North Dakota officials asking residents to check if properties use lead water pipes in five minute survey

(Bismarck, ND) -- The North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality is looking to replace lead pipes across the state, and are asking for your involvement.

They are asking you to complete a five minute survey involving a coin, magnet, and cell phone, to determine what kind of pipes are being used on your property.

Drinking water from lead pipes have the potential to cause hearing loss, abdominal pain, slowed growth, anemia, weight loss, and more.
