We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants. Test results for 7/1/2022 and 9/30/2022 show that our system exceeds the standard or maximum contaminant level (MCL) for Haloacetic Acids.
The average level of Haloacetic Acids over the last four quarters was 63.23µ?L at DEEP WATER TANK location. The standard for Haloacetic Acids is 60.0µg/L.
What should I do?
You do not need to use an alternative (e.g. bottled) water supply. However, if you have specific health concerns, it is recommended that you consult with your doctor.
What does this mean?
This is not an immediate risk. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately. However, some people who drink water containing Haloacetic acids in excess of the MCL over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer.
