(Aliquippa, Pa) The Aliquippa Municipal Water Authority performed lead and copper testing at 34 homes in the city. The Water Authority Manager Matt Mottes reported of the 34 homes tested, only 5 had higher than normal levels in the water. Old lines are being replaced and the cost is funded by a grant. Water lines are being replaced in areas where homes were built in the 1940’s or 50’s, according to Mottes. Public Education Material is being sent to all of the authority’s customers to provide additional information regarding lead in drinking water. Anyone with questions or concerns is asked to contact the water authority.
