We're very pleased to provide you with our ninth Annual Quality Water Report.
We're very proud that your drinking water continues to meet or exceed all Federal and State requirements.

Our Goal

Is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water at the lowest rate possible.

Our Resources

Our wells draw from the Stockton Formation, which is a very productive aquifer. During 2006, we purchased 5.1% of our water from North Wales Water Authority and the Municipal Authority of Upper Southampton. Reports provided by these water systems indicate that they also meet or exceed water quality standards.

We Want You to Know

We work around the clock to provide top quality water to every tap. This report shows our monitoring results for the period of January 1 to December 31. We routinely monitor for constituents in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. All drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some constituents. It’s important to remember that the presence of these constituents does not necessarily pose a health risk. MCL’s are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated constituents, a person would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect. 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. We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life, and our children’s future.

Our Thanks

Thank you for allowing us to continue to provide your family with clean, quality water again this year. As you know, in order for us to maintain a safe and dependable water supply, we sometimes need to make improvements that will benefit all of our customers. These improvements are sometimes reflected as rate structure adjustments, and we thank you for understanding.

For Your Information

As you can see from the following table (Click Here), our system had no violations. We’re proud that your drinking water meets or exceeds all Federal and State Requirements. We have learned through our monitoring and testing that some constituents have been detected. The EPA has determined that your water IS SAFE at these levels. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemo-therapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or 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 microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791).
