Flint Water Crisis Caused By Interrupted Corrosion Control: Investigating “Ground Zero” Home
TL;DR: Forensic evaluation of exhumed service line pipes compared to water contamination "fingerprint" analysis of trace elements revealed that the immediate cause of the high water lead levels was the destabilization of lead-bearing corrosion rust layers that accumulated over decades on a galvanized iron pipe downstream of a lead pipe.

Strategies to Improve Private-Well Water Quality: A North Carolina Perspective
TL;DR: Recommendations from a two-day summit to identify options to improve drinking-water quality for N.C. residents served by private wells could improve the health of North Carolinians facing elevated risks of exposure to waterborne contaminants because of their reliance on inadequately monitored and maintained private wells.
