Bruce, did you open up the old tanks to show the contamination?? The ballsy move is a gamble, but it would be to replace tanks again, prefaced with your lawyer's letter, explaining to the town that they should expect delivery of almost new tanks that they can use in their municipal facilities! Oh, and a bill or debit from your tax bill. Document everything you can........ Save, date, and label tap water and drawn off water from the new tanks. Would the town like to come out and measure the linear footage of copper heating pipe their system has compromised a second time? That department head should have a standing order to at least shut off the supply main to YOUR house, before they open up the street main, and knock on your door to notify you.
