Subject: New Jersey Open Public Records Act Request: Newark, water supplies

Email


To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

Recent media reports state that the city of Newark is being sued for providing unsafe drinking water with high levels of lead (https://www.app.com/story/news/health/2018/04/24/newark-nj-lead-poisoning-water/546559002/).

Therefore, I request all reports, evaluations, test results, proposed testing, and related materials regarding water supplies and usage in Newark, New Jersey, created since January 1, 2017. Please conduct keyword searches for "lead," "poison," and "heavy metal."

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes. It will be used in the course of reporting for Motherboard, VICE’s science and technology website (www.motherboard.vice.com).

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 7 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Caroline Haskins
