Joint Municipal WSC

ON YOUR MUNICIPAL WATER & SEWER COMMISSION OFFERS QUALITY WATER The Joint Municipal Normal water & Sewer Commission payment (JMWSC) is vigilantly committed to providing the best quality of drinking water for the residents in our services area. The Environmental Security Agency and the T. C. Department of Health and Environmental Control have established standards to get drinking water. These specifications were designed to guard the consumer from bacterias and water in the mental illnesses. This record reflects on the Commission’s commitment and represents an index of the drinking water top quality during the year 2017. In case you have questions concerning this kind of report please phone (803)359-8373. WHERE DOES INDEED MY WATER ARE DERIVED FROM? The Commission takes in water from two connections with the Associated with West Columbia. Equally connection points are supplied by the surface normal water treatment plant found on Old Cherokee Highway, which uses Pond Murray for its normal water source and can produce over twenty-two million gallons daily, of which the Percentage has acquired roughly twelve million gallons per day of the total capacity.

Most sources of drinking water are subject to potential toxins by substances which might be naturally occurring or man-made. These substances may be microbes, inorganic or perhaps organic chemicals and radioactive substances. Most drinking water, including water in bottles, may reasonably be anticipated to contain for least small amounts of some contaminants. Arsenic intoxication contaminants do not indicate that the normal water poses a well-being a risk. More information regarding contaminants and potential health effects can be acquired by calling environmentally friendly Protection Agency’s (EPA) Safe Drinking Water Hotline for 1-800-426-4791. Some people can be more vulnerable to impurities in drinking water compared to the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as people with cancer having chemotherapy, persons who may have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV\AIDS or perhaps other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be specifically at risk from attacks. These people should seek out advice about moving water from their health care providers. EPA\CDC (Centers for Disease Control) guidelines about appropriate means to minimize the risk of infection by simply Cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available through the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791)..
