Details: | I spoke with Jim Oswald who confirmed that the "do not drink" order for City of Prescott was lifted on 10/14 after his discussion with Casey Lyon, DWS. Jim updated me on the system's situation; in addition to the naturally occurring arsenic in the region, Jim says the components of the water system are aging and starting to degrade in performance to a degree. Jim says the system is trying to get grants with the goal of drilling another well, located on a different property that is still owned by City of Prescott, to connect this water system to, as its new main source of water. |
