Important Notice, MWRA Error on Brookline School Samples
On Tuesday, May 31, 2016, MWRA mistakenly reported that two samples from Brookline schools were above the lead action level. Due to human error, the Brookline samples were mixed in with a group of internal, experimental samples and somehow got out of sequence. Once the error was discovered, the samples were run again and we have confirmed that all of the Brookline school samples were below the lead action level. MWRA apologizes for the error and we have taken measures to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Posted 06/02/16, 4:22PM
