By most standards water in the N.Y. metro area is some of the safest in the world, but an important question was raised at the annual meeting about lead levels. Because the plumbing in Village View is quite old every apartment with young children should have their water tested for lead. Approximately 4% of all children have lead levels high enough to cause learning disabilities and other medical problems. N.Y. offers free water testing for lead, and all you have to do is call 311 for a free kit. I did, although it may be too late for me to get back the 25 I.Q. points I've already lost.
