Adverse health effects are associated with lead exposure (1). On January 2, 2015, a water advisory was issued because of detection of high levels of trihalomethanes, byproducts of disinfectants.()(,)() Studies conducted by local and national investigators detected an increase in the prevalence of blood lead levels (BLLs) ≥5 g/dL (the CDC reference level) among children aged
