I'm on a water district board, had a meeting last night. Our Manager told us that getting brass fittings such as valves, especially water main valves, water meter sets, etc. are becoming impossible. I think every water company, and municipality, is dealing with this. Getting the raw materials to cast brass is messed up. It's not in the news, because if it doesn't bleed it doesn't lead. So think of this, when you can't get a model or paint, there are more important things to be worried about. I better stop before I get into trouble. ?
