IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER

Monitoring/Reporting Requirements Not Met

Our water system recently violated a drinking water requirement. Although this incident was not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what we did (are doing) to correct this situation.

We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health standards. We did not complete all applicable monitoring, testing, or reporting for the following requirement(s), therefore we cannot be sure of the quality of your drinking water during that period.

Requirement(s) not met:

Chlorine residual monitoring – Entry point and in distribution

Period of Non-Compliance:

May 26, 2025 – June 3, 2025

What should I do?

There is nothing you need to do at this time. You may continue to drink the water. We will notify you within 24 hours if a situation arises where the water is no longer safe to drink.

What is being done?

The automatic flushers have maintained quality disinfection residuals. Bacteriological samples have been taken to ensure no fecal bacteria are present. Daily residual monitoring returned June 4, 2025.

Expected completion date for the corrective action:

06/05/2025
