IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
Lead Treatment Technique Requirements Not Met
Our water system recently violated a drinking water requirement. Although this incident was not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what we have done to correct this situation.
Failure to meet minimum treatment requirements for lead has the potential to increase your exposure to lead. We did not complete the following requirement(s):
Requirement(s) not met: We did not report by the required date that there are no lead and copper violations within the City of Huntington as determined by state mandated testing.
Period(s) of Non-Compliance: October 2024
There is no safe level of lead in drinking water. Exposure to lead in drinking water can cause serious health effects in all age groups, especially pregnant people, infants (both formula-fed and breastfed), and young children. Some of the health effects to infants and children include decreases in IQ and attention span. Lead exposure can also result in new or worsened learning and behavior problems. The children of persons who are exposed to lead before or during pregnancy may be at increased risk of these harmful health effects. Adults have increased risks of heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney or nervous system problems. Contact your health care provider for more information about your risks.
What should I do?
There is nothing you need to do at this time. You may continue to drink the water. We will notify you within 24 hours if a situation arises where the water is no longer safe to drink.
What is being done?
The City of Huntington reported to the state the results of testing as performed and completed by Performance Services and has been notified test results have been received and there are no violations regarding the testing.
Expected completion date for the corrective action: April 25, 2025
