Wayne County Conducts Distribution for Garden City Lead Water Response
Because children and fetuses are most at risk of harm to their health from lead, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) recommends the use of water filters in any residence served by the Garden City Department of Public Works that is home to a child or a pregnant woman. If a household has a child or pregnant woman and receives WIC benefits, Medicaid insurance, or cannot afford a water filter, they can receive a free one (filters cost about $35, and their replacement cartridges cost about $15.)
The Wayne County Public Health Division will be distributing filters at Maplewood Community Center located at 31735 Maplewood from Wednesday, October 16 to Friday, October 18 between 2 PM and 6 PM to those who are eligible.
