EPA officials to test 300 homes on Lead Levels in Water Pipes - Benton Harbor MI Nov. 2021

 from Channel 4 online article clickondetroit.com/ 

BENTON HARBOR, Mich. – Officials with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will soon start testing the water in 300 homes in a Michigan city where there’s been a lead crisis to check certified filters given area residents by the state to remove lead from the drinking water.

EPA officials will collect water samples in Benton Harbor, according to The Herald-Palladium. The process is expected to last several weeks.

“Starting next week, we will be going into homes and collecting water that goes both through the filter and the water itself without the filters,” Tera Fong, from the EPA’s Region 5 office in Chicago, told the newspaper Friday. “It’s about a 30-minute home visit.”
