What are they Drinking on Capitol Hill

Capitol Hill workers have been warned, "Don't drink the water." Tests showed excessive levels of lead in tap water at the Library of Congress. Workers are warned to avoid faucets and drinking fountains. The Architect of the Capitol oversees the Library of Congress and has been conducting tests eversince thousands of DC residences tested positive for high lead levels in their drinking water about a year ago. Ingesting lead can lead to severe mental disorders. So, it might be hard to detect its effects on Capitol Hill. (WashPost)
