In 2016, the same year Flint was dealing with lead in drinking water, Newark was also facing accusations of lead-contaminated water, although the city reported the issue to be confined to buildings with aging infrastructure.  Subsequently, they prohibited the use of water fountains in 30 schools, providing bottled water, instead.  The following year, testing… [...]
