 A PH water level between 6.5 and 8.5 is typically required for culinary water.  The state is completing tests today to determine if the North Fork tank is maintaining these levels.  PH levels can impact homes that have Lead or Copper piping.  Most Lead piping was banned in Utah in 1986.  LPC does not have Lead or Copper piping in any of their main lines.  As soon as the tests are complete you will be updated on the status.  This testing is the result of the North Fork tank issues recently experienced.

 Update:  The issue has been resolved.   The North Fork tank is draining rapidly due to a leak.  Repair crews are working to isolate the leak.  Until further notice, please limit your water use.
