DeKalb County asking residents to look out for possible lead in pipes
DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - A federally-mandated report has found that there are no known lead pipes in DeKalb County's publicly-owned drinking water system.
The report was completed in October as part of a national effort by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to identify and replace all lead pipes in the country in the next 10 years.
DeKalb County property owners have been mailed a letter warning them about the possible use of lead in their private drinking pipes.
Those property owners are being asked to complete a voluntary survey online to inform the county of the type of drinking water pipes they have.
