What EPA Wants You to Know  Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses al health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection. Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426- Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. mmuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, andi infants can bej particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means tol lessen the risk of infection by Chyptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safel Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Ifp 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. Town of Bunn is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used inj plumbing components. When your water has been sitting fors several hours, you can minimize the potential forl lead exposure by flushing: your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. Ifyou are concerned about leadi in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on leadi in drinking water, testing methods, ands steps you can take to minimize exposure is Thes sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include: rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from thej presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may bej present in source water include microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come: from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife; inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can bei naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming; pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety ofs sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater: runoff, and residential uses; organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which arel by-products ofi industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come: from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems; and radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and production and In order to ensure that tap wateri is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems.

When You Turn on Your Tap, Consider the Source Source Water Assessment Program (SWAP) Results  The water that is used by this system is purchased from Franklin County Utilities, NC02-35-030.  12/2023    Thel North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Public Water Supply (PWS) Section, Source Water Assessment Program (SWAP) conducted assessments for all drinking water sources across North Carolina. Thep purpose of the assessments was to determine thes susceptibility of each drinking water source (well or surface wateri intake) tol Potential Contaminant Sources (PCSs). Ther results oft the assessment are available in SWAP. Assessment Reports thati include maps, background information and ai relative Thei relative susceptibility rating of each source forl Bunn was determined by combining the contaminant rating (number and location ofF PCSs within the assessment area) and thei inherent vulnerability rating (i.e., characteristics or existing conditions of the well or  susceptibility rating of Higher, Moderate or Lower.  watershed andi its delineated assessment area).
