Water testing information available
FLOYD - In accordance with a federal program to minimize lead levels in drinking water by January 1, 2002, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Floyd County Public Service Authority advise residents to have their drinking water tested.
Testing the water to determine if it contains excessive concentrations of lead is essential because lead cannot be seen, tasted or smelled.
Call the Floyd County Public Service Authority at 745-4444 for information about the local waterworks and for a list of certified local laboratories which test water quality.
