At 10 percent, EPA guidelines require WASA to replace 7 percent of lead service lines a year and inform the public of the problem. But according to information provided yesterday by Bhat, WASA received warning of lead problems the year before. Water in at least seven of 50 District houses tested from Ju- ly 2000 to June 2001 had lead levels that exceeded the EPA standard, records show. But before submitting a final report to the EPA, WASA invalidated some of the results and retested the houses. The new results showed four houses exceeding the federal lead limit, and WASA was no longer in violation of the EPA’s 10 percent standard. Marcotte said he was not aware that seven homes had failed the first round of 2000-01 tests. “I was provided a report signed by her and her boss and forwarded it” to the EPA, Marcotte said. “I have to assume the actions that Ms. Bhat took were correct in that manner.” Call over 30countries across Europe, Latin America and Asia Bhat said George Rizzo, who monitors WASA for the mid-Atlantic with the lowest international rates in the industry. office of the EPA, told her that in some cases the EPA does allow juris- Calling around the world is affordable and easy with Enhanced dictions to invalidate samples.

In any case, Olson added, the District’s results from 2000- 001 “should have slapped [WASA] in the face.” Bhat said she told Boateng in 2001 that “we were lucky,” a reference to WASA’s narrowly avoiding the EPA action level of 10 percent. The next year, WASA tested 53 homes.

LEAD, From A1 billion, seven times the maximum level under federal guidelines. “I’m frustrated with this, but life goes on. It’s every man for himself.” After the problems were first publicized in late January, WASA officials said the contamination was confined to homes with lead service lines—about 23,000 in all. But then some homes with copper service lines showed elevated lead levels, indicating a broader problem. City and federal officials last week said new rounds of testing would aim to develop a fuller picture of contamination problems throughout the city, not just in those homes believed to be served by lead lines. In some neighborhoods, the problems have caused people to alter their routines and have spurred regular community meetings of residents struggling to keep up-to- date with the evolving issue.
