Yuba City
Hillcrest video edited to fix error
Supporters of a city proposal to connect Hillcrest residents with surface water have replaced their YouTube video after a factual discrepancy was found.
The previous video said the Hillcrest water system was not in compliance with arsenic standards for 2007. But the water does meet the standards thanks to some temporary fixes by the city.
"We have removed our original YouTube video and replaced it with one that has been slightly edited to ensure accuracy of our information, said a press release. "However, the video still delivers the same message."
The new video can be found by typing "Hillcrest Water" on YouTube or using the link, http://www.youtube.com /watch?v=7Zlk6mDUrV0
