City Says Testing Shows Safe Levels Of Lead In Columbus' Drinking Water

The Columbus Division of Water says testing conducted this summer shows the municipal water supply contains very low but safe levels of lead. The testing was conducted after lead contamination was found in Flint, Michigan and the village of Sebring, Ohio. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has issued 12 lead advisories statewide.
