If it only costs 1.6 million dollars to replace 160 lead pipes and only 30 miles of water main are getting replaced in philly, but this all costs 150 million dollars, is there fraud going on here? Where unscrupulous contractors are charging an exorbitant amount and pocketing the money?

Is there any fraud oversight of the infrastructure package?
