(CNN)The levels of lead in Flint, Michigan's water tested below the federal limit in a recent six-month study, the state department that oversees water quality announced Tuesday.
The study, for the period beginning July 1 and ending December 31, found levels of lead were 12 parts per billion or lower in 90% of the samples taken, significantly lower than the action level of 15 ppb, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality said.
"The remarkable improvement in water quality over the past year is a testament to all levels of government working together and the resilient people of Flint helping us help them," said Gov. Rick Snyder. "There is still more work to do in Flint, and I remain committed to helping the residents recover and restore their city."
In December, Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette announced felony charges against four officials for their role in the water crisis, bringing the number of current and former government employees held responsible to 13.
Among the four charged late last year were two former Flint emergency managers who were appointed by Snyder. They are the highest-level officials to be charged so far.
