What the violations mean
Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs)
7 incidentsDisinfection byproduct levels exceeded the federal limit
Long-term TTHM exposure may increase bladder cancer risk
Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule
6 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)
4 incidentsHaloacetic acid byproducts exceeded the federal limit
Long-term exposure to HAAs may increase cancer risk
Surface Water Treatment Rule
2 incidentsThe system did not complete a treatment step or action that the Surface Water Treatment Rule requires (a treatment technique violation).
The utility had to notify customers about each of these violations.
Chlorite
1 incidentTest results for Chlorite were above the federal limit (a maximum contaminant level violation).
The utility had to notify customers about this violation.
Where the water comes from
Maysville PWS draws water from 1 surface water intake and 1 reservoir.
Annual water quality report
Maysville PWS 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.
