LPA observed on the report provided by the SWRCB the FAUCET IDENTIFIED (Faucets F & G).
LPA Morris received water testing results taken on 11/20/2024 with an Action Level Exceedance of F: 18.4 PPB and for G: 7.03 PPB, which is higher than the allowable limit. The faucets are located on the outdoor playground area.
