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. Immuno-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 bey particularly at risk from infections. These people should: seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Ifj 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 Town of Four Oaks is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety ofi materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been: sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushingyour tap for 30 seconds to 21 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking, Ifyou are concerned about lead in your water, you may wisht tol have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells, As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring: minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the 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 be 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 of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses; organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are 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 gas production and mining In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same  4791).  isa available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at htp:/www.epa.govsafewater/lead.  activities.  protection for public health,  When You Turn on Your Tap, Consider the Source  The water that is used by this system is purchased from Johnston County East (40-51-018) which uses thel Neuse River as its source. Johnston County also purchases bulk water: from the" Town of Smithfield (03-51-010) which uses thel Neuse River asi its source, and  from Harnett Regional Water (03-43-045) which uses the Cape Fear River as its source.  12/2023    Source Water Assessment Program (SWAP) Results  The North Carolina! Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Public Water Supply (PWS) Section, Source Water Assessment Program (SWAP) conducted: assessments for all drinking waler sources across Norih Carolina. The purpose of the: assessments was lodetermine thes susceplibilily of each drinking waler source (well or sur lacc waier intake) lo Polcntial Coniaminant Sources (PCSs). The resulis of (he assessment are available in SWAP Assessment Reporis thai include maps, background information and a relalive The relative susceptibility rating of each source: for Four Oaks was determined by combining the contaminant rating (number and location ofPCSs within the assessment area) and thei inherent vulnerability rating (i.e., characteristics or existing conditions oft the well or watershed andi its delineated assessment area). The assessment findings are summarized in the table below:  susceptibility rating of Higher, Moderate or Lower.  Susceptibility of Sources to Potential Contaminant Sources (PCSs)  Water Provider Johnston County East Johnston County West Town of Smithfield  Source Name Neuse River Neuse River Neuse River  Susceptibility Rating Higher Higher Higher  SWAP Report Date September 2020 September 2020 September 2020  The complete SWAP Assessment report for Four Oaks may be viewed on the Web at: htps/www.newater.or/page-600 Note that because SWAP results and reports are periodically updated by the PWS: Section, the results available on this web site may differ from thei results that were available at the time this CCR was prepared. Ifyou are unable to access your SWAP report on they web, you may mail a written request for aj printed copy to: Source Water Assessment Program - Report Request, 1634 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC27699-1634, or email requests to swap@nedenr.goy. Please indicate yours system name, number, and provide your name, mailing address andj phone number. Ifyou have any questions about the SWAP report please contact the Source Water Itisi important to understand that as susceptibility rating of "higher" does not imply poor water quality, only the system's 's potential to  Assessment: staff by phone at 919-707-9098. become contaminated by PCSs in the assessment area. Help Protect Your Source Water.  Protection of drinking wateri is everyone's responsibility. We have implemented the following source water protection actions: You can help protect your community's drinking water source(s) in several ways: (examples: dispose of chemicals properly; take used motor oil to a recycling center, volunteer in your community to participate in group efforts toj protect your source, etc.).  Violations that Your Water System Received for the Report Year  During 2023, or during any compliance period that ended in 2023, we received two MCL, LRAA violations that covered the time period of1/1-3/9/23 and 4/1-6/14/23.

Results ofr regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health standards.

The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this tablei is from testing done. January 1 through December 31, 2023. The EPA and the State allow us toi monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from  year toy year.
