Jacksonville Utilities

The Jacksonville Water Functions, Gas & Sewer Board is happy to provide you this kind of year's 2016 CCR Water Quality Statement. This report is made to keep you informed regarding the quality of water sent to you daily. We wish you to understand the attempts we make to enhance treatment processes and protect our drinking water supplies. Our causes of water are water wells that draw new, pure water coming from Big Springs and Germania Springs. Also, we purchase drinking water from the Anniston Drinking water Works and Sewer Board which is sucked from Coldwater Springs. Supporting this commitment we now have completed a Weaknesses Assessment and Crisis Response Plan. This kind of Assessment and Strategy will help to increase the preparedness in the event of a terrorist attack or perhaps an intentional act meant to disrupt our capability to provide you with safe and reliable drinking water. The Jacksonville Water Functions, Gas & Sewer Board monitors intended for contaminants in your water as required simply by Federal and Condition regulations. We are assured in reporting which our water is secure coming from threat and is secure to drink following the Federal government and State requirements. If you have any queries regarding these issues, please contact Mister. Chris Patterson, Drinking water Plant Manager in (256) 435-9551 or perhaps if you wish to learn more, go to any of our standard monthly meetings. Water Works, Gas & Sewer Board matches the third Monday of every month at 330 Church Avenue ZE at 5: 00 p. m. The tables found within this kind of report show the outcomes of our monitoring intended from January 1 to Dec 31, 2016. The federal government and State rules require that 90% of the distribution examples for Lead and Copper be under the MCL. During the last doze month period, totally of Jacksonville's circulation samples were under the MCL. We are extremely proud of the outcomes that we have been able to attain. Please remember that it is affordable for some contaminants to become present in our water. This may be due to the treatment process or perhaps from naturally occurring drinking water flow. All water, including bottled water, might reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of a few contaminants. The presence of pollutants does not necessarily show that water has a health associated risk. More information about pollutants and potential wellness effects can be obtained simply by calling the Environmental Safety Agency's Safe Drinking Water Servicenummer (800-426-4791). The causes of drinking water (both plain tap water and bottled water) include rivers, ponds, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and water wells. As water moves over the surface from the land or throughout the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and radioactive material, it will pick up substances caused by the presence of animals or perhaps from human actions..
