Warm Springs WTP, Simnasho Schoolie and Sidwater Water Quality Reports 2018
The following sec-
tion applies to all three
r e p o r t s — t h e Wa r m
Springs WTP 2018
Consumer Confidence
Report (CCR), the
Simnasho Schoolie
2018 CCR, and the
Sidwalter 2018 CCR.
Specific provisions
regarding the indi-
vidual reports for each
system follow this sec-
tion as noted. Regard-
ing all three CCRs the
general provisions are
as follows:
Is my water safe?
We are pleased to
present this year’s Annual
Water Quality Reports
(Consumer Confidence Re-
port) as required by the Safe
Drinking Water Act
(SDWA). The following
three
reports—War m
Springs WTP 2018,
Simnasho Schoolie 2018,
and Sidwalter 2018—are
designed to provide details
about where your water
comes from, what it con-
tains, and how it compares
to standards set by regula-
tory agencies. This report is
a snapshot of last year’s wa-
ter quality. We are commit-
ted to providing you with in-
formation because informed
customers are our best allies.
Do I need to take special
precautions?
Some people may be
more vulnerable to contami-
nants in drinking water than
the general population.
Immuno-compromised per-
sons such as persons with
cancer undergoing chemo-
therapy, persons who have
undergone organ transplants,
people with HIV/AIDS or
other immune system disor-
ders, 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 Wa-
ter Drinking Hotline (800-
426-4791).
Why are there contami-
nants in my drinking wa-
ter?
Drinking water, including
bottled water, may reason-
ably 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 infor mation
about contaminants and po-
tential health effects can be
obtained by calling the En-
vironmental Protection
Agency’s (EPA) Safe Drink-
ing Water Hotline (800-426-
4791). The sources of drink-
ing water (both tap water and
bottled water) include rivers,
lakes, streams, ponds, reser-
voirs, springs, and wells. As
water travels over the sur-
face of the land or through
the ground, it dissolves natu-
rally occurring minerals and,
in some cases, radioactive
material, and can pick up
substances resulting from
the presence of animals or
from human activity:
Microbial contaminants,
such as viruses and bacteria,
that may come from sewage
treatment plants, septic sys-
tems, agricultural livestock
operations, and wildlife; in-
organic contaminants, such
as salts and metals, which
can be naturally occurring or
result
from
urban
stormwater runoff, indus-
trial, or domestic wastewa-
ter discharges, oil and gas
production, mining, or farm-
ing; pesticides and herbi-
cides, which may come from
a variety of sources such as
agriculture,
urban
stormwater runoff, and resi-
dential uses; organic Chemi-
cal Contaminants, including
synthetic and volatile organic
chemicals, which are by-
products of industrial pro-
cesses and petroleum pro-
duction, and can also come
from gas stations, urban
stormwater runoff, and sep-
tic systems; and radioactive
contaminants, which can be
naturally occurring or be the
result of oil and gas produc-
tion and mining activities. In
order to ensure that tap wa-
ter is safe to drink, EPA pre-
scribes regulations that limit
the amount of certain con-
taminants in water provided
by public water systems.
Food and Drug Administra-
tion (FDA) regulations estab-
lish limits for contaminants
in bottled water which must
provide the same protection
for public health.

tem.
Water Conservation Tips:
Did you know that the
average U.S. household uses
approximately 400 gallons
of water per day or 100 gal-
lons per person per day?
Luckily, there are many low-
cost and no-cost ways to con-
serve water. Small changes
can make a big difference -
try one today and soon it will
become second nature.
· Take short showers - a
5 minute shower uses 4 to 5
gallons of water compared
to up to 50 gallons for a
bath.
· Shut off water while
brushing your teeth, washing
your hair and shaving and
save up to 500 gallons a
month.
· Use a water-efficient
showerhead. They’re inexpen-
sive, easy to install, and can
save you up to 750 gallons a
month.
· Run your clothes washer
and dishwasher only when
they are full. You can save up
to 1,000 gallons a month.
· Water plants only when
necessary.
· Fix leaky toilets and fau-
cets. Faucet washers are in-
expensive and take only a few
minutes to replace. To check
your toilet for a leak, place a
few drops of food coloring
in the tank and wait. If it
seeps into the toilet bowl with-
out flushing, you have a leak.
Fixing it or replacing it with a
new, more efficient model
can save up to 1,000 gallons
a month.
· Adjust sprinklers so only
your lawn is watered. Apply
water only as fast as the soil
can absorb it and during the
cooler parts of the day to re-
duce evaporation.
