After reading East Chicago lead contamination galvanizes residents by Craig Lyons and Drinking Water in Newark Schools Known to Have Lead Problem at Least 6 Years Ago by Patrick McGeehan, I got and understanding that both environments were going through a lead contamination in there water crisis. Both neighborhoods were informed that there was lead contamination in the water. The steps the towns took to resolve the issues were so contrasting. The mayor in East Chicago took matters right away and sent out letters to notify the residents about the contamination and that they needed to evacuate their houses because of contamination compared to how the school district and government took action was very different and ethical how the mayor in East Chicago listened to his citizens and pushed for his community to have the contamination resolved by the higher government officials find a solution. In East Chicago, Maritza Lopez reminds me of how Lee was in Friendswood. She was aware of how severe the problem of having lead contaminated water and she tries to notify her neighbors and the people in the community because things get done better with a larger group of people's support and just to spread awareness. I believe that if Friendswood's mayor continues to bypass the small percentage, of water that's not considered 'highly leveled' for lead, the situation wont die down it will only continue to develop into a bigger problem, like how the lead contamination continued to be pushed to the side in Newark. Only to believe that if it's not labeled as "high levels of contamination' it's not worth getting funds from the government to replace the pipes and work towards having clean water.
