The Norman Resources Authority provides impressive leadership and excellent services to make sure that you, our clients, have access to safe, top quality water. This record, the Consumer Confidence Statement (CCR), provides information about our sources of drinking water, water quality check results and additional components to give you the self-confidence and assurance from the safety of Norman’s drinking water. RESPONSE TO LEAD AND COPPER ISSUES There’s been a whole lot of news coverage lately about lead in drinking water. Norman’s drinking water laboratory staff gathered 62 water examples for lead and copper in 2015. The 90th percentile result for the business lead was 0. six ppb (parts every billion) or twenty-five times lower than the allowable amount of 15 ppb. And, similarly, samples intended for copper were 16 times below the permitted limit. In fact, due to Norman’s continued superb water quality assessments for lead/copper, the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) recommended reducing our monitoring frequency to every 3 years. PHASE II DRINKING WATER TREATMENT PLANT Norman’s Water Treatment Herb staff, engineers and consultants met with DEQ during 2015 even as we work out the executive plans for Phase II Drinking water Treatment Plant advancements. The $31 mil project will provide becomes meet the new regulating requirements, improve drinking water quality, improve chemical substance safety and update gear. Completed plans will be anticipated to be given the green light by DEQ later in 2016 and the building will start shortly afterward. INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS Your aging infrastructure of resources across America has additionally continued to be in the information and the Norman Resources Authority is acquiring steps to address this problem. This past year, over 12, 600 feet of enormous diameter (24 ins and larger) drinking water lines were changed through the central a part of Norman. Besides, our very own Water Line Repair crews replaced more than 7, 500 ft of old six-inch and eight-inch water lines in different neighborhoods, and installed 31 fresh fire hydrants. This is a small piece of the entire need, but our company is actively working to make sure continued water support and fire safety to our community. RECYCLING WHERE POSSIBLE CENTERS Good stewardship of all our assets remains a top concern. This past year we began our fourth dropoff recycling facility; located adjacent to the new Open fire Station #9 upon Alameda Street. With each other, these four falls off recycling centers gather over 120 a lot of recycling materials every month. Our residential curbside recycling efforts always win acclaims by managing over 90% involvement throughout the year. And the recycling partner, Republic, recognized us having a billboard on I-35 congratulating Norman occupants for achieving more than 10, 000, 500 pounds of recycling where possible during 2015. GRETTLE LEADS IN ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP The City of Norman is recognized as frontrunners in environmental stewardship regarding water, sewage, sanitation, recycling, composting and water recycling.
