Less than a week after test results detected arsenic in the water at the Lower East Side’s Jacob Riis Houses, the latest water samples taken from the location came back negative for the toxin, the Adams administration announced Tuesday.

Mayor’s office spokesperson Charles Lutvak said in a statement that “all original water delivery points that were previously though to test positive for arsenic have been retested and have now been found to be negative.” The city also tested 140 additional sites around the campus, and the results for 58 of the tests also came back poison-free.
