• 2 Midway homes test positive for elevated lead in water; city says issue likely isolated to aging pipes (wtoc.com) — Two Midway homes have tested above federal action levels for lead in tap water, prompting a citywide advisory and precautionary switch to bottled water in Liberty County schools. City officials believe aging home pipes, not the broader system, are to blame but are awaiting final lab results and promise to alert residents immediately if the problem is more widespread.
