Just Found Out Our Service Pipes Are Lead:
“So, we just found out the service pipe coming into our row-home from the street is lead. A plumber we had in to do some maintenance just pointed it out. We bought our house 2.5 years ago, and it was basically a total renovation. The seller even replaced the retaining wall, so I’m baffled as to why they wouldn’t have replaced the service pipe as well. The inspector we had check things out before the purchase also never pointed it out. Since then, we’ve been drinking the water regularly and we’ve had one baby with another on the way. Needless to say, we need to take care of this ASAP.
What I’d like to find out from the PoPville community is what other people’s experience has been with lead pipes, and whether anyone knows if we might have some form of recourse (against the seller, or the inspector). This isn’t going to be a cheap fix, so I don’t want to be left holding the bag if I don’t need to be.
Thanks in advance for any help!”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
