Action Level
(AL): The
concentration of a contaminant, which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or
other requirements, which a water system must follow.

Initial
Distribution System Evaluation (IDSE):
IDSE
is an important part of the Stage 2 Disinfection By-Products Rule
(DBPR).  The IDSE is a one-time study
conducted by some water systems, providing disinfection or chlorination, to
identify distribution system locations with concentrations of trihalomethanes
(THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs).
Water systems will use results from the IDSE, in conjunction with
their Stage 1 DBPR compliance monitoring data, to select monitoring locations
for Stage 2 DBPR.  Not all water
systems were required to perform an IDSE.

Maximum
Contamination Level (MCL): 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 treatment technology.

Maximum
Contamination Level Goal (MCLG): 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.

Maximum
Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL): The highest level of disinfectant allowed in
drinking water.  There is convincing
evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of
microbial contaminants.

Maximum
Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG):
The
level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or
expected risk to health.  MRDLGs do not
reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial
contamination.

Treatment
Technique (TT): A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in
drinking water.

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 and Prevention (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to
lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium
and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking
Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791 or http://www.epa.gov/safewater/hotline/.                              

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 Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791 or
http://www.epa.gov/safewater/hotline/.

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 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.

Radioactive
contaminants,
which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production
and mining activities.

Lead Informational Statement (Health effects and ways
to reduce exposure)

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 utility named above 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 drinking 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 form the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
