Capitol Hill: Tests Show High Levels of Lead in Drinking Water
--------------------------------------------------------------

On Capitol Hill, water tests have found high levels of lead in the
drinking water in the Cannon Office Building. At least one drinking
fountain tested had lead levels three times higher than the EPA safety
limit. A USA Today investigation, launched in the wake of the Flint
water poisoning crisis, found nearly 2,000 water systems across the
United States contained high levels of lead contamination.
