Thousands of Children Could Be Drinking Lead-Tainted Water Years After NBC4 Exposed the Problem.

7 years ago an NBC4 team discovered that Los-Angeles area schools were offering contaminated drinking water. Today, the schools have not fixed the problem of having too much lead in their water. Parents are pushing for the schools to fix the issue immediately.

This is relevant because it makes me wonder if M-A has clean drinking water. It also makes me wonder how often local schools have their water checked for toxins. If any local school has gone years without a checkup, I would want one sooner rather than later. The thought of drinking contaminated water is scary. It is surprising that the schools have not fixed this problem sooner as the students’ safety should be a top priority.
