Residents received notices that our drinking water exceeds the allowed levels of radon. The City says that the heightened levels of radioactive contamination in the water pose no immediate health risk. The letters do say that radon causes cancer and those with weaker immune systems, pregnant, the elderly and children should seek a doctors advice if the water is safe for them. In Council Meetings the BA reported that the city estimates that it will cost 144 million to address the program. In past years the city has cut back testing of water, while at the same time water rate increases have occurred. Residents asked why we would continue with the same water management when their has been a decline in the water quality.
