Poughkeepsie Launches Educational Initiative on Lead Service Lines

Poughkeepsie Launches Educational Initiative on Lead Service Lines

POUGHKEEPSIE – The city has initiated an educational campaign aimed at informing residents living in buildings with lead service lines about the potential risks associated with their water supply. Residents have started receiving informative letters detailing the presence of lead service lines that connect to their tap water.

It is important to note that the existence of a lead service line does not necessarily indicate that the water flowing through these pipes has elevated lead levels. However, the city emphasizes the importance of awareness and education regarding lead exposure, as it can pose serious health risks, particularly to young children and pregnant women.

The letters provide crucial information on how residents can test their water and what steps can be taken to mitigate any potential risks. The city encourages all residents to read the materials carefully and take appropriate actions to ensure the safety of their drinking water. This initiative reflects the city's commitment to public health and safety in the community.
