Good afternoon Chuck,

 

Thank you for following up. The area was initially inspected on October 8^th, and since then, our team has continued to monitor the location. We have listened for a leak multiple times at the surrounding valves and services but had not detected any indication of one. Because we were not hearing a leak, there was nothing at that point to warrant excavating the area.

 

Our inspector returned again today. While he still could not hear a leak, there was enough water for him to collect a water sample. Testing detected fluoride in the sample, which may indicate that the water is coming from our system. I do want to note that ground water can have naturally occurring fluoride however based on that result, we will investigate further to identify the source and determine the appropriate next steps.

 

I will keep the group updated as we continue to investigate this. Thank you for making sure this stayed on our radar.

 

Sincerely,

Ginney
