Park Water Company - Bell Gardens

The sources of water (both tap water and bottled water) consist of rivers, lakes, channels, ponds, reservoirs, suspension springs and wells. Because the water travels within the surface of the property or through the floor, it dissolves natural minerals and, in some instances, radioactive material, and may pick up substances caused by the presence of animals or perhaps from human activity. Pollutants that may be present in resource water include: • Microbial contaminants, which includes viruses and bacterias, that may come from sewerage treatment plants, solid waste systems, agricultural animals operations, and animals; • Inorganic pollutants, such as salts and metals, that can be naturally-occurring or result from city stormwater runoff, commercial or domestic sewage discharges, oil and gas creation, mining or harvesting; • Pesticides and weed killers, which may come from a number of sources such as farming, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses; • Organic chemical substance contaminants, including artificial and volatile organic and natural chemicals, that are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and may also come from gasoline stations, urban stormwater runoff, agricultural application, and septic systems; • Radioactive contaminants, which may be naturally occurring or become the result of oil and gas creation and mining actions. To ensure that plain tap water is safe to drink, the USEPA and the Condition Water Resources Control Board (State Board) prescribe regulations that limit the number of particular contaminants in drinking water provided by public drinking water systems. The State Table regulations also set up limits for pollutants in bottled water that have to provide the same safety for public health. 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 positions a health risk. More information about pollutants and potential wellness effects can be obtained simply by calling the USEPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). You can also get more information upon tap water by signing on to these useful web sites: • http://water.

HTML (State Table web site) Business lead & Copper Even though Bell Gardens offers lead or copper mineral to be an issue within our water systems, the next information is required simply by State Water Assets Control Board. If present, elevated amounts of lead can cause a severe health problem, especially for women that are pregnant and young children. Business lead in drinking water is usually primarily from components and components connected with services lines and home plumbing. The town of Bell Landscapes is responsible for providing top quality drinking water, but are not able to control the variety of components used in plumbing parts. When your water continues to be sitting for several several hours, you can minimize the opportunity of lead exposure simply by flushing your touch for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water intended for drinking or cooking food. If you are concerned about business leaders in your water, you might wish to have your drinking water tested. Information on business lead in drinking water, screening methods, and actions you can take to minimize exposure exist from the Safe Drinking Water Servicenummer or at http://www.epa.gov/lead. Should I Take Extra Precautions? Some people might be more vulnerable to pollutants in drinking water compared to the general population. Immunocompromised 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 look for advice about water from their health care providers. The USEPA/Centers for Disease Control guidelines upon appropriate means to reduce the risk of infection of Cryptosporidium and other microbes contaminants are available from your USEPA’s Safe Drinking Water Servicenummer (1-800-426-4791). Source Drinking water Assessment MWD finished an assessment of its Colorado Water and State Drinking water Project supplies in 2002. Colorado Water supplies are considered the majority of vulnerable to recreation, urban/stormwater runoff, rising urbanization in the watershed, and wastewater. Condition Water Project provides are considered most susceptible to urban/stormwater runoff, wildlife, agriculture, entertainment and wastewater. A duplicate of the assessment can be acquired by contacting MWD at (213) 217-6850. The City of Bells Gardens conducted a great assessment of the groundwater supplies found in 2003. Groundwater materials are considered most susceptible to automobile gas stations, chemical/petroleum processing/storage, known poison plumes, and metallic plating/finishing/fabricating. A copy from the approved assessment might be obtained by sending a request on the city of Bell Landscapes, 8327 Garfield Method, Bell Gardens, CALIFORNIA 90201 Attention Chau Vu, Director of Public Works..
