LEAD & COPPER RULE MONITORING AND REPORTING VIOLATION MANDATORY LANGUAGE – TIER III

by

LEAD & COPPER RULE MONITORING AND REPORTING VIOLATION
MANDATORY LANGUAGE – TIER III

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
City of Gladewater has violated the monitoring and reporting requirements set by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) in Chapter 30, Section 290, Subchapter F. Even though these were not emergencies, as our customers, you have the right to know what happened and what we are doing (or did) to correct these situations.
We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health standards. During June 30, 2017 to Sept. 30, 2017 and June 30, 2018 to Sept. 30, 2018 we did not monitor or test for lead and copper and therefore cannot be sure of the quality of your drinking water during that time.
The table below lists the contaminant(s) we did not properly test for during the last year, how often we are supposed to sample for lead and copper, how many samples we are supposed to take, how many samples we took, when samples should have been taken, and the date on which the follow-up samples were [or will be] taken.

What is being done?
We are working to correct the problem. For more information, please contact Steven Matlock at 903-844-6331.

TCEQ Notice 12/11/2019

by

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ} has notified the CITY OF GLADEWATER TX0920001 that the drinking water being supplied to customers had exceeded the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for total trihalomethanes. The U.S Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) has established the MCL for total trihalomethanes to be 0.080 milligrams per liter (mg/L) based on locational running annual average (LRAA), and has determined that it is a health concern at levels above the MCL Analysis of drinking water in your community for total trihalomethanes indicates a compliance value in quarter for 2018 of 0.086 mg/L for DBP2-01 and 0.081 mg/L for DBP2-02.
Trihalomethanes are a group of volatile organic compounds that are formed when chlorine, added to the water during the treatment process for disinfection, reacts with naturally­ occurring organic matter in the water.
Some people who drink water containing trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidney, or central nervous systems, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer.
You do not need to use an alternative water supply. However, if you have health concerns, you may want to talk to your doctor to get more information about how this may affect you.

We are taking the following actions to address this issue:

1. Increased distribution flushing
2. Water treatment plant adjustments made
3. Increased sample testing

Please share this information with all people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (i.e., people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, you may contact Steve Matlock at
903-844-6331.

TCEQ Public Education Requirement – Lead Copper Rule for Community Water Systems

by

Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
Lead Copper Rule for Community Water Systems

Lead Exceedance Public Education Requirements FOR COMMUNITIES
The City of Gladewater found elevated levels of lead in drinking water in the building(s) or residences during June through September 2018. Lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Please read this information closely to see what you can do to reduce lead in your drinking water.
This notice is being sent to you by The City of Gladewater, Texas State Water System ID # 092001 on November 26, 2018.
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and The City of Gladewater are concerned about lead in your drinking water. Although most sinks had low levels of lead in the drinking water, some had high lead levels above the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) action level of 15 parts per billion (ppb), or 0.015 milligrams of lead per liter of water (mg/L).
Please note, this is not a violation under federal or state law, it does however, prompt The City of Gladewater to have post Lead Public Education and if found to have a high level reading in subsequent sampling, a program in place to minimize lead in your drinking water. This program may include adding corrosion control treatment, source water treatment, and if necessary replacing lead service lines. If you have any questions about how we are carrying out the requirements of the lead regulation, please give us a call at 903-844-6331.

This document explains the simple steps you can take to protect you and your family by reducing your exposure to lead in drinking water while in The City of Gladewater homes(s). More Information and Original Notice:
