From the City Manager's Office: On March 13th, the City of Newcastle received a lead exceedance notification from ODEQ. Water samples were taken from 40 residents within the city and sent to the State's testing facility. Results indicated 6 of the 40 samples contained elevated levels of lead. On March 25th, City staff met with ODEQ regarding requirements going forward. The requirements include public education, further notification to specific facilities within the city, increased monitoring, and additional testing of source water and the distribution system. The first round of additional testing has been completed by an independent testing facility as required by ODEQ. The test results do not indicate elevated lead levels in the City's source water or distribution system. Test results and additional information can be viewed in the attached photos. Thank you.
