Special Notice for the ELDERLY, INFANTS, CANCER PATIENTS; people with HIV/AIDS or other immune problems: Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

Our Drinking Water Meets or Exceeds all Federal (EPA) Drinking Water Requirements.
This report is a summary of the quality of the water we provide our customers. The analysis was made by using the data from the most recent US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) required tests and is presented in the attached pages. We hope this information helps you become more knowledgeable about what's in your drinking water.

Where do we get our drinking water?
Our drinking water is obtained from Ground water sources. It comes from the following Lake/River/Reservoir/Aquifer: GULF COAST.
TNRCC will be reviewing all Texas' drinking water sources. The source water assessment process will be completed within three years. It is important to protect your drinking water by protecting your water source

ALL drinking water may contain contaminants.
When drinking water meets federal standards there may not be any health based benefits to purchasing bottled water or point of use devices.
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791.
About the following tables
The tables below list all of the federally regulated or monitored constituents which have been found in your drinking water. US EPA requires water systems to test up to 97 constituents.
|
| Secondary Constituents
Many constituents (such as calcium, sodium, or iron) which are often found in drinking water, can cause taste, color, and odor problems. The taste and odor constituents are called secondary constituents and are regulated by the State of Texas, not EPA. These constituents are not causes for health concerns. Therefore, secondaries are not required to be reported in this document but they may greatly affect the appearance and taste of your water.

- Total Coliform - NOT detected
- Fecal Coliform - NOT detected
DEFINITIONS:
- Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) The highest permissible level of a contaminant in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
- Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected health risk. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
- Treatment Technique (TT) A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.
- Action Level (AL) The concentration of a contaminant which if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.
- NTU Nephelometric Turbidity Units
- MFL million fibers per liter (a measure of asbestos)
- pCi/l picocuries per liter (a measure of radioactivity)
- ppm parts per million, or milligrams per liter (mg/l)
- ppb parts per billion, or micrograms per liter (ug/l)
- ppt parts per trillion, or nanograms per liter
- ppq parts per quadrillion, or picograms per liter
