After a week-long arsenic contamination scare brought upon by apparently faulty test results, the water inside the Lower East Side's Jacob Riis Houses is again safe to drink, Mayor Eric Adams pronounced Saturday.
It turned out that the week-long arsenic scare was just that, as the Adams administration reported Friday that there was not only no arsenic in the water system, but that the firm responsible for testing water samples on the site had botched the results.
A second firm was brought in by the city to test the original samples as well as others taken from the Riis Houses water system in the week that followed. All tested negative for arsenic, Levy noted. The false positives, as publicly revealed in a Sept. 2 report on The City news site, sparked great alarm among the more than 2,700 Riis Houses residents who were then left no choice but to drink and cook with bottled water for a week while the city investigated the suspected contamination.
