Survey on Copper Pipe Pin Hole Leaks

Please complete the survey

The City of Miramar values our residents and is aware of your concerns regarding copper pipe issues. The City engaged the services of two independent firms that specialize in water treatment technology and corrosion control. The finding from each independent firm is that the City of Miramar remains compliant with the provisions of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), including the lead and copper rule (LCR), a Federal law that protects the public health by minimizing lead (Pb) and copper (Cu) levels in drinking water, primarily by reducing water corrosivity.

Please visit miramarfl.gov/copperpipepinholeleaks to read the presentations from the independent experts.

The City continues to monitor our water quality to ensure continued compliance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), Florida Department of Health, and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). We care about our residents and welcome your feedback on how we can help you through this difficult time.
