Question: If you fail “lead safe” does this get reported to the public health department?

 

Answer:   There is no reporting (or penalty) if you fail the “lead safe” test.  We only issue reports directly to our customers, not the Public Health Department.  Once the failed area is remediated, we will reissue the EPA results (passing) and the lead safe certification.

 


And just a reminder, the next set of ZIP code implementation is upon us per below:

The following are the next set of ZIP codes (Phase 4) that are due starting April 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022
