Craig Water is doing work to identify all unknown water service in public water systems to reduce or eliminate lead. It’s required by state and federal government. There are 142 areas that will involve hydro excavating, or potholing, to get a sample of these unknown water lines. Craig Water and Wastewater Director Carl Rays says residents who will be affected will get a door hanger on their door.
“We will be determining water service materials. We ask that you please follow the door hanger instructions to keep vehicles out of the area while we are performing the work.”
