(Cairo, IL) — Illinois‘ U.S. senators want to know why federal housing officials are installing water filters in Cairo. Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth both pressed HUD leader for answers this week after folks living in Cairo’s public housing complexes said they got new filters. HUD says the filters are just a precaution against lead in the water. The feds are moving about 200 families out of Cairo’s public housing complexes because the homes are beyond repair.
