EPA discovered that Newark's water supply had excessive concentration of lead. That is, it was poisonous. Toxic. Neuro-toxic. Mayor Ras Baraka blamed the aged infrastructure and apparently believed that corrosion
control efforts had solved it.
It should have been so. In a normally functioning city.
control efforts had solved it.
It should have been so. In a normally functioning city.
“But Newark changed course after a study found that lead was leaching into the water because of ineffective corrosion treatment at the city’s Pequannock plant,” The New York Times reported. “Last year, lead levels in more than half the samples tested at homes served by the plant exceeded the 15 parts per billion standard.”
In response to the EPA letter, Mayor Ras Baraka and New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy issued a joint statement asking the federal government for help in resolving the crisis. A modest 70 million.
However, the problem can easily controlled through corrosion control at the Pequannock facility. Water treatment is no rocket science. It is basic chemistry. Adding buffer chemicals to control the pH. And work ethics, like not stealing the money budgeted for the chemicals. The Flint Water Treatment Plant had the same problem and they too claimed government help. President Obama declared National Emergency and generously, sent millions to Flint municipal incompetents. Ras Baraka expects the same from Trump. This is becoming a routine.

Ras Baraka is son of poet Amiri Baraka. His sister Shani was killed in a domestic violence episode. I gather that Newark needs lots of Federal assistance to function. I love America. This is so sad.
