Perhaps Silence Dogood should ask Dixmoor officials whether any of these recent 14 water main breaks involved old asbestos cement water pipes? The EPA regulates asbestos in water. The American Cancer Society highlights swallowing asbestos, and water that runs through asbestos cement pipes on its website. If these breaks involve old asbestos cement water pipes, were residents informed, and was the water tested for asbestos? In closing, if these were asbestos cement pipes, what impact does a boil water order have on a fire retardant mineral?
