2007 WATER QUALITY REPORT
Your water meets all state and federal regulations
Last year we conducted more than 6(X) tests for more than
80 drinking water contaminants. We only detected four (4)
contaminants. This brochure as a snapshot of the quality of the
water we provided last year. Included are details about where
your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares
to Environmental Protection Agency (EPAI standards. We are
committed to providing you with the information because we
want you to be informed. For more information about your water
call 478-747-8912 OR 987-0462 and ask for Grady Trussell.
Special Population Advisory
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 have undergone organ transplants, people with
HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and
infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people
should seek advice about drinking water from their health care
providers. EPA/ Center For Disease Control guidelines on how
to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other
microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking
Water Hotline 800-426-4791.
Drinking Water Sources
Your water comes from the Cretaceous Sand Aquifer. The
water is pumped from one gro'und water well. Wellhead Protection
Program information for Houston County wells can be obtained
from the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. Drinking
Water Program. Floyd Towers East. Suite 1362, 205 Butler St.
S.E., Atlanta, GA 30334.
Public Participation Opportunities
Our County Commissioners meet twice a month. Regularly
scheduled meeting are the Ist and 3rd Tuesday of each month.
Additional information regarding these meetings can be obtained
by calling 542-2115. Your participation is welcome a these
meetings.
Contaminants In Water
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 information about contaminants
and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA's
Safe Drinking Water Hotline 81X1-426-4791.
The sources or drinking water (both tap water and bottled
water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs,
and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through
the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals, and can
pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or
from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source
Terms and Abbreviations:
• AL: Action Level - the concentration of a contaminant which,
when exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a
water system must follow.
• MCLG: Maximum Contaminant Level Goal - the level of a
contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or
expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
• MCL: Maximum Contaminant Level - the highest level of
a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are
set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available

water before we treat it include:
• Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which
may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems,
agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.
• Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and. metals, which can
be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff,
industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas
production, mining or farming.
• Pesticides A herbicides, which may come from a variety of
sources such as agriculture and residential use.
• Radioactive contaminants, which are naturally occurring.
• Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and
volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial
processes and petroleum production, and also can come from gas
stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.
• If present, elevation levels of lead can cause serious
health problems, especially for pregnant women and young
children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and
components associated with service lines and home plumbing.
Houston County is responsible for providing high quality
drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used
in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for
several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure
by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minuets before using
water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about 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 from the Safe Drinking
Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
Water Quality Monitoring
To ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes
regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water
provided by public water systems. We treat our water according
to EPA’s regulations. Your water met all the regulations set by
EPA. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits
for contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same
protection for public health.
Water Quality Data
The table in this report lists all file drinking water contaminants
we detected during the 2007 calendar year. The presence of these
contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that
the water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise noted, the data
presented in this table are from testing dune January l through
December 31, 2007. The state requires us to monitor for certain
contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations
of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from
year to year.
treatment technology.
• N/A: not applicable • nd: not detectable at testing limit
• nd: not detected at testing limit.
• pCi/I: picocuries per liter (a measure of radioactivity)
• ppm: parts per million or milligrams per liter -(corresponds to
one minute in two years)
• ppb: parts per billion or micrograms per liter -(corresponds to
one minute in 2,000 years)
• TT: Treatment Technique - A required process intended to
reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.
