Leaky pipes and mold expose serious housing issues
During a recent government meeting, significant concerns were raised regarding excessive hot water temperatures and plumbing issues affecting residents. One participant reported that water from the faucet reached 175 degrees, well above the state code limit of 140 degrees. This has led to damage to household items, including frequent replacements of underwear and deformed plastic kitchen tools.

The discussion also highlighted ongoing sanitary plumbing leaks, which have resulted in mold growth and water intrusion into living spaces, particularly during heavy rainfall. The participant noted that these issues have persisted since the house's inception, with photographs taken in the fall of 2023 showing deteriorating conditions.

As the meeting progressed, the admission of various photographs depicting the damage was debated. While some images were accepted without objection, others were contested for their relevance, particularly those showing wildlife in the backyard. The chair emphasized the need to focus on health and structural issues rather than peripheral concerns.

The meeting underscored the urgency of addressing these plumbing and water temperature issues, as they pose significant risks to residents' health and property. The discussions are expected to continue as further evidence is presented and examined.
