Surfside HOA, Ocean Park, WA

There are really two problems here. Surfside’s drinking water is in danger. The pipes that deliver the drinking water are made of asbestos and cement. The cement is dissolving. This cause several problems. The pipes are getting weaker and breaking, dirt and potential hazardous debris getting into the lines, cost of repairs, but also, asbestos is running down the lines and into your faucets. Some have said that drinking asbestos is not dangerous, only breathing it is harmful. We find that hard to believe. I don’t like the idea of drinking asbestos. Surfside is in the process of replacing the pipe, a certain amount each year, but we are getting more and more breaks, and each foot is costing more to replace each year.

What would you suggest we should do from here?
