LEAD & COPPER RULE MONITORING AND REPORTING VIOLATION
MANDATORY LANGUAGE – TIER III
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
__________The City of Everman _ has violated the monitoring and reporting
requirements set by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) in Chapter 30,
Section 290, Subchapter F. Even though these were not emergencies, as our customers, you
have the right to know what happened and what we are doing (or did) to correct these
situations.
We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular
basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water
meets health standards. During June1 – September 30, 2016 we did not complete all monitoring
or testing for Lead & Copper and therefore cannot be sure of the quality of your drinking water
during that time.
The table below lists the contaminant(s) we did not properly test for during the last year,
how often we are supposed to sample for Lead & Copper, how many samples we are
supposed to take, how many samples we took, when samples should have been taken, and
the date on which the follow-up samples were [or will be] taken.
