When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead <br />exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are <br />concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, <br />testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at <br />http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. <br />Monitoring may have been done for additional contaminants that do not have MCLS established for them and are not <br />required to be monitored under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Results may be available by calling 651-201-4700 or 1-800- <br />818-9318 during normal business hours. <br />Monitoring for unregulated contaminants as required by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rules (40 CFR 141.40) <br />was conducted in 2014. Results of the unregulated contaminant monitoring are available upon request from Cindy <br />Swanson, Minnesota Department of Health, at 651/201-4656. <br />Compliance with National Primary Drinking Water Regulations <br />3 <br />
