SERV, emailing publicworks@ flower-mound. com, or perhaps visiting www.flower-mound. contendo. Specific questions or concerns regarding water quality might be directed to 972. 874. 6400. Our Water Meets or Exceeds All Federal government (EPA) Drinking Water Requirements This report is a summary of the top quality of the water we offer our customers. The analysis was made utilizing the data from the latest U. S. (EPA) environmental protection agency required tests and it is presented in the following pages. We hope these details help you become more familiar with what's in your water. Where Do We Obtain Our Drinking Water? Floral Mound (PWS #0610023) purchased 4, 880, 788, 000 gallons of treated water from Dallas Drinking water Utilities (DWU), as well as the Upper Trinity Local Water District (RWD). Water loss, including water not made up through metering and estimation, totaled sixteen, 276, 127 intended for 2017. All of Floral Mound’s water is usually surface water, from lakes and rivers. The majority of this kind of water is obtained from Lake Lewisville, yet it can also come from Pond Ray Hubbard, and Lake Tawakoni. The TCEQ Source Drinking water Susceptibility report explains the susceptibility and types of matters that may come into contact with the drinking water source depending on human activities and natural conditions. Make sure you call 972. 874. 6400 for more information about source water tests and protection attempts of our system. Extra Constituents Constituents, including calcium, sodium, or perhaps iron, commonly present in drinking water at different concentrations, can impact the taste, color, and odor of drinking water. The State of Texas manages these taste and odor constituents, known as secondary constituents, yet does not consider all of them cause for health matters. The secondary matters are not presented with this annual report, nevertheless, monthly test outcomes can be provided after request. All Water May Contain Pollutants and Cryptosporidium Once drinking water meets federal government standards there might not be any health-based rewards to purchasing water in bottles or point-of-use products. Drinking water, including water in bottles, may reasonably be anticipated to contain in the least small amounts of some contaminants. The existence of contaminants does not always indicate that drinking water poses a wellness risk. More information regarding contaminants and potential health effects can be acquired by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Servicenummer at 800. 426. 4791. Cryptosporidium is actually a microscopic intestinal vermine found naturally inside the environment. Although purification removes most Cryptosporidium, the most commonly used purification methods cannot assure 100 percent removal. The water providers frequently test both cured and untreated drinking water for this pathogen and also have found it just in the untreated (rivers and lakes) hydrant. Not everyone subjected to the organism turns into ill. Individuals with healthful immune systems generally overcome the effects in a few weeks. However, immune-compromised people are at a larger risk of developing a deadly illnesses. We motivate at-risk individuals to seek advice from their doctor concerning appropriate precautions to avoid infection. To ask for more information on Cryptosporidium, please call the U. S. EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline in 800. 426. 4791. Water Quality Monitoring Results in The following furniture list all of the government regulated or supervised constituents that have been present in your drinking water. The U. S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY requires water devices to test up to 80 constituents. As the tables illustrate, the drinking water provided to Flower Mound clients met or surpassed all established requirements. The tables determine contaminants detected during 2017 or the latest testing done in compliance with regulations, such as the maximum amounts allowed by state and federal rules. Coliforms Total coliform bacteria are used because of indicators of microbes contamination of water. While not disease-causing (pathogen), they are often found to microbes that are pathogens. Coliform bacteria are hardier than a large number of pathogens; therefore, their particular absence from drinking water is an indication the drinking water is microbiologically safe for human beings consumption. The Total Coliform table indicates if total coliform or perhaps fecal coliform bacterias were found in the monthly drinking water sample during 2017. Not regulated Contaminant Monitoring Rules (UCMR) Unregulated pollutants are those that EPA has not founded drinking water standards. The objective of unregulated contaminant monitoring is to assist ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY in determining the occurrence of not regulated contaminants in water and whether long term regulation is called for. Any unregulated pollutants detected are reported in the following desk. For additional information and data visit www.epa. gov/safe water/user/ucmr2/index. HTML, or perhaps call the A safe drinking water supply Hotline at 800. 426. 4791. HAA5 and THM This kind of evaluation is required simply by EPA to determine the selection of total trihalomethane and haloacetic acids inside the system for potential regulations. The examples are not used for conformity and may have been gathered under {nonstandard} circumstances. EPA requires the information to be reported right here. Please contact the city of Flower Pile if you have any queries. Lead and Copper mineral Elevated levels of business leaders can cause serious health issues, especially for pregnant women and young children, if within the drinking water. Lead found in drinking water is mainly introduced from components and components connected with service lines and home plumbing. This kind of water supply is responsible for offering high-quality drinking water, yet cannot control the range of materials used in domestic plumbing components. Lead and copper concentrations may become elevated as water remains in contact with domestic plumbing for long periods. You can minimize the potential for business lead exposure by flushing your tap intended for 30 seconds to two minutes before working with water for consuming or cooking. In case you are concerned about lead within your water, you may want your water examined. Information on lead found in drinking water, testing strategies, and steps you can take to reduce exposure is available from your Safe Drinking Water Hotline or perhaps by visiting www.epa.gov/safewater/lead..
