Your water is clean and contaminant unfastened. However, the subsequent language is required on this report utilizing the EPA: Required Additional Health Information To make certain that tap water is secure to drink, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes limits on the number of certain contaminants in water furnished by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rules set up limits for contaminants in bottled water. Drinking water, such as bottled water, can also moderately be expected to contain as minimum small quantities of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does no longer always indicate that water poses a health risk. More records approximately contaminants and capability fitness results can be obtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). The assets of drinking water (each tap water and bottled water) encompass rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the floor of the land or via the ground, it dissolves occurring minerals and radioactive material and can pick up materials because of the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in supply water consist of A. Microbial contaminants, inclusive of viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage remedy plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. B. Inorganic contaminants, which include salts and metals, which may be certainly going on or result from urban typhoon runoff, business or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gasoline manufacturing, mining, or farming. C. Pesticides and herbicides, which may additionally come from a selection of resources consisting of agriculture, stormwater runoff, and residential makes use of. D. Organic chemical contaminants, consisting of artificial and unstable organics, that are byproducts of commercial tactics and petroleum production, and can also come from fuel stations, city stormwater run-off, and septic structures. E. Radioactive contaminants, which may be certainly happening or be the result of oil and gas manufacturing and mining activities. To make sure that faucet water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes rules which limit the number of positive contaminants in water supplied through public water systems. FDA rules establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which should offer equal protection for public fitness. Some human beings may be greater susceptible to contaminants in bottled water than is the overall populace. Immune-compromised people along with people with cancer present process chemotherapy, individuals who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune device problems, a few elderly, and babies can be specifically at danger from infections. These human beings ought to seek recommendations approximately drinking water from their fitness care vendors. EPA/CDC recommendations on a suitable approach to reduce the hazard of contamination with the aid of Cryptosporidium are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). Information on Lead If a gift, elevated levels of lead can purpose critical health troubles, in particular for pregnant women and young kids. Lead in consuming water is usually from substances and components associated with carrier lines and home plumbing. The City of Keizer is chargeable for offering high satisfactory drinking water, but can not control the kind of materials utilized in plumbing additives. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you could minimize the ability for lead publicity by using flushing your tap for 30 seconds to two mins before using water for drinking or cooking. If you're concerned about lead in your water, you may desire to have your water tested. Information on lead in consuming water, trying out methods, and steps you can take to limit exposure is to be had from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline, 800-426-4791 or at http://www.Epa.

In 2017 a total of 524 bacteria samples had been accrued from the distribution device and 1 examined effective for Total Coliform. The Oregon Health Authority, Drinking Water Section and the EPA require that repeat samples be taken at once from the authentic web page that tested advantageous in addition to taps adjacent to that web site. Also, required checking out is completed in any respect water resources (wells in manufacturing) at the time the sample turned into accrued (Triggered Source). All repeat samples alongside all Triggered Source samples were terrible. *2 Nitrates are resulting from runoff from fertilizer use; Leaching from septic tanks, sewage; Erosion of herbal deposits. Of the 15 wells that served Keizer in 2017, 5 had detected ranging from zero.19 to at least one.93 ppm. The MCL is 10 ppm. *three Fluoride is a water additive which promotes robust tooth; erosion of herbal deposits; discharge from fertilizer and aluminum factories. The encouraged dose of fluoride set employing EPA is .70 ppm. (MCL=4ppm) Keizer uses Sodium Fluoride. Ranges discovered in Keizer’s machine were .2 ppm (herbal) to .87 ppm (delivered) *4,*5 Monitoring for tiers of lead and copper leached from household plumbing by way of corrosive water supplies. Systems that exceed “motion degrees” ought to set up corrosion to manage remedy systems. No samples examined passed the motion ranges. Lead and Copper are examined every 3 years. The closing test was finished in 2017. 2017 WATER QUALITY TESTING.
