Former North Carolina Employee Accused of Falsifying Water Tests
CARY, N.C. (AP) — A former Cary employee has pleaded guilty after an investigation revealed that he falsified documents on more than 275 water sample tests.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a statement that 41-year-old Christopher Dale Miller of Cary pleaded guilty Monday to making false statements about the sampling required under the Safe Drinking Water Act.
The town said Miller was a water system technician for 13 years in Cary. He was responsible for collecting water samples for testing from the drinking water system as well as testing in the field for residual chlorine. He also was responsible for gathering samples from various locations.
Investigators determined Miller obtained samples from only a few locations between August and December 2014.
Town officials say their water is safe.
Miller’s sentencing is Dec. 12.
