These Methods are outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations Title 40 Part 141 (National Primary Drinking Water Regulations and the ADEM Water ‘Supply Program Division 335.7. The EPA and ADEM established which compounds are considered Regulated and which compounds are considered Unregulated. The EPA and ADEM review both Regulated and Unregulated Compounds, the EPA only established Maximum Contaminant Limits (MCL) and Action Levels (AL) for Regulated Compounds. However, all compounds analyzed throughout each year must be reported to the EPA, ADEM and every customer who purchases water from a Public Water System in the form of a Consumer Confidence Report (CCR). This table below is only a small sample of the contaminants required to be analyzed by ‘municipalities throughout the year. This table gives you the MCL and AL for the compounds GSI analyzed. ‘The results of each sample submitted met EPA and ADEM approved water quality standards.Maximum Contaminant Action Level Limit (mg/L) (mg/L) Regulated Compounds Lead 0.015 Total Coliform Absent E. Coli ‘Absent Total Recoverable Lead 0.015 0.018 Total Recoverable Copper 1 13 Unregulated Compounds pH Carbon, Total Organic Hardness, Total (As CaCO3) oo Se Magnesium Copper 1 Iron 03 Other helpful information included in the CC! The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ( A) wants you to know: In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Fegulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water that must provide the same protection for public health. All 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 linformation about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). The sources of drinking ‘water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells, As Mater travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring ‘minerals and radioactive material, and it can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Mlcrohiol contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife, Inorganic contaminants, such os salts and metals, which ean be naturally-oecurring or result from urban stom water runoff. industrial or domestic Nastewater discharges, oil and ges production, mining, of farming. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture urban storm water runoff, and residential uses. Organic chemical contaminants, including, symhetic and volatile organie chemicals, which are by-products oF industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff. and septic systems. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring ot be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. Important Information About Lead: Ut present, elevated levels of lead ean cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarity from materials and components associated with service tines and home plumbing. The Ashville Water & Sewer Department is responsible for providing high auality drinking water. but eannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components, When Your water has been sting for several hours, you can minimize the potential fr lead exposure by fishing ‘Your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. Ifyou are concemed abvat Guardian Systems, Ine.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 exposure is available Irom the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at htip://www.cpa.govisafewater/lead Notes: 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 hhave undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infe These people should seck advice about drinking water from their health eare providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). ‘We do hope that we have been able to provide you with helpful information, Our goal as 4 commercial environmental testing laboratory is to provide legally defensible results to all customers while adhering to EPA and ADEM. regulations.
