District NWDO
Facility Type Community
Population Category 10,001 to 50,000
Service Area Residential
Contaminant Trihalomethanes, total
Contaminant Group Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs)
Public Notice Template Tier2_TTHM_MCL.pdf
Fact Sheet Trihalomethanes, total Fact Sheet
Standard MCL = 0.080 mg/l
Major Sources By-product of drinking water chlorination
Health Effects Some people who drink water containing trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidneys, or central nervous systems, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer.
Advisory Begin Date 8/21/2002
Details and Recent Results Running annual average was 0.171 mg/L for the July 1 through September 30, 2008 monitoring period. System was issued a violation letter on 11/19/2008 for this exceedance.
History Enforcement action issued to system on 5/5/03.
Status Construction of treatment facility complete and operational. Report on system effectiveness showed that system is producing water that is below maximum contaminant levels(MCL) for disinfection byproducts. Running annual average should be below MCL in several quarters and PWS will return to compliance.

Contaminant Fluoride
Contaminant Group Inorganic Chemicals (IOCs)
Public Notice Template Tier3_fluorideSMCL.pdf
Fact Sheet Fluoride Fact Sheet
Standard MCL = 4 mg/l and Secondary MCL = 2 mg/l
Major Sources Erosion of natural deposits; Water additive which promotes strong teeth; Discharge from fertilizer and aluminum factories
Health Effects Some people who drink water containing fluoride in excess of the MCL over many years could get 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 fluorosis, may include brown staining and/or pitting of the teeth, and occurs only in developing teeth before they erupt from the gums.
Advisory Begin Date 8/12/2006
Details and Recent Results Sample collected on August 12, 2006 had 2.1 mg/L fluoride. Proof of public notice received 7/ 30/ 2007.
History Samples results received since the year 2000 vary between 1.9 and 2.2 mg/L fluoride. The water system is required to test the drinking water for fluoride every three years.
Status The water system historically has natural fluoride levels above 2.0 mg/L. The system is required public notice annually, but is not required to install treatment to reduce the anount of fluoride in the water.
