More than one third of Renfrew and Smiths Falls homes tested in a provincially mandated drinking water survey this month had lead levels above the provincial limit
Of the 20 homes tested in Smiths Falls, eight had lead levels above 0.010 parts per million, the level the province considers safe.

hmmmmmmmm,,,,,,,,,very scary considering the health consequences of having lead in your system. Especially for children! Do you know: What are the chances of having lead in your water if you are not on a municipal water system? One more thing to worry about,,,,,like we needed that! Grrrrrr,,,

I think it's a problem limited to post-war houses ie. Jasper St. area. If you have concerns about your supply, the health unit offers free testing as often as you like.
