming.

      I think they'll improve water quality treatment up to a point - lots of places are using more activated carbon treatments as source water is degrading, for example - but after a certain point places will just import water like in parts of Mexico City. A lot of people observed the downsides of sprawl as it relates to transit, which is fair, so thought I'd add that it's also really bad for urban water systems.
