Ramona water district reports community’s water system is lead-free
The Ramona Municipal Water District has announced that the community’s water system does not contain lead after an inventory of service lines. The water district reviewed the service lines to determine the material of those lines and fittings in response to federal regulations aimed at protecting communities from lead exposure, the agency announced Dec. 20. As part of compliance requirements with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Revised Lead and Copper Rule, the water district has been conducting an inventory of underground water service lines that connect the water main lines to plumbing in homes and businesses. “None of the district’s water main lines contain lead,” the water district said in a statement.
