SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — The City of Sioux Falls takes water quality very seriously.
Sioux Falls homeowners and businesses with properties built prior to 1987 will soon be receiving a letter from the City’s Water Purification team to request help identifying the types of pipes they have.
Sioux Falls is participating in a mandatory, nationwide Lead Service Line Inventory.
Lead is a known toxin for humans and animals, and the use of lead pipes and fixtures was banned by Congress in 1986.
This is the latest initiative in a nationwide, decades-long push to identify, remove, and replace lead pipes from drinking water systems.
