Gayland and Mill Road residents to get water test kits

Residents of the Gayland and Mill Road subdivisions will soon be receiving water sample test kits at their front door from city employees, as part of testing required by regulations of the state Division of Water. The city is required to sample for lead and copper sample in DOW-designated parts of the city every three years, Mayor Grayson Vandegrift said.

"We ask that residents in these areas follow the instructions in the kit and place them back on their front stoop for our employees to collect and send off to the lab," the mayor said. "We ask citizens in this area to complete their sample as soon as possible so we can return our results as quickly as possible to the Division of Water."
