January 13, 2021 - Template 3-1B Important information about your drinking water monitoring requirements not met for East Lamar WSC:
Our system failed to collect every required coliform sample. Although this incident was not an emergency, as our customers, you have the right to know what happened and what we did (are doing) to correct this situation.
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 [compliance period month(s)] we ['did not monitor or test' or 'did not complete all monitoring or testing'] for coliform bacteria and therefore cannot be sure of the quality of your drinking water during that time.
What should I do?
There is nothing you need to do at this time. You may continue to drink the water. If a situation arises where the water is no longer safe to drink, we are required to notify you within 24 hours.
What is being done?
We collected every required coliform sample in November and December in 2020, and are no longer in violation.
For more information, please contact: Janice Butler at 936-598-9780, or P.O. Box 16, Center, Texas 75935.
