The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has notified the CITY OF LA FERIA TX0310003 that the drinking water being supplied to customers had exceeded the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for total trihalomethanes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) has established the MCL for total trihalomethanes to be 0.080 milligrams per liter (mg/L) based on locational running annual average (LRAA), and has determined that it is a health concern at levels above the MCL. Analysis of drinking water in your community for total trihalomethanes indicates a compliance value in quarter four 2016 of 0.085 mg/L for DBP2-02. Trihalomethanes are a group of volatile organic compounds that are formed when chlorine, added to the water during the treatment process for disinfection, reacts with naturallyoccurring organic matter in the water. Some people who drink water containing trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidney, or central nervous systems, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer. You do not need to use an alternative water supply. However, if you have health concerns, you may want to talk to your doctor to get more information about how this may affect you.

We are taking the following actions to address this issue: The System has continued flushing frequently at strategic locations. TTHM levels are monitored internally in addition to TCEQ required samples, and the results ARE IN COMPLIANCE. The System will continue to monitor levels, flush accordingly, and work with TCEQ to bring the Locational Running Annual Average (LRAA) back into compliance. If you have any questions regarding this matter, you may contact Walter Hinkle at 956797-2261.
