The city works one ground drinking water well approximately 485 feet deep. The well is located on VFW Road. This property is guarded against activities that could potentially cause contaminants of the water resource. We add chlorine for disinfection and fluoride to promote solid teeth at the well. This water supply is called the Crystalline Rock Aquifer. The town also receives drinking water from Columbia State which draws drinking water from the Savannah Riv and Clark Mountain Reservoir. Columbia Region treats these drinking water sources at the Rick Blanchard Water Treatment center on Point Comfort and eases Road and the Clark Simon Hill Water Treatment center on Highway 221. Monitoring Waiver Upon March 12, mil novecentos e noventa e seis, Grovetown Water Program was issued monitoring waivers for asbestos, dioxin, and twenty-eight synthetic organic substances (SOCs) because Environmental Protection Division (EPD) studies show that the distributed drinking water in your area can be not vulnerable to contaminants from these chemical substances. Grovetown's receipt of the waiver exempts the general public water system from monitoring the moving water sold to the general public only for the chemicals on the waiver certificate, about the term specified in the certificate. It is even now required to monitor for any other parameters. Upon October 3, 1995, Grovetown was also issued a monitoring waiver for cyanide by EPD since EPD studies show the distributed water in your town is not susceptible to cyanide contamination. Impurities and Health Risks The sources of drinking water (both tap 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 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 human activity. Pollutants that may be present in source water range from the following: · Microbes contaminants, such seeing that viruses and bacterias that may come from sewage treatment plant life, septic systems, farming livestock operations, and wildlife. · Inorganic contaminants such because salts and alloys, which can be naturally taking place or result from city storm runoff, commercial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas creation, mining, or farming. · Pesticides and herbicides, which may originate from a variety of sources some as agriculture, metropolitan stormwater runoff, and residential uses. · Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemical substances, which are byproducts of business processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, city stormwater runoff, and septic systems. · Radioactive contaminants, which may be naturally occurring or be the result of gas and oil production and exploration. To ensure that plain tap water is safe to drink, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY prescribes regulations that limit the number of specific contaminants in drinking water provided by public drinking water systems. Food and Drug Administration rules establish limits meant for contaminants in water in bottles which must supply the same protection intended for public health. Moving water, including bottled water, might reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of a few contaminants. The presence of impurities does not necessarily show that water postures a health risk. More information about pollutants and potential wellness effects can be obtained simply by calling the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Servicenummer (1-800- 426-4791). Some individuals may be more susceptible to contaminants in water to drink than the general human population. Immunocompromised persons this kind of as persons with cancer undergoing radiation treatment, persons who have gone through organ transplants, individuals with HIV/AIDS or additional immune system disorders, several elderly, and babies can be particularly in danger from infections. These individuals should seek assistance about drinking water using their health care providers..
