Montgomery County Environmental Services communications coordinator Brianna Wooten said the water is safe to drink.
Your water is safe to drink.” said Wooten.
The county said certain P-H levels can be a sign of potential contamination, particularly involving lead or copper.
“It could be an indicator for if there are some other issues in the system,” added Wooten.
“It’s important to know we do not have any issues in our system with lead and copper or PH.” This notice was a matter of getting on the same page with the Ohio EPA determining PH values.
Environmental services said PH values can fluctuate.
“It varies throughout the system and actually varies what Dayton provides to us because they are a water provider,” added Wooten.
However, some Montgomery county residents didn’t think twice about the notice because they still don’t trust the water.
I don’t drink the water anyway.
“There’s nothing wrong with the PH levels currently in the water, nothing wrong with the testing right now,” said Wooten.
