HOLLIDAYSBURG, Pa. (WJAC) -- The Hollidaysburg Public Works Department collects around 20 water from homes in the borough every three years. Several samples collected last year brought back some high numbers.
“I’ve been here 19 years and we’ve never had high lead levels in any of our water systems, so I was a little surprise to us,” said Rick Pope, Hollidaysburg Borough director of public works.
Pope said three water samples, taken in the third quarter of 2019, showed high amounts of lead.
