What the violations mean

Haloacetic Acids (HAA5)

30 incidents

Haloacetic acid byproducts exceeded the federal limit

Long-term exposure to HAAs may increase cancer risk

Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule

16 incidents

The system did not meet a filtration or treatment requirement for surface water

Inadequate treatment of surface water can let pathogens such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia through

Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs)

11 incidents

Disinfection byproduct levels exceeded the federal limit

Long-term TTHM exposure may increase bladder cancer risk

Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule

7 incidents

The system failed required surface water treatment or filtration standards

Untreated or inadequately treated surface water can contain bacteria and viruses

Where the water comes from

Pendleton Water Association draws water from 1 surface water intake.

Annual water quality report

Pendleton Water Association must give its customers an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report) by July 1, with the levels its tests found in the previous year.

Where the state allows it, systems serving fewer than 10,000 people may publish the report in a local newspaper or news site instead of mailing it, and must provide a copy on request.

Find a posted report with EPA's Consumer Confidence Report search

Testing your own water

To test the water at your tap, or a private well this record does not cover, use a laboratory certified for drinking water by Louisiana.
