What the violations mean
CARBON, TOTAL
1 incidentThe 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 this violation.
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
Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs)
1 incidentDisinfection byproduct levels exceeded the federal limit
Long-term TTHM exposure may increase bladder cancer risk
Where the water comes from
Mountain Top PSD draws water from 2 surface water intakes (1 of them for emergency, seasonal or other part-time use). 1 smaller public system such as schools, businesses or campgrounds buys water from Mountain Top PSD.
Annual water quality report
Mountain Top PSD 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.
