Golden Valley Residents Reminded to Check Water Lines for Lead Pipes
The City of Golden Valley needs residents from its approximately 7,000 homes to report back whether their homes include lead water service lines or not. It’s part of a wide-ranging survey mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency, and every city is taking part.
“Any questions, you can call in and we can walk you through it,” said Water Distribution Specialist Derek Goddard in April. Goddard says he answers dozens of calls some days. “If you need to, you can make an appointment and we can send a utility operator to help you out, check the (service line).”
Residents can scratch the outside of their main water service line to detect if its made of lead or not.
