3rd Quarter 2023 Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM) MCL Violation at Town of Wellton

Our water system recently violated a drinking water standard for the 3rd Quarter.  Although this incident was not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what we did (are doing) to correct this situation.  We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants. Testing results from 3rd Quarter 2023 show that our system exceeds the standard, or maximum contaminant level (MCL), for TTHM. The standard for TTHM is 0.080 mg/L. It is determined by averaging all the samples collected at each sampling location for the past 12 months. The level of TTHM averaged at our system’s locations for the 3rd Quarter of 2023 was 0.086 mg/L.
