Washington, DC: Search drinking water lead tests in your neighborhood

[Skinner]

I just noticed that on washingtonpost.com they've got a little form that will search your neighborhood for results of lead testing...

We've got high lead in our neighborhood. The city sent us a free Brita water filter, but I don't really trust it to do the job.

1. Does the water level do anything to lower the price

of real estate in your area?

I'm looking for a condo in town and can't afford Arlington.

2. I do not know.

I sure hope not.

Where are you looking for a condo?

4. sure didn't affect the neighborhood I came from

these little ol' rowhouses are going for as much as $240K....what a shame...

3. The DC Govt

sent me a testing kit when I asked for it. I sent the results off to a lab and they should be back with them shortly, assuming the DC Gov't works as its supposed to.

But I already know I have a lead serviceline.
