Description of the Violation

Anderson County Water Authority failed to provide public notice within twelve months for trihalomethane and Haloacetic Acids sampling outside designated window.

When the Violation Occurred

The required samples were not collected during the first quarter of 2024 during the sample window but were collected during the quarter.

Potential Adverse Health Effects

TTHM: Some people who drink water containing trihalomethanes over the MCL over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidneys, or central nervous system, and may have an increased risk of cancer.
HAA5: Some people who drink water containing Haloacetic Acids over the MCL over many years may also have an increased risk of cancer.

Population at Risk

However, infants, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems may be more susceptible to the effects of these contaminants.

Use of Alternative Water Supplies

Currently, alternative water supplies are not necessary. This notice is precautionary due to a missed monitoring requirement, not a confirmed exceedance of contaminant levels.

Recommended Consumer Actions

If you have specific health concerns, especially if you are in a vulnerable group, you may wish to consult your healthcare provider.

Corrective Actions

We are taking steps to ensure that all future monitoring requirements are met, including:
- Reviewing and updating our sampling schedule.
- Providing additional training for staff.
- Coordinating with our laboratory to ensure timely sample collection and analysis.

Expected Resolution

We expect to return to full compliance by the next monitoring period.
