Lead Copper Survey Information
** Attention Residents**
The North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality (NDDEQ) has recently been tasked by the Environmental Protection Agency to perform an inventory of all water service lines in North Dakota. A water service line is the small pipe that comes under the foundation and delivers drinking water into your home. It is mandatory that all cities and water systems in North Dakota participate in this inventory.
The City of Cando has partnered with NDDEQ and Moore Engineering, Inc. to complete this inventory. In the coming weeks, you will receive a postcard from Moore Engineering in the mail to complete a survey. The survey can be accessed by scanning the QR code included on the postcard or at www.ndwaterpipes.com.
If you have limitations that may prevent you from participating in the survey, please consider having a neighbor, friend, family member or call the City Office at 701-968-3632 to assist you with completing the survey. If you have any other questions on the survey, please do not hesitate to call 701-751-8363.
