Etowah

The Etowah Drinking water & Sewer Expert is proud to provide our annual drinking water quality report masking all testing among January 1, 2017, and December thirty-one, 2017. The Hightower Water Treatment facility performed more than 70, 500 tests in 2017 to ensure our clients are receiving top quality drinking water. We are devoted to planning and offering excellent drinking water, sewage treatment and to you, our clients and providing for future years of Dawson Region The Etowah Water is the primary supply of surface water intended for the Etowah Drinking water & Sewer Authority’s (the Authority) hydrant. A Source Drinking water Assessment Plan (SWAP) is available in the Authority’s Administrative Office. The Authority is in the last year of the execution of the multi-jurisdictional subsidized watershed protection strategy of the Etowah Pot of the testing and collection of water top quality data. Substances That may be In Tap Water: To make sure that tap water is safe to drink, the U. S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY prescribes regulations restricting the number of certain pollutants in water given by public water devices. The U. H. Food and Drug Administration regulations set up limits for pollutants in bottled water which usually much provide equal protection for the general public health. Drinking water, which includes bottled water, may fairly be expected to consist of at least a small amount of some pollutants. The presence of these pollutants does not necessarily show that the water positions health risks. The causes of drinking water (both faucet water and bottled water) include rivers, ponds stream s, 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 get substances resulting from the existence of animals or coming from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source drinking water include the following: · Microbial Contaminants, including viruses and bacterias, which may come from sewerage treatment plants, solid waste systems, agricultural animal operations, or animals. · Inorganic Pollutants, such as salts and metals, which can be natural or may result coming from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or household wastewater discharges, gas and oil production, mining, or perhaps farming. · & nitrogen-laden Herbicides, which may incorporate a variety of sources including agriculture, urban surprise water runoff and residential uses. Organic and natural Chemical Contaminants, which includes synthetic and risky organic chemicals, that are byproducts of industrial procedures and petroleum creation and can also originate from gas stations, urban surprise water runoff, and septic systems. · Radioactive Contaminants, which may be naturally occurring or could be the result of oil and gas creation and mining actions. To ensure that plain tap water is safe to drink, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY prescribes regulations that limit the number of particular contaminants in drinking water provided by public drinking water systems. Food and Drug Administration rules establish limits intended for contaminants in water in bottles which must supply the same protection intended for public health. For more information on the subject of contaminants and potential health effects, contact the U. H. EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Servicenummer at 1-800-426-4791. Essential health Information: Some people might be more vulnerable to pollutants in drinking water compared to the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as individuals with cancer going through chemotherapy, persons that have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or perhaps other immune system disorders, some elderly and infants can be especially at risk from attacks. These people should talk to their health care provider round drinking water. EPA/CDC recommendations on the appropriate ways to lessen the risk of contamination by Cryptosporidium and also other microbial contaminants can be found from the Safe Drinking Water Service number..
