Deadline is Monday, NOON. 541-549-9941 27 OUR DRINKING WATER QUALITY TOLLGATE WATER COMPANY 2015 Federal and state agencies require each community water system to provide an Federal and state agencies require each community water system to provide an an- nual Consumer Confi dence Report (CCR) to each customer. This is Tollgate Water Company’s (TWC) 2015 report. Where does my water come from? TGW’s water is derived from two wells, which pump from a ground water aquifer. One well is located at the east end of Wagon Wheel in section 5. The other is located just north of the fi re substation. Source water assessment and its availability The 1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act require all states to con- duct Source Water Assessments for public water systems within their boundaries. The assessments consist of (1) identifi cation of the Drinking Water Protection Area, i.e., the area at the surface that is directly above that part of the aquifer that supplies water to our wells, (2) identifi cation of the potential sources of pollution within the Drinking Water Protection Area, and (3) determination of the susceptibility or relative risk to the well water from those pollution sources. The purpose of the assessment is to provide water systems with the information needed to develop a strategy to protect the drinking water resource. The respective Drinking Water Programs of the Department of Human Services and Environmental Quality have completed the assessment for Tollgate’s wells. A copy of the report is on fi le at the water system’s offi ce. Why are there contaminants in drinking water? 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 con- taminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791 Is my water safe? Last year, 2015, as in years past, your tap water met all U.S. Environmental Pro- tection Agency and state drinking water health standards. Tollgate Water Company is proud to report that our system has not violated a maximum contamination level or any other water quality standard. Not all contaminants are tested annually. For those, which are not tested annually, the most recent sampling results occurring in the last fi ve years must be reported, if the contaminant was present. To help you understand terms and abbreviations found in Table One we provide the following defi nitions: Parts per million (PPM) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) – one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000.. Maximum Contamination Level – the “Maximum Allowed” (MCL) is the high- est level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Contamination Level Goal – the “Goal” (MCLG) is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. MCLs are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible health ef- fects described for many regulated constituents, a person would have to drink two liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect. Health effects Some people who drink water containing fl uoride in excess of the MCL over many years could develop bone disease, including pain and tenderness of the bones. Fluoride in drinking water at half the MCL or more may cause mottling of children’s teeth, usually in children less than nine years old. Mottling also known as dental fl uorosis, may include brown staining and/or pitting of the teeth, and oc- curs only in developing teeth before they erupt from the gums. Infants and children who drink water containing lead in excess of the action level (Action level is the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, trig- gers treatment or other requirements which a water company must follow. Action level for lead and copper are the same as their respective MCLs) could experience delays in their physical or mental development. Children could show slight defi - cits in attention span and learning abilities. Adults who drink this water over many years could develop kidney problems or high blood pressure. Copper is an essential nutrient, but some people who drink water containing copper in excess of the action level over a relatively short amount of time could experience gastrointestinal distress. Some people who drink water containing copper in excess of the action level over many years could suffer liver or kidney damage. People with Wilson’s disease should consult their personal doctor. Infants below the age of six months who drink water containing nitrite in ex- cess of the MCL could become seriously ill and, if untreated, may die. Symptoms include shortness of breath and blue-baby syndrome. Some people who consume water containing alpha emitters or radium in ex- cess of the MCLs over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer. Do I need to take special precautions? Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with can- cer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/Aids or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and in- fants 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 (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Water Drinking Hotline (800-426-4791). How can I get involved? Your continued cooperation in such programs as the cross connection program helps insure the quality of our water. If you have questions about the water system or the quality of your water, call Betty Fadeley at 541-549-7962 or Lynn Loun- sbury at 541-419-9593, or attend water board meetings, which are held the fourth Tuesday of January, April, July, and October in the Tollgate Recreation Hall at 7:00 p.m. Malcolm Murphy Board Chair Lynn Lounsbury Distribution Manager
