City of Waynesboro 2021CCR
Is my water safe?
We are pleased to present this year's Annual Water Quality Report (Consumer Confidence
Report) as required by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). This report is designed to provide
details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to standards
set by regulatory agencies. This report is a snapshot of last year's water quality. We are
committed to providing you with information because informed customers are our best allies.
Do I need to take special precautions?
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/Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of
infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe
Water Drinking Hotline (800-426-4791).
Where does my water come from?
The City of Waynesboro is supplied water from 2 different water sources. The 6th St. Well,
which is located on the comer of 6th and Nesbitt Streets, and the Hwy 25 North Well, located at
125 Industrial Blvd. These wells both withdraw water from the Midville/Creatous Aquifers.
Source water assessment and its availability
The City of Waynesboro has a Well Head, and Source Water Protection plan in place at the City,
and can be made available from our office. These plans provide information such as potential
sources of contamination, and has concluded that the City of Waynesboro's water is at a low
level of risk from contamination.
Why are there contaminants in my drinking 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 Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 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 water travels over the
surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some
cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or
from human activity: microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, that 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 and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as
agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses; organic Chemical Contaminants,
including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes
and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and
septic systems; and radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of
oil and gas production and mining activities. In order 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. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for
contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.
How can I get involved?
We encourage all of our citizens to get involved in keeping our streams and rivers clean and safe.
We want all our citizens to be informed about the Water Utility. Any questions concerning this
report would be gladly answered by our City Manager Valerie Kirkland, or by J.C. Ellison. If
you would like to learn more, please attend our regularly scheduled City Council meetings.
Description of Water Treatment Process
Your water is treated by filtration and disinfection. Filtration removes particles suspended in the
source water. Particles typically include clays and silts, natural organic matter, iron and
manganese, and microorganisms. Your water is also treated by disinfection. Disinfection
involves the addition of chlorine or other disinfectants to kill bacteria and other microorganisms
(viruses, cysts, etc.) that may be in the water. Disinfection is considered to be one of the major
public health advances of the 20th century.
Water Conservation Tips
Did you know that the average U.S. household uses approximately 400 gallons of water per day
or 100 gallons per person per day? Luckily, there are many low-cost and no-cost ways to
conserve water. Small changes can make a big difference - try one today and soon it will become
second nature.
... Take short showers - a 5 minute shower uses 4 to 5 gallons of water compared to up to 50
gallons for a bath.
... Shut off water while brushing your teeth, washing your hair and shaving and save up to
500 gallons a month.
... Use a water-efficient showerhead. They're inexpensive, easy to install, and can save you
up to 750 gallons a month.
... Run your clothes washer and dishwasher only when they are full. You can save up to
1,000 gallons a month.
... Water plants only when necessary.
... Fix leaky toilets and faucets. Faucet washers are inexpensive and take only a few minutes
to replace. To check your toilet for a leak, place a few drops of food coloring in the tank
and wait. If it seeps into the toilet bowl without flushing, you have a leak. Fixing it or
replacing it with a new, more efficient model can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.
... Adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered. Apply water only as fast as the soil can
absorb it and during the cooler parts of the day to reduce evaporation.
... Teach your kids about water conservation to ensure a future generation that uses water
wisely. Make it a family effort to reduce next month's water bill!
... Visit www.epa.gov/watersense for more information.
Additional Information for Lead
If present, elevated 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. City of Waynesboro 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 minutes 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 Data Table
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the
amount of contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The table below lists all of
the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the calendar year of this report.
Although many more contaminants were tested, only those substances listed below were found in
your water. All sources of drinking water contain some naturally occurring contaminants. At low
levels, these substances are generally not harmful in our drinking water. Removing all
contaminants would be extremely expensive, and in most cases, would not provide increased
protection of public health. A few naturally occurring minerals may actually improve the taste of
drinking water and have nutritional value at low levels. Unless otherwise noted, the data
presented in this table is from testing done in the calendar year of the report. The EPA or the
State requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the
concentrations of these contaminants do not vary significantly from year to year, or the system is
not considered vulnerable to this type of contamination. As such, some of our data, though
representative, may be more than one year old. In this table you will find terms and abbreviations
that might not be familiar to you. To help you better understand these terms, we have provided
the definitions below the table.
