2019 Multimodal and transit Summit, New Haven CT
We were proud to sponsor this summit at the partnership level. The keynote speaker, Charles C. Brown defined equity at the beginning of his talk. We know that this is always a challenge because there are so many definitions put forward. We'd like to share his with you.
Equity involves trying to understand and give people what they want to enjoy full, healthy lives.
Equity is the presence of justice and fairness within the procedures, processes, and distribution of resources by institutions or systems.
Facing equity issues requires an understanding of the underlying or the root causes in inequalities and oppression within society.

"The water that leaves RWA's treatment plants...has no lead in it. But as water sits in plumbing systems small amounts of lead from lead pipes or lead solder...can dissolve in the water". From "waterlines" included in our last bill from RWA: https://www.rwater.com/media/3814/waterlines-spring-2019.pdf
Information is included about how to test your water and what to do about it if it has high lead levels. If you are concerned and don't want to get the test done you could just follow the guidelines in the article as a precaution.

Ted Talk: Dr. Rishi Manchanda tells how he solved a mysterious serious injury by asking a patient with chronic and severe headaches about the place where she lived. Why aren't more doctors asking these questions and helping their patients with the adverse health effects from environmental pollution?
