Stafford Utilities will start sampling homes for lead at the tap in homes built before 1987. There is no lead in our water system. This sampling tests for lead in the home. This effort is to comply with the 1991 EPA lead and copper rule that requires all public drinking systems to regularly test a sample of homes for lead. Utilities is looking for 100 volunteers to give samples.
If you would like to volunteer to have your water tested, please contact Janet Spencer, Utilities Department Deputy Director, at (540) 658-8620, or by email at [email protected].
