The Pine Grove Community Services District in Pine Grove has been
notified by the CA Dept of Health that four of their latest test results showed
increased levels of lead in the water. The routine testing
required by the state indicated that 4 of the Pine Grove area customers had
lead levels above state approved level standards. These tests are annual and have been conducted by the
same Community Service District customers at their own homes for many years.
The customers are asked to let their water supply sit undisturbed for 12 hours
and then fill a one quart container with water and return it to the district
for forwarding to the state.
According to Community Service District personnel there will be a
retest of the water locations and once those results are known the Community
