The Latest: Ohio town criticized for water-testing reporting
The state Environmental Protection Agency says a northeastern Ohio village previously criticized for not properly notifying residents about high lead levels in tap water has failed to communicate recent test results to homeowners who requested sampling.
Director Craig Butler says Ohio EPA staff conducting follow-up testing over the weekend realized the village hadn't promptly and thoroughly notified a few residents whose water had showed high lead levels.
The state Environmental Protection Agency says the latest round of tests in a northeast Ohio village has found high levels of lead in tap water at 11 of the 180 homes where owners voluntarily submitted samples.
