Zion public works reports lead‑service‑line inventory progress, warns residents about imposters; CPR classes highlighted
Summary
Director Roberts told the council staff are collecting a lead‑service‑line inventory and offered a homeowner QR‑code process to submit photos; staff also warned residents about people impersonating city workers. Chief Street reminded residents the department offers CPR classes, including in Spanish.
Director Roberts updated the Zion City Council on May 7 about several public‑works matters: a small number of streetlights installed incorrectly, progress on a county road project (construction hoped for 2025) and work to inventory lead service lines.
Roberts described a homeowner‑assisted inventory process that uses a flyer with a QR code. Residents can photograph their service line and submit images through the link on the city website; Roberts said staff will assist homeowners who prefer not to do the inspection themselves. "If a resident has any questions on attempting to do this, they can give us a call," Roberts said, and staff will walk them through the procedure.
Roberts also warned the public that the city has received reports of individuals pretending to be city‑design workers attempting to gain access to residents’ homes. He said legitimate city workers will display city identification and arrive in city vehicles; residents who remain unsure should call public works to verify the worker’s identity before allowing access.
Chief Street (police/fire) provided a semi‑annual reminder that the department offers CPR classes at several levels, including sessions offered in Spanish, and noted basic courses typically take about four hours. Registration and information are available on the city website.
Next steps: Public works will continue the lead‑service‑line inventory, provide homeowner guidance materials on the website, and coordinate with police on outreach to prevent imposters from gaining access to homes.
