Our water system recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened, what you should do, and what we are doing to correct this situation. 

The exceedance is only slightly over the allowable limit. The maximum contaminant level for gross alpha particles is 15 pico-curies/liter of water and is based on a person consuming 2 liters per day of water for 70 years. During that span of time there is one additional case of bone cancer predicted in a population of 10,000 people. The risk of consuming this water for a short period of time is very minimal.
