Flint records lowest lead levels in drinking water since creation of stricter state standards
Date: July 23, 2021
EGLE Director Liesl Clark joined Flint Mayor Sheldon Neeley to announce the results. The people of Flint deserve safe, clean drinking water, she said. I d like to be the first to congratulate the mayor and city staff for reaching this important milestone. EGLE remains committed to protecting residents from lead exposure by working collaboratively with the city to reduce and ultimately eliminate sources of lead in their drinking water system.
Since July 2016, Flint s water system has tested below action levels of the federal Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) during 10 consecutive monitoring periods. The latest six-month monitoring period from Jan. 1 through June 30 shows that 90% of the samples collected are at 3 parts per billion (ppb) under the new, stricter state rule that requires a fifth liter sample to better reflect the impact of lead service
