IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
Exceeded Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for Haloacetic Acids
HAMRICK PSD, WV3304704
Our water system recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this is not an emergency, you, as our customers have the right to know what happened, what you should do, and what we are doing to correct the situation.
We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants. Test results for 4/1/2022 and 6/30/2022 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 94.33 µg/L at #1 LEADMINE BPS location. The standard for Haloacetic Acids is 60.0 µg/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 means?
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.
What happened? What is being done? (Describe corrective action)
The HAAs levels are too high. Third quarter test results from 2021 were elevated. The operators adjusted treatment of the water to help resolve this issue, the first and second quarter samples in 2022 are compliant with health department regulations, but unfortunately the annual average is still slightly over the maximum contaminant level.
For more information, please contact Jason S. Lipscomb at (304) 478-2898 or P.O. Box 228, Hendricks, WV 26271.
Please share this information with all other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public space or distributing copies by hand or mail.
