City of Forsyth Water Dept. I.D.# GA2070001
2021 Water Quality Report
Your Water is Safe to Drink
The City of Forsyth is proud to report that your drinking
water exceeded all safety and quality standards set by the
State of Georgia and EPA. The 2021 Water Quality Report
provides you with a snapshot account of the monitoring and
testing results gathered from water quality analysis during
the 2021 calendar year. The employees at H20 Innovation,
Inc. are committed to providing you with safe, dependable
drinking water and are proud to serve the community of
Forsyth. For more information about your water call
478/994-3423 and ask for Craig Helms or Darryl King.
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 Tobesofkee Creek Reservoir.
This is a surface water source located approximately two (2)
miles south of the city limits. Source water assessment
information may be obtained by calling the Georgia
Environmental Protection Division at 1-888-373-5947 or
visiting their website at www.gaepd.org.
Public Participation Opportunities
If you are interested in participating in water policy
decisions, the Forsyth City Council meets the first and third
Monday of each month. These meetings are open to the
public. For more information call City Hall at 478/994-5649.
For additional information concerning your drinking water,
visit Forsyth's website @ www.citvofforsvth.net.
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 800/426-4791 or visiting the EPD's website at
www.gaepd.org.
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 can pick up
substances resulting from the presence of animals or
from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source 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 storm water runoff, industrial or domestic
wastewater discharges, oil and gas production,
mining or farming.
• Pesticides & 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 storm water runoff, and septic systems.
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. 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 represents the annual average of
the contaminants listed. 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
done January 1 through December 31, 2021. 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. Some of the data, though representative of
the water quality, is more than one year old.

The City of Forsyth lias one hundred-eight (108) microbiological samples tested annually by the EPD. Out of these one hundred-eight samples, zero samples
tested positive for total colifonn bacteria and Ecoli, The water provided to you by the City of Forsyth was bacteria free throughout the year of 2021.
• MCL: For systems that collect less than 40 samples per month (The City of Forsyth is required to collect 9 samples per month), the MCL is one
(1) positive sample per month.
• Total Colifonn and Ecoli are naturally present in the environment.
i Coliforms are bacteria used as an indicator that other, potentially harmful, bacteria may be present.
The City of Forsyth participated in tire monitoring of unregulated contaminants in 2017, aka UCMR3. Unregulated contaminant monitoring helps the
EPA to determine where certain contaminants occur and whether the contaminants need to be regulated. The last samples collected and
analyzed for these contaminants was December 2017 and was found to meet all applicable standards. A detection of a UCMR3 analyte above the
MRL(Minimum Reporting Limit) does not represent cause for concent. Tlte implications of the detection should be judged considering health effects
information, which is often still under development. For more information, consult "L'CMR 3 Data Considerations, Definitions, Reference Concentrations
and Summary PDF" at http://water.epa.KOv/lawsregs/nilesregs/sdwa/vicntr/data.cfmltucnu-20l3.
Health Effects
Turbidity: Turbidity is the measurement used to describe the cloudiness of water. Turbidity has no health effects. However, turbidity can
interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth. Turbidity may indicate the presence of disease-causing organisms.
Total Organic Carbon. Total organic carbon has no health effects. However, total organic carbon provides a medium for the formation of
disinfection byproducts. These byproducts include Trihalo methanes (THMs) and Haloacetic acids (HAAs). Drinking water containing
these byproducts in excess of the MCL may lead to adverse health effects, liver or kidney problems, or nervous system effects, and may
lead to an increased risk of getting cancer.
Copper: Copper is an essential nutrient, but some people who drink water containing copper in excess of the action level over a relatively
short period of time could experience gastrointestinal distress. Some people who drink water containing copper in excess of the action level
over many years could suffer liver or kidney damage. People with Wilson's Disease should consult their personal doctor. When your water
has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for copper exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes
before using water for drinking or cooking.
Fluoride: 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. Children may get mottled teeth.
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 line and home plumbing. The City of Forsyth Water
System 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.
Haloacetic Acids, Some people who drink water containing Haloacetic acids in excess of the MCL over many years may have an increased
risk of getting cancer. It is otherwise noted, that the City of Forsyth experienced an individual MCL exceedance for Haloacetic Acids.
The fourth quarter of 2021 (December 2021 was the actual sampling month) yielded a haloacetic acid concentration of 61ppb with the
MCL(Maximum Contaminant Level) set at 60ppb by the EPA. To prevent any additional occurrences, additional flushing has been
implemented to ensure “fresh” water throughout the distribution system, as well as additional reservoir treatment to minimize the
influence and presence of organic matter within our drinking water source.
Total Trihaloiucthanes. 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.
Free Residual Chlorine: The portion of available chlorine remaining in the water after disinfection has occurred. It is important lo have a free
chlorine residual in the distribution system all the way to the customers tap. This protects the consumer from the introduction of microbes
after the water treatment plant process. Some people who use water containing chlorine well in excess of the MRDL could experience
irritating effects to theirs eyes and nose, as well as stomach discomfort.
Sodium: Sodium salts are found in virtually all food (the main source of daily exposure) and drinking water. Sodium levels in the latter are
typically less than 20 mg/litre. The City of Forsyth's water supply was analyzed and found to be at 9.4 mg/L. It is generally agreed that
sodium is essential to human life, but on the basis of existing data, no firm conclusions can be drawn concerning the possible health effects
of sodium in drinking-water. However, sodium may affect the taste of drinking-water at levels above about 200 mg/L.
Manganese: Manganese is one of the most abundant metals in Earth's crust and is naturally occurring in surface water. Manganese is
essential to the proper functioning of humans. Manganese is an essential element utilized by antioxidants. It should be noted that the
presence of manganese in drinking-water will be objectionable to consumers if the manganese is deposited in water mains and causes a
darkening discoloration in the water. Concentrations below 0.05 mg/1 are usually acceptable to consumers.
This water quality report was prepared by H20 Innovation, as a service to the City of Forsyth.
