What the violations mean
Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule
32 incidentsThe 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
Haloacetic Acids (HAA5)
9 incidentsHaloacetic acid byproducts exceeded the federal limit
Long-term exposure to HAAs may increase cancer risk
Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs)
2 incidentsDisinfection byproduct levels exceeded the federal limit
Long-term TTHM exposure may increase bladder cancer risk
Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule
2 incidentsThe system failed required surface water treatment or filtration standards
Untreated or inadequately treated surface water can contain bacteria and viruses
Lead and Copper Rule
1 incidentThe system did not complete a treatment step or action that the Lead and Copper Rule requires (a treatment technique violation).

Where the water comes from
Franklin Water Supply draws water from 1 surface water intake.
Annual water quality report
Franklin Water Supply 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.
