Annual Drinking Water Quality Report  Town ofMicro Water System Number: NC0351045  Estei informe contiene informacion muy importante sobre su agua potable. Traduzcalo 0 hable con We are pleased toj present to you this year's Annual Drinking Water Quality Report. This report is a snapshot of last year's water quality. Included are details about your source(s) ofwater, what it contains, and how it compares to standards set by regulatory agencies. Our constant goal is toj provide you with as safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources, We are committed to ensuring the quality ofyour water and1 toj providing: you with thisi information because informed customers are our best allies. Ifyou have any questions about this report or concerning: your water, please contact Ken Wall at 919-291-6300. We want our valued customers tol be informed about their water utility. Ifyou want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled  alguien que lo entienda bien.  meetings. They are held at town hall on the 2nd Tuesday at 7:00 pm.  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 thel Environmental. Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426- Some people may bei more vuinerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Iimmuno-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, andi infants can be particularly ati risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen thei risk of infection by Cryptosporidum and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline 800-426-4791). If present, elevated levels ofl lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Leadi in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Micro is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your waterl 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, your may wish tol have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the 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 oft thel land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring: minerals and, in some cases, 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 andi 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 of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, andi residential uses; organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products ofindustrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems; and radioactive contaminants, which can bei naturally-occurring or be thei 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).

Assessment Program (SWAP) conducted assessments for all drinking water sources across North Carolina. Thej purpose oft the assessments was to determine the susceptibility of each drinking waters source (well or surface water: intake) to Potential Contaminant Sources (PCSs). The results oft the assessment are available in SWAP. Assessment Reports thati include maps, background information and ai relative The relative susceptibility rating ofe each source: for Micro was determined by combining the contaminant rating (number and location of PCSs within the assessment area) andi 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)  Source Name Well#1 Well#3  Susceptibility Rating Moderate Moderate  SWAP Report Date September 2020 September 2020  The complete SWAP.

Traduzcalo o hable con We are pleased to present to you this year's Annual Drinking Water Quality Report. This report is a snapshot of last year's water quality. Included are details about your source(s) of water, what it contains, and how it compares to standards set by: regulatory agencies. Our constant goal ist toj provide you with a safe and dependable supply ofc drinking water. We want you to understand the efforts we: make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality ofy your water and toj providing you with this information becausei informed customers are our best allies. Ifyou) have any questions about this report or concerning your water, please contact Ken Wall: at 919-291-6300. We want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. Ifyou want tol learn more, please attend any ofour regularly scheduled  alguien que lo entienda bien.  meetings. They are held at townl hall on the 2nd Tuesday at 7:00 pm,  What EPA Wants You tol 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 thel Environmental. Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426- Some people may bei more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromsed persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons whol have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, andi infants can bej particularly at risk fromi infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water fromi 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). Ifp present, elevated levels of lead can cause: serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Leadi in drinking wateri is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Micro (County Line) isr responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety ofmaterials usedi inj plumbing components. When your water has been sitting fors several hours, you can minimize thej potential for lead exposure by flushing, your tap for 30 seconds to 21 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. Ifyou: are conçerned about lead inj 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 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-occuing: minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick ups substances resulting from the presence ofa animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include misrobialcontaminants, 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 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 septics systems; and radioactive contaminants, which can bei naturally-occurring or be thei result of oil and gas production and mining Inc 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).  available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at httpil/www.epagovlsafewater/lead.  activities.  protection: for public health.  When You' Turn on Your Tap, Consider the Source The water thati is used by this system is purchased from Johnston County East.  12/2023    Source Water Assessment Program (SWAP) Results  The North Carolina Department ofl Environmental Quality (DEQ), Public Water Supply (PWS) Section, Source Water. Assessment Program (SWAP) conducted assessments fora all drinking water sources across North Carolina. Thej purpose of the assessments was to determine thes susceptibility of each drinking water source (well or surface water intake) tol Potential Contaminant Sources (PCSs). The results oft the assessment are available in SWAP Assessment Reports that include maps, background information and ai relative The relative susceptibility rating of each source for. Johnston County East was determined by combining the contaminant rating (number and location ofl PCSs within the assessment. area) and thei inherent vulnerability rating (i.e., characteristics or existing conditions of the well or watershed andi its delineated assessment area). The assessment findings are summarized in the table below:  susceptibility rating of Higher, Moderate orl Lower.  Susceptibility of Sources to) Potential Contaminant Sources (PCSs)  Source Name Neuse River  Susceptibility Rating Higher  SWAP Report Date September 2020  The complete SWAP Assessment report for. Johnston County East may be viewed on the Web at:  Attps/www.ncwater.org/page-s00 Note that because SWAPI results and reports are periodically updated by thel PWS Section, the results available on this web site may differ from the results that were available at thet time this CCR was prepared. Ifyou are unable toa açcess your SWAP report on the web, youi may mail a written request for aj printed copy to: Source Water Assessment Program - Report Request, 16341 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC: 27699-1634, or email requests tos swap@ncdenr. gov. Please indicate your system name, number, andj provide your name, mailing address and phoner number. Ifyou! have any questions about the SWAP Itisi important to understand that as susceptibility rating of"higher" does not imply poor water quality, only the system's potential to  report please contact the Source Water. Assessment staff by phone at 919-707-9098.  become contaminated by PCSsi in the assessment area. Help Protect Your Source Water  Protection of drinking water is everyone's responsibility. We havei implemented thei 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 toar recycling center, volunteer in your community toj 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 al LCN (3/2); LRAA: MCL (6/14; 9/8; 12/13) violation that covered thet time period of 1/1-12/13).
