TOWN OF PEACHLAND TEST RESULTS
The Town of Peachland routinely
monitors for contaminants in your
drinking water, according to Federal
and State laws also. 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
protection for public health:' It's'
important to remember that the
presence of these contaminates does
not necessarily pose a health risk.
This report describes the monitoring
for the period of January 1st to
December 31st, 2001. We are proud to
report that the Town of Peachland had
no detects or violations and that your
water meets or exceeds all Federal and
State requirements. The following tests
were performed: monthly
Bacteriologicals, Lead & Copper series,
and an annual Total Trihalomethanes.
All results were negative, NO
DETECTS were noted. •
Some people may be .more vulnerable
to contaminants in drinking water than
the general population. Immune -
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, and
infants can be particularly at risk
from infections. These people should
seek 'advice about drinking water
from their health care providers.
More information about
contaminants and potential health
effects is available by calling the
Environmental Protection Agency's
Safe Drinking Water Hotline at
