WATER BLENDING PROJECT - COMPLETE - ARSENIC LEVEL DOWN

This Project is a huge success!

The Project of getting Well #4 On-line and connected into the Water System has been completed.  A special thanks to Fulkerson Pump Service and Water Manager, Terry Patton.

The water we receive now is a "blend" of water from Well #4 and Well #5.

The Arsenic Level of this blended water is only 5.4/ppb, which is far below the EPA acceptable level of 10.0/ppb.

President

Arsenic Level Update

The April 2016 Water Test of Well #5 reported on May 3, 2016 indicates the level of Arsenic is now 9.0 which is below the EPA Standard limit of 10.0.

Work on Well #4 will continue with an ultimate goal of blending water from the two Wells together.  This will further dilute the Arsenic Level.

The Water remains safe to drink.
