Which may - eventually - solve one of the several problems with the water, that of lead contamination, but it will do nothing to address the problems caused by a century of pollution by heavy industry that has made the water so caustic that it eats the pipes in the first place and has added a blanket of heavy metals on the riverbed. And then there's the Legionnaires Disease outbreak that's been traced to the river water.
