Found out my county blocked a water contamination report for 6 months

I was digging through some old county records last week trying to figure out why my well water tasted off. Took me 3 hours on the county website before I found a buried PDF from the health department. Turns out back in February they found high lead levels near the old industrial site on River Road but never published it in the newspaper or online alerts. Has anyone else stumbled on stuff like this from their local government that just sat hidden?

Oh great, nothing says "transparency" like a PDF buried deeper than a body on that River Road site. Guess they figured if no one knows about it, it's not a problem, right?

Hold up, maybe they were just waiting on follow-up tests to avoid causing unnecessary panic over a temporary spike.
