• Littlestown officials say water is safe amid potentially deadly nitrate scare for infants (local21news.com) — Littlestown officials say borough tap water remains safe for most residents after a state warning flagged dangerously high nitrate levels in one well that could harm infants under six months. That well has been taken offline while more tests are done, and parents are advised they may keep using bottled water for babies as a precaution. The school district even adjusted its lunch menu in response to community concerns.
