** FROM THE OFFICE OF MARY KAY SIGATY **
Howard County is alerting county residents of unnecessary drinking water testing being offered by private water treatment companies. Such companies often go door-to-door, first offering free testing and then falsely claiming that the test results indicate that the water is unsafe or otherwise needs to be treated or “purified.” The company then attempts to sell the homeowner water purification or treatment equipment or services that are not necessary.
THIS IS A FRAUDULENT COMPANY.
