ANNUAL WATER QUALITY REPORT |

More About Lead and Copper Testing: Infants and young children are typically more vulnerable to lead in drinking water than the general population. It is possible that lead levels at your home may be higher than at other homes in the community as a result of materials used in your home's plumbing. If you are concerned about elevated lead levels in your home's water, you may wish to have your water tested. Additionally, you may wish to flush your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using tap water.Never consume hot water from the tap. Additional information is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). |
