City of Anna

The City of Ould - is pleased to discuss this water top quality report with you. This describes to you, the customer, the quality of the drinking water. The City of Anna meets or exceeds Tx Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) regulations intended for drinking water. If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health issues, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is mainly from materials and components associated with support lines and house plumbing. We are accountable for providing high quality water, but we 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 flushing your touch for 30 seconds to 2 minutes prior to using water intended for drinking or cooking food. If you are concerned about business lead 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 exists from the Safe Drinking Water Servicenummer or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. Sources of Drinking Water The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include streams, lakes, streams, fish ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As drinking water travels over the surface area of the land or perhaps through the ground, this dissolves naturally-occurring nutrients and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick-up substances resulting from the existence of animals or coming from human activity. Drinking water, which includes bottled water, may fairly be expected to consist of at least a small amount of some pollutants. The presence of contaminants will not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More info about contaminants and potential health results can be obtained by getting in touch with the EPAs A safe drinking water supply Hotline at (800) 426-4791. The City of Anna gets the water from a mix of ground (approximately 60%) and surface (approximately 40%) water resources. The ground water originates from seven deep drinking water wells owned and operated by the Associated with Anna. The cured surface water is usually purchased from Higher Texoma Utility Expert (GTUA) through a on your agreement with North Texas Municipal Drinking water District (NTMWD). The NTMWD relies on surface area water from Lavon Lake, Lake Texoma, Lake Tawakoni and Jim Chapman Pond (Cooper Lake). The water is cured through sedimentation, purification, and disinfection to lessen or remove dangerous contaminants that may be within your drinking water. Pollutants Contaminants that may be within source water consist of: - Microbial pollutants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may originate from sewage treatment plant life, septic systems, farming livestock operations, and wildlife. - Inorganic contaminants, such as debris and metals, which may be naturally-occurring or derive from urban storm drinking water runoff, industrial or perhaps domestic wastewater secretions, oil and gas production, exploration, or farming. -- Pesticides and herbicides, which might come from a variety of resources such as agriculture, city storm water runoff, and residential uses. - Organic chemical substance contaminants, including man made and volatile organic and natural chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and may also come from gasoline stations, urban storm drinking water runoff, and solid waste systems. - Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the consequence of oil and gas production and mining activities. To be able to ensure that tap water is secure to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain pollutants in water given by public water devices. FDA regulations set up limits for pollutants in bottled water which usually must provide the equal protection for public well-being. Contaminants may be present in drinking water that may trigger taste, color, or perhaps odor problems. These kinds of problems are not necessarily triggers for health concerns. To find out more on taste, smell, or color of water, please contact Troy Hopkins at (972) 924-4510. Information about Resource Water Assessments The TCEQ completed a great assessment of your supply water and outcomes indicate that a few of your sources are vunerable to certain contaminants. The sampling requirements to your water system depend on this susceptibility and former sample data. Any kind of detections of these pollutants may be found in this kind of Consumer Confidence Statement.
