Elevated Lead Levels Found in Newark Schools’ Drinking Water
The school district, New Jersey’s largest, shut off water fountains in 30 buildings until more tests could be conducted."The department also said lead had not been found in the city’s water supply. “In the vast majority of cases where lead is found in drinking water, it enters through the water delivery system itself when it leaches from either lead pipes, household fixtures containing lead or lead solder,” the department said."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_poisoning
"Humans have been mining and using this heavy metal for thousands of years, poisoning themselves in the process. Although lead poisoning is one of the oldest known work and environmental hazards, the modern understanding of the small amount of lead necessary to cause harm did not come about until the latter half of the 20th century. No safe threshold for lead exposure has been discovered—that is, there is no known sufficiently small amount of lead that will not cause harm to the body."
