What the violations mean
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
Haloacetic Acids (HAA5)
2 incidentsHaloacetic acid byproducts exceeded the federal limit
Long-term exposure to HAAs may increase cancer risk
Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule
1 incidentThe 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
Where the water comes from
Clay Water Dept draws water from 1 surface water intake. 4 other community water systems buy water from Clay Water Dept.
Community systems that buy water from it
- Clay Co P S D - Ivydale Clay, WV
- Clay Co P S D-Triplett Ridge Clay, WV
- Clay Co PSD-Hartland Clay, WV
- Clay-Roane PSD (Procious District) Procious, WV
Annual water quality report
Clay Water Dept 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.
