I was shocked after reading about this. As Seattle school children began the 2003-2004 school year, school officials in Seattle wrestled with a problem. Testing performed on the water at the City’s public schools had uncovered the presence of lead in that water. School authorities could not expect the students to be drinking lead-laden water.

By October of 2004, the Seattle authorities had chosen the purification system that seemed to be both Read the rest of this entry »
