Revealed: the 'shocking' levels of toxic lead in Chicago tap water
Tests performed for thousands of Chicago residents found lead, a neurotoxic metal, in amounts far exceeding the federal standards.
One in 20 tap water tests performed for thousands of Chicago residents found lead, a neurotoxic metal, at or above US government limits, according to a Guardian analysis of a City of Chicago data trove.
And one-third had more lead than is permitted in bottled water.
This means that out of the 24,000 tests, approximately 1,000 homes had lead exceeding federal standards. Experts and locals say these results raise broader concerns, because there are an estimated 400,000 lead pipes supplying water to homes in the city, and the vast majority were not tested as part of the program.
The Guardian worked with water engineer Elin Betanzo - who helped uncover the Flint water crisis that resulted in many, mostly Black residents being poisoned by lead in the Michigan city - to review the results of water tests conducted for Chicago residents between 2016 and 2021.
Construction on West Armitage Avenue in Chicago, IL on August 29, 2022. On Chicago’s Northside the ongoing and laborious job of replacing lead service lines has been going on for years on West Armitage Avenue on the border of Logan Square and Humboldt Park.

Experts and locals say these results raise broader concerns, because there are an estimated 400,000 lead pipes supplying water to homes in the city, and the vast majority were not tested as part of the program.
The Guardian worked with water engineer Elin Betanzo - who helped uncover the Flint water crisis that resulted in many, mostly Black residents being poisoned by lead in the Michigan city - to review the results of water tests conducted for Chicago residents between 2016 and 2021.

Revealed: the 'shocking' levels of toxic lead in Chicago tap water
Tests performed for thousands of Chicago residents found lead, a neurotoxic metal, in amounts far exceeding the federal standards.
One in 20 tap water tests performed for thousands of Chicago residents found lead, a neurotoxic metal, at or above US government limits, according to a Guardian analysis of a City of Chicago data trove.
And one-third had more lead than is permitted in bottled water.
This means that out of the 24,000 tests, approximately 1,000 homes had lead exceeding federal standards. Experts and locals say these results raise broader concerns, because there are an estimated 400,000 lead pipes supplying water to homes in the city, and the vast majority were not tested as part of the program.
