2007 Consumer Confidence Report
North Monroe County Water System -
PWSID #2070072
Water Quality Report
We are happy to report that we have a dependable supply of
water and last year, as in years past, your tap water met all U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state drinking
water health standards. Monroe County Water System
continues to vigilantly safeguard our water supplies and work
to improve our service to you.
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 undergo
ing 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?
Our water is supplied by two wells which draw ground water
from an unconfined crystalline rock aquifer. We also
purchase water from Butts County Water and Sewer Author
ity and the City of Forsyth.
Source water assessment and its availability
The purpose of having more than one water source is to
assure adequate water supply to serve our system needs, both
for our expected growth and as backup in case one portion of
the system is being serviced. Water storage is provided by a
250,000 gallon elevated tank for periods of peak usage and for
fire fighting.
Water quality can be afected by naturally occurring elements
or environmental factors. Some potential sources of pollution
could be businesses such as automobile or from domestic
septic systems. However, there are no potential pollution
sources in the control zones around our wells. This means we
have a lower risk of contamination by human activity.
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 contami
nants. 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.
The Monroe County Water System table of detected
Regulated Substances is included in this report. Copies of the
Butts County Water and Sewer Authority and City of Forsyth
reports are available in the Water Office.
Lead and Drinking Water:
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. The Monroe County Water System, Butts County
Water and Sewer Authority and City of Forsyth are respon
sible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot
control the variety of materials used in plumbing compo
nents. 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 www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
How can I get involved?
The Monroe County Board of Commissioners meet on the
first and third Tuesdays of each month at 6:00 p.m. at 38 West
Main Street and you are welcome to attend. The staff of
Monroe County Water System are happy to assist you in any
way we can to address your concerns and answer your
questions. You may contact us at 478-992-5089 or visit our
office at 52 West Chambers Street in Forsyth.
Conservation Tips
Did you know that the average U.S. household uses approxi
mately 350 gallons of water per day? Luckily, there are many
low-cost or no-cost ways to conserve water. Water your lawn
at the least sunny times of the day. Fix toilet and faucet leaks.
Take short showers - a 5 minute shower uses 4 to 5 gallons of
water compared to up to 50 gallons for a bath. Turn the faucet
off while brushing your teeth and shaving; 3-5 gallons go
down the drain per minute. 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!
As defined by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources,
Environmental Protection Division Rules, Monroe County is
in the Outdoor Water Use Schedule Declared Drought
Response Level Two.
This means odd-numbered addresses water on Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Sundays. Even-numbered addresses may
water on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Watering is
allowed only between the hours of 12:00 midnight and 10:00
a.m. with no outdoor watering on Fridays.
A complete printout of the Rules may be obtained from the
Monroe County Water office.
Water Quality Data Table
The table below lists all of the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the calendar year of this report. The
presence of contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. 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
change frequently
