I was reading where Chicago, Illinois has an incredible problem with lead in their public drinking fountains.   This problem is all over in public buildings, parks and even in homes where lead pipes are still in existence.  This is a problem that can have both immediate and long-range problems for adults and children in the city.  Children growing up drinking this polluted water can have many health problems including learning disabilities, behavioral problems and a variety of diseases.   The homeless are also prone to having problems because they rely on public drinking fountains every day.
