Dear Customers,

We are pleased to inform you that after completing a thorough statistical analysis of our water system’s service lines, we have determined that there are no lead service lines (LSLs) within our system. This conclusion was reached through an in-depth evaluation of available records, including construction dates, materials used, and verified inspections of service line connections.

As a result, we can confidently state that our water system is free from lead service lines, ensuring the continued safety and quality of your drinking water. For further information or to learn more about the analysis conducted, please feel free to contact us.

Thank you for your trust in our services.
