Also, this increase would cover the two SRO positions in the Police Department and a Finance Officer position.

Johnston County Landfill will have an increase this coming year.

Aftera brief discussion, it was the consensus of the Board to go forward with the vehicle purchases. Next, the Board reviewed the new positions and salary; the consensus of the Board was to go forward with the SRO positions due to most of the cost will be reimbursed to the Town. The Board then agreed the Finance Officer position would not be needed as they expect the Town Administrator to be trained The Board discussed hiring Brad Thompson, the Code Enforcement Officer, full-time to take some oft the Land Use responsibilities from the Town Administrator allowing him more time for financing. It was recommended by TAI King that all employees receive a 5% COLA increase; the Board discussed the steadily increasing cost of living and came to a consensus to increase the COLA to 8%. The Board also agreed to give the Town Clerk additional compensation due to her expanded job duties and and educated to do this task. responsibilities. The Board was in agreement with the garbage, water, and sewer rate increased due to this would offset the. Johnston County cost.

What EPA Wants You to Know Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts ofs some contaminants. The presence ofcontaminants 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 whol have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or otheri 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. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Chryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Ifpresent, 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 Princeton 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. Ifyou 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 The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over thes surface of thel 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 bep present in source wateri 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 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 bet the result of oil and gas production and mining Inc 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 waters systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants inl bottled water, which must provide the same 4791). available from the Safe Drinking Waterl Hotline or at! htp/yww.pa.govisafewater/lead. activities. protection for public health.

The purpose oft the assessments was to determine the susceptibility of each drinking water source (well or surface water intake) to Potential Contaminant Sources (PCSs). The results oft the assessment are available in SWAP. Assessment Reports that include maps, background information and ar relative The relative susceptibility rating of each source for. Johnston Co.) East was determined by combining the contaminant rating (number and location ofPCSs within the assessment area) andt thei inherent vulnerability rating (i.e., characteristics or existing conditions oft the well or watershed and its delineated assessment area). The assessment findings are summarized in the table below: susceptibility rating of Higher, Moderate or Lower.

The tables below list all the drinking water contaminants that we detected in the last round of sampling for each particular contaminant group. Thej presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses al health risk. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this tablei is from testing done. January 1 through December. 31, 2022. The EPA and the State allow us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. Some of the data, though representative oft the water quality, is more than one year old.
