City of Newman Water Department

The City of Newman’s water is supplied coming from four deep floor water wells. These types of wells are managed and maintained simply by certified operators. The City’s water supply is usually disinfected using chlorine in the form of Sodium Hypochlorite at an average chlorine residual of zero. 4 mg/l (parts per million). These types of wells are the just source of supply offered at present. To ensure your water is usually consistently safe, drinking water samples are used on a weekly most basic. Samples are sucked from numerous locations through the water distribution program and also directly from the wellhead before chlorination. Our certified providers, and Geo Synthetic laboratories, a contract condition certified water top quality laboratory test sample both inhouse and the lab. These assessments verify that our hydrant continues to meet or exceed drinking water quality standards structured on state and federal regulatory companies. The sources of water (both tap water and bottled water) consist of rivers, lakes, channels, ponds, reservoirs, suspension springs and wells. While water travels within the surface of the property or through the floor, it dissolves natural minerals and, in some instances, radioactive material, and may pick up substances caused by the presence of animals or perhaps from human activity. Pollutants that may be present in resource water include: · Microbial contaminants, including viruses and bacterias, which may come from sewerage treatment plants, solid waste systems, agricultural animal operations, and animals. · Inorganic pollutants, such as salts and metals, which can be natural or result from city runoff, industrial or perhaps domestic wastewater secretions, oil and gas production, exploration or farming. · Pesticides and herbicides, which might come from a variety of places such as agriculture, city stormwater runoff, and septic systems. · Organic chemical pollutants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemical substances that are by-products of business processes and petroleum production, and can likewise come from gas stations, city stormwater runoff, farming application, and solid waste systems. · Radioactive contaminants, which can be natural or be the consequence of oil and gas production and mining activities. To be able to ensure that tap water is secure to drink, United States Epa (USEPA) and the Condition Water Resources Control Board (State Board) prescribe regulations that limit the number of particular contaminants in drinking water provided by public drinking water systems. State Table regulations also set up limits for pollutants in bottled water which usually must provide the same protections for public well-being. Also, 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 phoning the USEPA’s A safe drinking water supply Hotline (800-426-4791). http://www.epa. gov/dwstandardsregulations/drinking water-standards-and-health-advisory-tables An evaluation of the drinking water resources for Newman Drinking water Department was finished in February of 2001. The resources are considered the most susceptible to the following activities: dried out cleaners, gas stations, recreational areas and storm drain discharge. A copy from the completed assessment exists at the Newman Town Hall, 938 Clovis St ., Newman, CALIFORNIA 95360 or in the State Water Assets Control Board, Label of Drinking Water, 31 Electronic. Channel Street, Space 270, Stockton, CALIFORNIA 95202. You may demand a copy of the evaluation be sent to you by contacting the Newman Water Dept.
