Part of that commitment includes meeting the regulations of the U.S. Environmen- in soil and dust making notable contributions. Children may actually chew paint chips containing lead, or may ingest dirt or dust normal during activities. Lead rarely occurs naturally at high levels in drinking water sources. The major sources of lead in drinking water are pipes and soldered pipe joints which contain lead. The corrosive action of water on distribution systems and residential plumbing systems causes the lead to dissolve (or leach) from these materials and enter the water. Lead is more easily leached into water that is soft andor acidic. However, any water can force leaching, especially water that is hot or that sits in pipes for extended periods of time, such as overnight. In 1991 the EPA set strict, new, nationwide standards aimed at reducing the levels of lead in drinking water. These new standards are just part of the agencys overall strategy to lower exposure to lead from all sources including water, air, lead based paints, soil and dust. B eginning in 1 992 all public water suppliers- - approximately 79,000- - began monitoring for lead at household taps. The Service District must begin monitoring in July of 1993.

The district is preparing to test all of their water supplies for possible lead contamination and needs your help. For a number of years, the U.S.EPAhas been studying the various sources and levels of lead in the environment, and its effects on children and adults. Lead is a common, natural and often useful metal; and is present in the air, in food, in water and soil However, high concentration oflead may pose adverse health effects, depending upon total exposure from all lead sources.

He was starting to breath on his own at this time, Deputy Jensen reported. He then used a baby bulb to clean the infants throat and mouth. At that point, Deputy Jensen recalls that the baby was still not very responsive although breathing on his own. EMTs arrived, and EMT Chuck Ebling began emergency medical treatment. The child was transported to the Emery Medical Center. Later, the child was taken to Castleview Hospital for further care. Sheriff Guymon credits the two deputies with saving the childs life.

He said that the equipment was rusted up, but his son Mark applied lots of grease, and now the gears and wheels turn as smoothly as they did when it was new. The old grader will be part of the demonstration in the Rustic Machinery Show on J uly 29, 30 and 31. Everyone will have the opportunity to stand on the platform and operate the equipment.

In that day I had a remote interest in collecting old stuff, but it certainly was not keen enough to consider trying to salvage this piece of abandoned equipment down in Reeder Canyon. Mr. Seely continued, Finally, after about 30 years, we brought it out. We learned that it belonged to a Mr. Thompson from Ephraim, who had used it in his logging operation. He was glad to have someone get it out and put it to some good use. Being in the Antique Machinery Show is now where it th Previous tests performed by the district on all of their wa- ter sources indicated that lead levels currently fall below the U.S. E.P.A.s new, strict standards. However, one home in Huntington and one home in Ferron exceeded the standard. Both of these homes had been recently constructed and had used copper pipes joined with lead solder. Darrel Leamaster, manager of the Service District, states that our water supplies have several attributes that make high levels of lead unlikely in our drinking water. Our waters are full of minerals, commonly referred to as hardness. Our hardness averages about 280 mg1. This hardness deposits a protective layer of minerals inside the pipes keeping any lead in the pipes or solder away from the water. Our waters are also very low in acidity. The pH of our water generally runs between 7.5 and 8. This means that the water doesnt leach the lead out of the pipes, solder or faucets when it does come in contact with them. The district is offering the opportunity to all of its customers to participate in the lead testing program by serving as a sample test site." Participating is strictly voluntary. If your home is selected as a sample test site, you will be advised of the test results for your home when they become available. Mr . Leamaster indi- (Continued on Page 8A) |
