Free Lead-Reducing Water Kits Available at the ECA Office

If you live in Grand Rapid’s Third Ward, you may have an elevated risk for lead poisoning. Thankfully, the non-profit Healthy Homes Coalition of West Michigan (HHCWM) is here to help. They have received a grant to distribute hundreds of lead-reducing water kits to homes in the Third Ward.

These kits include supplies to remove and clean aerators, educational material, and water pitchers with upgraded filters. These upgraded filters reduce 99% of lead in water, PFAS – which is another huge issue here in West Michigan – cadmium, mercury, microplastics and some pharmaceuticals. The FREE water kits are available for pick up during ECA office hours:

Mondays and Wednesdays from 8 am to 12 pm

Fridays from 8-10 am.

The ECA office is located at 415 Ethel Avenue SE, Grand Rapids 49506.
