this cheap little reverse osmosis filter retails for $150. It can produce approx. 19 gallons per day. The filters last for 6 months and it costs $40 to replace them all. This would be an excellent short term fix to address a nations fears regarding clean drinking water. 99% lead reduction, 95% chlorine reduction, NSF certified. It comes with its own little tap! Easier access to clean water is a win/win. Better water means people would be more inclined to drink it and properly hydrated people are healthier, so less healthcare expenses in the long run. Ehh ehhh?
$1.5B doesnt seem too bad, since the US govt is increasing military spending by $54B in 2018.
easy install; all parts included. Good idea/bad idea?

Can confirm. I have one (or similar). They are great. Filters last longer if you aren't a heavy user.

As an American, I haven't had running water in about 3 years.

When the government gets involved the costs are almost always higher than expected.
