Hey yeah there's an option. Tell everyone in the house no more showers! Polys need wcs. No just kidding man. I feel for you and your community. We had the Flint water crisis here. Seemed like the whole world was watching. Anytime I went out of state or talked to someone from out of state and they heard where I was from it was omg it's so terrible. I was like this is really not all that bad, people live with worse all their lives. Then I just started making jokes like....well if the gang bangers knew how to shoot we wouldn't have all this extra lead in the water, or if they'd stop dumping lead filled bodies in the river...

It will pass. Sounds like you have alot of good ideas and a pretty sound stratagy even without all the great ideas above.
