Gwinnett County Government has issued a warning after the county's Water Resources department received reports of a person claiming to work for a Gwinnett Count lab attempting to enter homes.
According to a press release from the county, the imposter attempts to gain access to homes by offering to collect free lead and copper samples.
"Residents should be aware that the County does not send employees to test water inside residents’ homes," the release reads.
Most of the failed attempts have targeted Spanish-speaking families in the Norcross area.
If anyone claiming to be a Gwinnett County employee asks to take water samples from inside your home, do not let them in. If you feel unsafe or if someone is trying to break into your home, call 911.
Residents may call Water Resources' 24-hour dispatch at (678) 376-7000 with questions or concerns.
