Officials warn residents about water-testing scams
Tuesday, March 09, 2010

CITRUS COUNTY, FLA. — The Citrus County Utilities Division has warned residents to be aware of water-testing marketing scams, the Citrus Daily reported.

According to customer complaints, at least two companies are sending out notices claiming that their water is contaminated and should be tested within 72 hours, the article stated.

A similar warning was issued last summer, according to the story.

“Once again, don’t fall for it,” reiterated Citrus County Water Resources Director Robert Knight. “Anyone who has reason to suspect their water supply is contaminated should contact their local water supply officials,” he said.

Officials urged residents who have problems with hardness, iron, clarity or color to contact a reputable local company with a good history of doing business in the county, the report stated.
