The source of our water is groundwater. Our groundwater is drawn from the Cretaceous (Dakota Sandstone) aquifer(s). Our water quality testing shows the following results: Note: Contaminants with dates indicate results from the most recent testing done in accordance with regulations. DEFINITIONS • Maximum Contaminant 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 Contaminant 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. • ppb -- parts per billion. • ppm -- parts per million. • pCi/L – picocuries per liter • N/A – Not applicable • ND -- Not detected • Treatment Technique (TT) – A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. • Action Level (AL) – The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. • 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 contaminants. • Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) - The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. GENERAL INFORMATION 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 posed a health risk. More information about contaminants or potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). 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/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 (800-426-4791). 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 City of Lake City 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 the 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. CONTAMINANT VIOLATIONS None OTHER VIOLATIONS None SOURCE WATER ASSESSMENT INFORMATION The City of Lake City water supply obtains its water from the Cretaceous (Dakota Sandstone) aquifer. The Cretaceous (Dakota Sandstone) aquifer was determined to be not susceptible to contamination because the characteristics of the aquifer and overlying materials prevent easy access of contaminants to the aquifer. The wells will not be susceptible to most contaminant sources except through pathways to the aquifer such as abandoned or poorly maintained wells. A detailed evaluation of your source water was completed by the IDNR, and is available from The City of Lake City at (712)464-3111. OTHER INFORMATION Our water utility is making every effort to protect the water system from potential security threats. You, as customers, can also help. If you see any suspicious activity near the water tower, treatment plant, wells or fire hydrants, please contact us at (712)464-3111 or the local police/sheriff department at 911. We appreciate your assistance in protecting the water system. CONTACT INFORMATION For questions regarding this information, please contact Jim Janssen at (712)464-3111 during the following hours: 7:30-4:00pm M-F. Decisions regarding the water system are made at the City Council meetings held on the first and third Mondays of each month at 6:30 p.m. at City Council Chambers and are open to the public. Please note: This report will not be mailed to individual customers. A copy of this report can be obtained at City Hall 105 N. Center st. Lake City, Iowa 51449 between the hours of 7:30 and 4:00pm.
