IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
Este
informe
contiene información muy importante
sobre su
agua potable.
Por favor hable con
alguien que
lo pueda
tradúcir.
East Niles
Community Services
District Water
System Has
levels of
1,2,3-TCP Above
Drinking Water
Standards
Our water
system recently
failed a
drinking
water
standard.
Although this is
not an emergency,
as our customers,
you
have a
right to
know what you
should
do,
what happened,
and what
we are
doing
to correct
this situation.
We
routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants. The
standard for 1,2,3- Trichloropropane
(1,2,3-TCP)
is equivalent to 0.005
ug/L (micrograms per liter).
Testing results from
May 2021 to November 2022 show that
a well in
our system exceeds the
standard, or maximum
contaminant level
(MCL), for
1,2,3-trichloropropane
(1,2,3-TCP).
The
average level
of 1,2,3-TCP since May of
2021 was 0.007 ug/L
at one well.
What should
I do?
• You do not need to use an alternative (e.g., bottled) water supply.
•
This is not
an immediate
risk.
If it
had
been,
you
would have been
notified immediately.
However,
some people
who drink
water containing 1,
2,3-trichloropropane
in excess
of the
MCL over
many years may
have an
increased risk
of getting
cancer.
•
If
you have
other health
issues
concerning the
consumption of
this water,
you
may
wish
to consult your
doctor.
1,2,3-TCP was an unnecessary impurity in soil fumigants applied in the southern area of the District from the 1950's-1980's. The 1,2,3-TCP has now contaminated our groundwater supply. East Niles Community Services District began voluntarily monitoring for 1,2,3-TCP several years ago, and completed an engineering study of treatment options in 2017. The District has pursued damages in litigation against the fumigant manufacturers whose products are responsible for the contamination in order to fund the treatment. The District has awarded a contract to construct treatment facilities to remove 1,2,3-TCP from the water. In the meantime, the District will be minimizing the use of the affected well during the construction of the treatment facility. There has been a delay in constructing the treatment facility due to COVID-19 related impacts for delivery of some materials. We anticipate resolving the problem by early 2023.
