Campbellsville Municipal Water

Our source drinking water comes from the Green Water Reservoir located in the southern part of Taylor County. The intake is located on Smith Ridge by the end of West Main Road. When necessary our company is also able to make use of water on a temporary emergency basis from your City Lake situated on Lebanon Avenue throughout the water treatment plant. Both Green River Reservoir and City Lake will be surfàce water resources. This is a summary of the s¡, 5¡s¡¡'5 susceptibility or contamination: the industry part of the completed Resource Water Plan (SWAP). The completed strategy is available for inspection at our ofüce located at We l0 South Columbia Avenue. An evaluation of the overall susceptibility to contamination from the water supply indicated this susceptibility is generally low. Within the crucial protectionareaoftheGreenRiverReservoirintaketherearefourpotential sources of contamination thatarerankedhigh, onerankedmediumandnone ranked low. Areas of concern consist of row cropping highways and a variety of forestland, hay fields and pasture land which may represent a long-lasting threat to air pollution susceptibility of this water source. Within the critical protection part of the City Reservoir consumption there are fifteen potential sources of contamination which can be ranked high, 10 ranked medium and {non-e} ranked low. Areas of concern consist of bridges and culverts, row crops, subterranean storage tanks, KPDES permitted discharges and waste generators or perhaps transporters. The location of Green River Tank water intake and remote control area of the watershed associated with routine {nonpoint} poison sources of low matter. The City Reservoir consumption is more susceptible to temporary hazards due to limited water flow and lots of contaminant sources. Nevertheless, the water system effect is limited due to the extra withdrawal nature of the location. Drinking water, which includes bottled ìilater, might reasonably be expected to contain at a minimum of small amounts of several contaminants. The presence of pollutants does not necessarily show that water positions â health risk More information about pollutants and potential wellness effects may be acquired by calling environmentally friendly Protection Agency's A safe drinking water supply Hotline (8004264791). The sources of drinking drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) consist of rivers, lakes, channels, ponds. reservoirs, suspension springs, and wells. Because the water travels within the surface of the property or through the floor, it dissolves normally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive materials. and may pick up chemicals resulting from the presence of pets or liveliness. Contaminants that may be within source water consist of Microbial contaminants. including viruses and bacterias (sewage plants, solid waste systems, livestock procedures, or wildlife). Inorganic contaminants, such as debris and metals, (naturally occurring or coming from stormwater runoff, sewage discharges, oil and gas creation, mining or farming). Pesticides and herbicides, (stormwater runoff, agriculture or perhaps residential uses). Organic and natural chemical contaminants, which include synthetic and risky organic chemicals, (by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production. or perhaps from gas stations. stormwater runoff or solid waste systems). Radioactive pollutants, (naturally occurring or perhaps from oil and gas creation or mining activities). To ensure that panel water is safe to imbibe, EPA prescribes rules that limit the number of certain contaminants in water provided by general public water systems. FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION regulations establish limitations for contaminants in bottled water to provide similar protection for public well-being. if present, elevated amounts of oflead can cause severe health problems, especially for women that are pregnant and young children. Business lead in drinking water is usually primarily from components and components connected with service lines and home plumbing. The local public water strategy is responsible for providing top quality drinking water, but are not able to control the variety of components used in plumbing parts. When your water continues to be sitting for several several hours, you can minimize the opportunity of lead exposure simply by tìushing your faucet for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water intended for drinking or cooking food. if you are concerned about business leaders in your water, you might wish to have your drinking water tested. Information on business lead in drinking water, screening methods, and actions you can take to minimize exposure exist from the Safè Drinking Water Hotline (l-800-426-4791 ) or in http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead..
