Important Imformation about your Drinking Water
March 26, 2026
Our water system recently violated drinking water standards. Although this was not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened, what you should do, and what we are doing to correct this situation.
Mountain Park Public Works Auth Has Levels of Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) Above Drinking Water Standards
We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants. Testing results we received for the indicated time period(s) show that our system exceeds the standard, or maximum contaminant level (MCL), for total trihalomethanes (TTHM). The standard or MCL 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 total trihalomethanes averaged at our system's locations was the following:
Twelve-month time period Locational Running Annual Average with Sample location
First Quarter 2026 0. I I 8 MG/l - I 609 N HWY I 83 MOUNTAIN PARK
What should l do? There is nothing you need to do unless you have a severely compromised immune system, have an infant or are elderly. These people may be at increased risk and should seek advice about drinking water from their health care
providers.
What does this mean? This is not an emergency. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately.
However, some people who drink water containing trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidneys, or central nervous system, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer.
CORRECTIVE ACTION: What happened? What is being done? When will the violation be resolved?
"The aerator is down in the water tower. In the process of being fixed, working on a grant for repairs."
