IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER LEVELS OF HALOACETIC ACIDS ABOVE DRINKING WATER STANDARDS FOR NAPOLEON COMMUNITY RURAL WATER CORP. Our water system recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened, what you should do, and what we are doing to correct this situation. We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. The results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets EPA's health standards. The results that we received for Haloacetic Acids for the last monitoring period show that our system currently exceeds the standard(s), or Maximum Contaminant Level(s) (MCL). The MCL for Haloacetic Acids is 60 ug/L. As of 12/31/2015, a locational running annual average is 64.9 ug/L. What should I do? You do not need to use an alternative (e.g., bottled) water supply. However, if you have specific health concerns, consult your doctor. What does this mean? Some people who drink water containing Haloacetic acids (HAA) in excess of the MCL over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer. What happened? We did not flush enough to replace the older water in the outer ends of the system. What is being done? We will continue to flush on a regular schedule to stay in compliance, and expect to be in compliance for the 1/1/2016 to 3/31/2016 period. For more information, please contact our Superintendent Gene Eaton at 812-852-4374 or P. O. Box 107, 8977 N US 421, Napoleon IN 47034.
