WATER QUALITY DATA TABLES
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink,
EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of
contaminants in water provided by public water systems.
The tables at right and on page 11 list all of the drink-
ing water contaminants that we detected during the cal-
endar year of the particular report. Although many more
contaminants were tested, only those substances listed
below were found in your water. All sources of drinking
water contain some naturally occurring contaminants.
At low levels, these substances are generally not harm-
ful in our drinking water. Removing all contaminants
would be extremely expensive, and in most cases, would
not provide increased protection of public health. A few
naturally occurring minerals may actually improve the
taste of drinking water and have nutritional value at low
levels. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this
table is from testing done in the calendar year of the
report. The EPA or the State requires us to monitor for
certain contaminants less than once per year because
the concentrations of these contaminants do not vary
significantly from year to year, or the system is not con-
sidered vulnerable to this type of contamination. As such,
some of our data, though representative, may be more
than one year old. In this table you will find terms and
abbreviations that might not be familiar to you. To help
you better understand these terms, we have provided
the definitions below the table.

Where does my water come from?
The Simnasho-Schoolie CWS is supplied by two ground
water wells, drilled in 2009 and 2012.
Source water assessment and its availability
None.
Significant Deficiencies
All significant deficiencies identified during 2017 last sani-
tary survey were corrected in 2018.
See Simnasho Schoolie Water Quality Da ta
Table lower right and on page 11.
Additional Information for Lead
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health
problems, especially for pregnant women and young chil-
dren. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and
components associated with service lines and home plumb-
ing. Simnasho Schoolie is responsible for providing high qual-
ity drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materi-
als used in plumbing components. When your water has been
sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for
lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 min-
utes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are
concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have
your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water,
testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize expo-
sure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at
http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
