San Luis residents have one less thing to worry about when it comes to their drinking water. A thorough inspection has cleared the City of San Luis' water system of any lead service lines, ensuring that residents have access to cleaner, safer water. The San Luis Water Division, in a diligent endeavor that aligns with the EPA's, tightened Lead and Copper Rule Revisions, wrapped up an extensive sweep of the city's water service infrastructure, finding it lead-free, the City of San Luis announced with understandable pride.
In adherence with the EPA guidelines, which have become a clarion call for cities to reevaluate their water systems, the City of San Luis Public Works Department began its mission this past June to inspect all water service lines, focusing primarily on those installed pre-1986. Given the historical context that this year, Congressional action significantly reduced the permissible use of lead in water pipes, Eulogio Vera, Public Works Director, stated proudly "This initiative not only strengthens our operational capabilities but also underlines our dedication to providing the best quality of services to our residents" and ensures residents receive water they can trust, as stated by the City of San Luis.
With the help of WestLand Engineering & Environmental Services, the San Luis Water Division left no stone unturned in their city-wide investigation. Notably, the inventory covered an impressive 8,952 water service lines, a massive undertaking by any standard and a testament to the city's commitment to public health and safety. For those looking to drink in more information about the inspection and its findings, the City of San Luis Public Affairs Office is open for inquiries.
