It’s corrosive because the rivers and streams have fairly high levels of chloride in them. You know chloride, the same compound use to treat the water for pathogens.

They have old infrastructure and aren’t using anti corrosive agents in the water. It’s that simple.

And every winter, our northern cities basically salt their earth.
