Maximum
Contaminant Level (MCL)

in drinking water. MCL's are set as close to MCLG’s as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
Parts
Per Million (ppm)or Milligrams Per Liter (mg/L) are units
of measure for concentration of a contaminant. A part per million corresponds to one second in a little over 11.5 days.
Parts Per Billion (ppb) or Micrograms
Per Liter (ug/L) are
units of measure for a concentration of a contaminant. A part per billion corresponds to one second in 31.7 years.
Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements
which a water system must follow.

Security Measures….
Seems like everywhere you go, you see cameras mounted. These cameras, if you
listen to the news, are great aids in catching people who are doing things that they are not supposed to be doing.
In an effort to protect our employees and our water supply,
we constantly work on our security systems. We now have cameras installed at our water treatment plant, well field, maintenance
building, storage buildings, and the business office building. We have also been installing cameras at our storage tank sites.
We feel that you can never have too much security. We will endeavor to keep our system and your water supply as safe as we
can while using the latest technologies.
