Water Samples In Troy Show High Lead Levels

A new water quality report in Troy showed drinking water samples with lead levels ten times higher than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s “action level” limit. WRGB reports it makes a recently awarded multi-million dollar grant to the city for lead pipe replacement even more timely. One water sample taken between July and December of last year registered a lead level of 171 parts per billion (ppb). The EPA’s action level is 15 ppb.
