What the violations mean
Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs)
5 incidentsDisinfection byproduct levels exceeded the federal limit
Long-term TTHM exposure may increase bladder cancer risk
Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule
5 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
CARBON, TOTAL
5 incidentsThe system did not complete a treatment step or action that federal rules require for CARBON, TOTAL (a treatment technique violation).
The utility had to notify customers about each of these violations.
Where the water comes from
Krebs Utility Authority draws water from 1 surface water intake.
Annual water quality report
Krebs Utility Authority 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.
