BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS:
ACADEMY WATER AND SANITATION DISTRICT
In response to questions regarding radium in the Donala water and whether Academy Water and Sanitation District customers should have concerns:
- Our District tests the water for radium every 3 years. The last test was in 2019 and we will test again next year.
- Tests have indicated we do not have a significant level of radium in our water.
- The Academy deep well is drawn from the Denver aquifer, which is a replenish-able water source. This helps us not have the radium issue the other districts are seeing.
- The results of the Academy test for radium are at /sites/academywsd/files/2020%20Drinking%20Water%20Quality%20Report.pdf and /sites/academywsd/files/Radium%20Samples.pdf

CURB STOP LOCATIONS
The curb stop is the valve buried underground that allows water service to be shut off between the main supply line and your house. The District engaged a contractor to locate those that we did not have documented. There are approximately 34 still unlocated (in most cases under paved driveways). The District plans, at District expense, to coordinate with those homeowners and reinstall new curb stops (a few every year) at those locations over the next several years.
