The city of Newark, New Jersey, is distributing bottled water to some residents after tests found homes contaminated with unsafe levels of lead in the water supply, even when a filter was used
ByThe city of Newark, N.J., with help from the state, began distributing bottled water to some residents Monday, after officials warned over the weekend that some city-issued water filters may not be working to sufficiently reduce lead levels.
In the past week, two Newark homes out of three tested were found to be contaminated with lead above what is considered safe, even when a filter was used, according to the city.
