Test results show Flint water system has 'stabilized,' state DNR director says

FLINT, MI -- No home with a new service line tested above the federal limit for lead in water during sampling in November, the state Department of Environmental Quality says.

All 146 homes with replacement lines that were tested last month registered less than 15 parts per billion of lead, the DEQ said in a news release Monday, Dec. 4, and the 90th percentile of homes tested was 2 ppb, meaning 90 percent of tests registered less than 2 ppb of lead.

"Consistency of several types of extensive testing data is reassuring and further supports that Flint's water system has stabilized," Michigan Department of Natural Resources Director Keith Creagh said in a statement.

Creagh, former interim director of the DEQ, has been active in Flint water issues since the resignation of former director Dan Wyant two years ago.
