PUBLIC NOTICES INFORMATION FOR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS: Some people may be more vulnerable le to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons, such as persons undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with IDV/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. Federal guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidiurn and other microbiological contaminants are also available from EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline, (1-800-426-479 1). Effects of Lead in Drinking Water: 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 New Buffalo Water Department 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 at 1-800-426479 1 or at http://water.epa.gov/drink/ info/lead. The City of New Buffalo maintains a state certified microbiological laboratory that tests your water 365 days a year. If you have any questions concerning your water utility, or need a copy of this Water Quality Report mailed to you, please contact Mr. Ken Anderson, Water Superintendent, at (269) 469-0381 or by E-Mail @ nbcwaterdept@comcast.net. You may also attend our monthly City Council Meeting on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at 224 West Buffalo Street (New Buffalo City Hall). WATER QUALITY DATA The table below lists the EPA’s regulated and unregulated contaminants detected in The City of New Buffalo’s drinking water during 20 17. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented is from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 20 17. DEFINITIONS RAA—Running Annual Average. 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. Maximum Residual Level Goal (MRDLG)—The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there
is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLG’s do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.

AL (action level)—The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceed, triggers treatment or oilier requirements which a water system must follow. MCL—Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLG as feasible using the best available treatment technology. MCLG—Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) is 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. NTU—Nephelometric Turbidity Units ppb—Parts per billion ppm—Parts per million TT—Treatment Technique (IT) is a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. Unregulated Contaminants— Unregulated contaminants are those for which EPA bas not established drinking water standards. The purpose of the unregulated contaminant monitoring is to assist EPA in determining the occurrence of unregulated contaminants in drinking water and whether future regulation is warranted. 90th Percentile—90 percent of the samples were at or below the numbers listed. (Copper= 140 ppb, Lead= 7.4 ppb). N/A—Not applicable. *-Turbidity—Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of water. We monitor it because it is a good indicator of the effectiveness of our filtration system. 100 percent of our samples met the required limits of less than or equal to 0.30 NTU in 95% of samples taken each month and shall not exceed 1.0 NTU at any time. **-Lead & Copper—The state allows us to monitor for some contaminates less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently. Some of our data, though representative, may be more than one year old. Copper and lead samples were collected on 6-3-15 through 6-10-15. Infants and children who drink water containing lead in excess of the action level could experience delays in their physical or mental development Children could show slight deficits in attention span and learning abilities. Adults who drink this water over many years could develop kidney problems or high blood pressure. This concludes our report for the calendar year 2017. Your 2018 Water Quality Report can be expected before July 1, 2019.
