CORRECTION TO RADON TESTING INFORMATION PROVIDED IN JUNE 2024 NEWSLETTER
CORRECTION TO INFORMATION IN THE JUNE NEWSLETTER REGARDING RADON TESTING:
The Oregon Health Authority’s (OHA) Radon Awareness Program provides free short-term radon test kits to those living in areas of Oregon where little radon testing has been done. The City of Banks has met the requirement for minimum number of residences tested and therefore residents of the City of Banks are not eligible for free test kits from OHA. However, testing shows that the City of Banks has a radon risk of “High,” and OHA recommends all homes test for radon. Radon test kits can be purchased for around $15-25 at local hardware stores or online, and Nonprofit Home Inspections offers free radon test kits to those that qualify as low/moderate income.
