Days after traces of arsenic were discovered, a lab found traces of the bacteria that causes Legionnaires' disease.
Officials say more than 100 tests of the water have been done at the Jacob Riis Houses since Friday, and no traces of arsenic were found.
"Out of an overabundance of cautious, caution, we continue to give water. We're going to do the test to make sure before we tell residents to drink water again that comes from their tap," Mayor Eric Adams said. "They gotta fix it. Because we don't know if we're gonna get sick. We also don't know how long we've had this problem," said Carmen Jones, who has lived in the complex for 49 years.Councilwoman Carlina Rivera spoke with neighbors outside the complex Thursday.
