Greg- yes, please check on the reported expense of the additive.
First off, I feel for anyone who would see a child harmed by drinking or bathing in water supplied from a trusted source. A source not easy to avoid- how many urban homes have a well backup, or can truthfully afford bottled water for drinking, cooking and bathing? That must be a terrible feeling.
I read where the water treatment facility- again, not a politician or appointed representative- made the decision to use lime as the additive rather than another chemical. Since the Detroit water previously used had already been processed, the new-source raw river water changed dramatically in composition, and an incorrect action was chosen.
At work, one of my roles is to operate our water treatment plant. We take straight lake water and clean it up to the quality that it will not even conduct electricity.

I can react to results and change quickly.
It does get political when sample results, including end user complaints of smell, taste, and skin irritation are ignored. Then testing shows elevated levels of lead in home water supplies, but response is VERY slow. Poor choices on top of a poor choice.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
