Price Doubles: "Montreal Spending $540 Million To Replace Lead Pipes" [1]

"The City of Montreal is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to replace lead pipes that deliver water to homes.

The project has now doubled in cost – Montreal now expects to spend about $540 million.

The city said the hike is because the techniques they chose when they started the project are now obsolete."
