Important Information About Your Drinking Water

Tests show levels of Arsenic above drinking water standards

Lake Lillian public water system routinely monitors for the presence of drinking water contaminants. Previous testing results show that the average level of arsenic was above the standard, or maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 µg/L. An MCL violation was issued for this system on 1/9/2019. Testing will continue the violation is resolved. Most recently, the average level of arsenic was 17.4 µg/L.

Arsenic occurs naturally through erosion of natural deposits, runoff from orchards, runoff from glass and electronics production wastes. Some people who drink water containing arsenic in excess of the MCL over many years could experience skin damage or problems with their circulatory system and may have an increased risk of getting cancer.

This is not an emergency. You do not need an alternative source of water, such as bottled water. However, if you have specific health concerns, consult your doctor. Home treatment units are available to reduce arsenic, which include water softening, reverse osmosis, and distillation. It is recommended that these home water treatment units be certified to ensure arsenic removal. The use of carbon filters is not recommended for removal of arsenic, as arsenic may accumulate in the filter over time.

Lake Lillian is exploring methods to reduce the level of arsenic, which may include an alternative water source or water treatment. Presently the City of Lake Lillian is in the testing phase of the water treatment plant. You will be informed when the public water system has reduced the level of arsenic and meets the standard.

Please share this information with all other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, prisons, clinics, hospitals and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
