Students may have been taking in nearly 10 times the acceptable level of chloroform by drinking contaminated water at Hope Elementary School in Carlsbad.
Parents speak out on frustrations about the delayed response from the city on addressing the contaminated water. NBC 7's Melissa Adan has more.
A pediatric consultant for Carlsbad Unified said the hazardous chemicals present while the water was contaminated would no longer show up in tests of the students."It doesn’t look like it something the body would not have expelled," Dr. Howard Taras told parents. But that did little to ease parents' frustrations.
The district said the drinking water has been safe since it fixed the pipes, but many wonder if the same thing could ever happen again.
