Newark, NJ's Lead Problem: What You Need To Know

from Water Nerds · host Water Nerds by Hydroviv

Lead concentrations in Newark's drinking water have been in exceedance of the Federal Action Level since 2015. The largest city in New Jersey has struggled to keep lead concentrations under the 15 part per billion threshold ever since the standard was set in 1991. Recent sampling has detected staggering concentrations of lead in Newark's drinking water, ranging anywhere from 58 to 137 parts per billion. You may be wondering why this issue has not been thrust into the national spotlight. Our water nerds go into detail to fill you in about the latest in Newark.
