Lead in Drinking Water Study

19. January 2010 by Carol Whitaker.

In my previous report, I said that according to the letter written by the Port Everglades director to Publix regarding the six sites of the water distribution system found to have levels of lead higher than 15 parts per billion allowed by Federal regulation, that Broward county had 12 months to correct the problem. In a subsequent reading of the letter posted at Publix on southwest 17 street by the Port, I learned, the 12 months allowed was to study the pipes’ corrosion. not to fix the problem.

That begs the question how long before there is a remedy?  How big is the problem?

The letter was dated September 30, 2009. I just noticed it posted last week .
