Newark officials began handing out bottled water to some residents earlier this month after tests found that some of the water filters they had previously distributed were not working properly. The new plan announced on Monday, funded by a new bond issuance by Essex County, would have those pipes all replaced within two to three years.
In October 2018, city officials began giving out some 38,000 water filters to residents to eliminate lead, which can cause health problems, especially in children, even at microscopic levels. The same kind of filters have been used in Flint, Michigan, a city that drew national attention in 2015 after children were poisoned by lead in the drinking water.
