Recent drinking water tests conducted in Granbury now show no elevated lead levels, following previous concerns that some samples had detected higher lead concentrations.
Last month, the city of Granbury reported that while most of the 60 water samples collected earlier this March were below the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) action level for lead, 22 samples had shown elevated lead levels.
The city previously explained that lead can enter drinking water primarily due to the corrosion or wearing away of materials containing lead in the water distribution system or household plumbing in older homes.
On Sept. 12, however, the city received updated results from tests conducted in early August at the same 60 locations, which now reveal that none of the samples exceeded the EPA’s lead limits.
The city states that it regularly tests its drinking water and will continue to do so.
