Have Questions About Newark Water? City Hosting Town Hall Oct. 2

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka will take part in a town hall at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center next month to discuss the city's ongoing efforts to deal with lead contamination in the city water supply. 

Workers replace water lines containing lead in Newark. The city has launched an ambitious plan to replace 18,000 lines within three years at no cost to homeowners or landlords.
