Elevated lead levels in the water supply at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio, have been traced to a construction project, according to an article on the Dayton Daily News website.
In late June, water samples at the hospital tested five to 10 times above the Environmental Protection Agency’s guideline for lead amounts.
A nearby road construction project likely disturbed the sediment, officials said.
The lead was discovered because the hospital is required to test for lead and copper. The hospital is required to sample its water in the southeast addition every six months.
