In the wake of the Flint, Mich., water crisis, officials in Clare are not taking any chances. Recently it was revealed that water samples from two sites in Clare, located less than 100 miles from Flint, exceeded the allowable maximum amount of lead in the water, according to the Detroit Free Press and other media outlets.

As a result, officials at Clare Public Schools are collecting water samples to ensure there is no lead in the water children are drinking. Results of the testing are expected in late October to early November.

Lead can cause serious health problems for adults, as well as result in lower IQ and behavioral problems in children. The damage is difficult to reverse and can last a lifetime.

Of course, the problem of lead in water is not confined to Michigan. Between 2015 and 2018, approximately 5.5 million Americans in communities around the nation received their water from systems that exceeded the Environmental Protection Agency’s lead action level of 15 parts per billion.

“Many of the tens of thousands of community public water systems in this country don’t have the resources to comply with public health standards, and that puts everybody at risk,” said Allen Baler, Partner at Nashville, Tenn.-based 4Patriots.

“In most cases, water leaves treatment plants lead-free, but lead gets in the water on its way to homes and businesses. Many of the lead pipes leading to those places are 50 to 100 years old. It’s up to individuals to protect themselves and their families from lead in their tap water.”
