Aren’t the budgets based on the tax income for the districts? Wealthier people tend to be white, and wealthier people have more alternatives on where to live… so why would they choose to live somewhere without clean water, just to save a bit of money?
It’s still the same answer in the end… but it’s not like some councilman is saying “those blacks won’t be getting clean water as long as I’m in charge”, no? I’d imagine that neighborhoods filled with poverty-whites would also have bad water quality.

Tax income is usually larger on mixed-use land, that rich people tend to avoid…
I’d tend to agree with all of that. I’m not USian so my comment was - mainly - anecdotal.
