A Los Angeles councilmember called for immediate testing, reporting and remediation to address alarming levels of lead contamination in drinking water found in homes in the Watts area.
Los Angeles City Councilman Tim McOsker Tuesday called for immediate testing, reporting and remediation to address alarming levels of lead contamination in drinking water found in homes in the Watts area.
Additionally, the Housing Authority would create a strategy to communicate with residents about any efforts and progress being made to ensure their safety. A recent study conducted by the Better Watts Initiative revealed that some water samples contained lead concentrations much higher than what the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency deems normal, a level of 15 parts per billion. Higher levels require mandatory infrastructure repairs and public notifications under the agency's guidelines.
