The EPA didn't ensure that states submitted accurate estimates of the number of lead pipes they had. Big problems were found in data submitted by Florida and Texas.

Florida has emerged as the state with the most lead service lines in the nation with 1,159,300, according to survey results recently released by the Environmental Protection Agency.

The county issued an air pollution precaution and is recommending residents avoid prolonged outdoor activities near the Gopher Resources plant.
