The lab that tested the water initially determined that the water quality grew worse between 2005 and 2007. Based on your observations do you agree or disagree with their findings? Why?

Most water systems test for lead as a regular part of

water monitoring. These tests give a system-wide

picture, but do not refl ect conditions at a specifi c

Testing is the only way to confi rm if lead is present or

absent.

Some faucet and pitcher fi lters can remove lead from

drinking water. If you use a fi lter to remove lead, be
