CONSERVING OUR PRECIOUS RESOURCE Outdoor Water Use Information The Georgia Water Stewardship Act went into effect statewide on June 2, 2010. We are currently under non-drought conditions. It allows daily outdoor watering for purposes of planting, growing, managing, or maintaining ground cover, trees, shrubs, or other plants only between the hours of 4 p.m. and 10 a.m. by anyone whose water is supplied by a water system permitted by the Environmental Protection Division. The following outdoor water uses also are allowed daily at any time of the day by anyone: Commercial agricultural operations as defined in Code Section 1-3-3; Capture and reuse of cooling system condensate or storm water in compliance with applicable local ordinances and state guidelines; Reuse of gray water in compliance with Code Section 31-3-5.2 and applicable local board of health regulations adopted pursuant thereto; Use of reclaimed waste water by a designated user from a system permitted by the Environmental Protection Division of the department to provide reclaimed waste water; Irrigation of personal food gardens; Irrigation of new and replanted plant, seed, or turf in landscapes, golf courses, or sports turf fields during installation and for a period of 30 days immediately following the date of installation; Drip irrigation or irrigation using soaker hoses; Hand-watering with a hose with automatic cutoff or handheld container; Use of water withdrawn from private water wells or surface water by an owner or operator of property if such well or surface water is on said property; Irrigation of horticultural crops held for sale, resale, or installation; Irrigation of athletic fields, goif courses, or public turf grass recreational areas; Installation, maintenance, or calibration of irrigation systems; or Hydro-seeding. You can access more information on the internet at: ittpsllepd.georgia.gov/non-drought-ourdoor-ater-use-schedule Information on Waviers granted by Georgia Environmental Protection Division for Harris County Drinking Water Monitoring. As authorized by Georgia EPD, our system has reduced monitoring requirements for certain contaminants to less often than once per year because the concentration of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. On November gth 2022, The GA EPD granted Harris County Water Works a waiver to monitor for: All synthetic organic compounds (SOCs): Alachor, Aldicarb Sulfone, Aldicarb Sulfoxide, Atrazine, Benzo (A) Pyrene, Charbofuran, Chloradane, Dalapon, Di (2-Ethylhexy!) Adipate, Dbromochloropropane (DBCP), Dinoseb, Diquat, Di (2-Ethylhexy!) Phthalate, Endothall, Endrin, Ethylene Dibromide (EDB), Glyphosate, Heptachlor, Heptachlor Epoxide, Hexachlorobenzene, escorodbpentadlen. Lindane, Methoxychlor, Oxymyl (Vydate), Pentachlorophenol, Picloram, Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), Simazine, 2, 4-D, Toxaphene, 2,4 5 -TP (Silvex), 2,3,7,8 TCDD (Dioxin). and the Inorganic Compounds Asbestos and Cyanide. This wavier is in effect from January 1, 2023 until December 31, 2025. PROTECTING OUR PRECIOUS RESOURCE Harris County Water Works has participated in the Middle Chattahoochee River Watershed Study. This study was prepared to provide water quality data and other pertinent information to produce a Source Water Protection Plan in accordance to rules and regulations required by the United States Environmental Protection Division. Source Water Assessment and Protection Programs (SWAPs) provide for a more secure and safe drinking water supply. This plan was achieved in four steps: delineation of the assessment area, inventory of potential contaminant sources, assessment ofa water supply's susceptibility to the potential pollutants, and development of protection strategies. Regional protection measures include a proposed organization for policy development, monitoring and communication networks within the Middle Chattahoochee River Watershed. The scope for this project includes all major surface water systems along the Chattahoochee River Watershed between West Point Dam and the City of Columbus, Georgia, including: Harris County Water Works, Cataula Georgia Columbus Water Works, Columbus Georgia City of West Point, West Point, Georgia Chattahoochee Valley Water Supply District, Lanett, Alabama Opelika Water Works, Opelika, Alabama Smiths Water and Sewer Authority, Smiths, Alabama Phenix City Utilities, Phenix City, Alabama Harris County Water Works has 107 potential pollution sources. Less than 3% of these sources have a medium-high priority for potential pollution. The remaining sources have a low or medium priority. Harris County Water System's overall susceptibility score is low. All but one of the medium- high priority potential pollution sources are Water/Waste Water facilities, and they have permits to discharge by their regulatory agencies. The remaining medium-high priority potential pollution source has a low Release Duration/Frequency potential for pollution. This plan is available for review at the Harris County Water Works office at: 11505 Ga Hwy 315 Cataula, Georgia 31804, or call (706) 324-1175 for more information. We try to protect our water supplies and consumers by some ofthe following methods: > Harris County Water Works employees and local law enforcement are aware oft the potential for vandalism and constantly monitor all water storage tank accesses, including fences, to insure that they are properly secured. > Requiring prior notification before allowing access to the Water Filter Plant to persons other than employees of the Harris County Water Works. > Monitoring the water quality on a frequent basis all over the distribution system. Cooperation with other water departments and utilities to help prevent water loss or contamination. How Can You Help? 1. Notify thé Water Works of any unauthorized tampering of your metering equipment or use of fire hydrants. 2. Notify the Water Works ofany unusual water quality conditions such as tastes and odors or unusual colors or particles. 3. Have your hot water heater flushed and test the pressure relief valve annually. Together we can work to keep our water supply safe to drink for now and in the future.
