the water in Genesee is unsafe for infants because of high nitrate levels.
A post on the City of Genesee’s website states the high levels of nitrates in the community’s water system is a serious health concern for children under 6 months old. The water cannot be boiled to make it safe for infants. The water in Genesee is safe for adults and children over 6 months old. The issue is being caused by Genesee’s water system only operating on one well since October. A new well should be finished next week. Genesee had this same water issue two years ago.
