FILE - In this March 21, 2016 file photo, a lead main service line is exposed and measured after digging a hole to expose, remove and replace a lead main service line in Flint, Mich. Lawmakers confronting the cost of Flint's water crisis and the Detroit school district's enormous debt are also being asked for an initial $165 million deposit to upgrade aging underground infrastructure across Michigan. It's not just the lead pipes that carry water into older homes and businesses that eventually need replacing. Water mains, sewer lines, wastewater treatment plants, the electricity grid, oil and natural pipelines, and telecommunications infrastructure will require improvements, too.
