When a consecutive system sells water to another community water system, the seller must provide all applicable information in 42.3(3) to the CWS buying the water from them.
* The MCL for that contaminant, expressed as a number equal to or greater than 1.0 (as provided in Appendix C);
* The MCLG for that contaminant, expressed in the same units as the MCL;
* If there is no MCL for a detected contaminant, the table must indicate that there is a treatment technique, or specify the action level, applicable to that contaminant, and the report must include the definition for treatment technique or action level, as appropriate, specified in 42.3(3)"b " (4).
* When compliance with the MCL is determined annually or less frequently: the highest detected level at any sampling point and the range of detected levels expressed in the same units as the MCL (such as inorganic compounds).
* When compliance with the MCL is determined by calculating a running annual average of all samples taken at a sampling point: the highest average of any of the sampling points and the range of all sampling points expressed in the same units as the MCL (such as organic compounds and radionuclides). For TTHM and HAA5 MCLs, systems must include the highest locational running annual average for TTHM and HAA5 and the range of individual sample results for all monitoring locations expressed in the same units as the MCL. If more than one location exceeds the TTHM or HAA5 MCL, the system must include the locational running annual averages for all locations that exceed the MCL.
* When compliance with an MCL is determined on a system wide basis by calculating a running annual average of all samples at all sampling points: the average and range of detection expressed in the same units as the MCL.
Note: When rounding of results to determine compliance with the MCL is allowed by the regulations, rounding should be done prior to multiplying the results by the factor listed in Appendix C.
* The length of the violation,
* The potential adverse health effects,
* Actions taken by the system to address the violation, and
* The relevant language from Appendix C to describe the potential health effects.
* Must include in its report a short information statement about arsenic, using language such as: While your drinking water meets EPA's standard for arsenic, it does contain low levels of arsenic. EPA's standard balances the current understanding of arsenic's possible health effects against the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water. EPA continues to research the health effects of low levels of arsenic, which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at high concentrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory problems.
* May write its own educational statement, but only in consultation with the department.
"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 material and components associated with service lines and home plumbing,[insert name of system] 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 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 (800)426-4791 or at www.epa.gov/safewater/lead ."
* The nature of the particular significant deficiency and the date the significant deficiency was identified by the department; and
* For each significant deficiency, the department-approved plan and schedule for correction, including interim measures, progress to date, and any interim measures completed.
Only if directed by the department, a system with significant deficiencies that have been corrected before the next report is issued must inform its customers of the significant deficiency, how the deficiency was corrected, and the date of correction.
* The source of the fecal contamination (if the source is known) and the dates of the fecal indicator-positive groundwater source samples;
* Whether the fecal contamination in the groundwater source has been addressed under 567-paragraph 41.7(4)"a" and the date of such action;
* For each fecal contamination in the groundwater source that has not been addressed under 567-paragraph 41.7(4)"a," the department-approved plan and schedule for correction, including interim measures, progress to date, and any interim measures completed; and
* If the system receives notice of a fecal indicator-positive groundwater source sample that is not invalidated by the department under 567-paragraph 41.7(3)"d, " the potential health effects, using the "Fecal coliform orE. coli or "Fecal Indicators (enterococci or coliphage)" health effects language of Appendix C in Chapter 42.
* During the past year, we failed to conduct all of the required assessment(s).
* During the past year, we failed to correct all identified defects that were found during the assessment.
* We failed to conduct the required assessment.
* We failed to correct all sanitary defects that were identified during the assessment that we conducted.
