William F. Parrish of the state Division of Water Supply warned White Rock residents that if Lake Springs Water Co. does not fix the lead problem, attorneys will sue owner William Brosius. Initial tests on April 30 showed high lead and pH 6.0, with later July samples ranging 6.5 to 6.8 while EPA limits may soon be halved. Brosius contends state tests are flawed and his Lancaster Labs results show compliant pH levels. The EPA is preparing stricter lead drinking water standards.
