Notice of Drinking Water
Uranium Violation
The Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ)
has notified the City of Chico
water system that the drinking
water being supplied to
customers had exceeded the
Maximum Contaminant Level
(MCL) for URANIUM. The U.S.
Environmental Protection
Agency (U.S. EPA) has
established the MCL for
URANIUM at 30 micrograms per
liter, and has determined that it is
a health concern at levels above
the MCL. Analysis of drinking
water in your community for
URANIUM indicates a level of 38
micrograms per liter (yearly
average).
This is not an emergency. Some
people who drink water
containing uranium in excess of
the MCL over many years may
have an increased risk of getting
cancer and kidney toxicity.
You do not need to use an
alternate water supply.
However, if you have health
concerns, you may want to talk
to your doctor to get more
information about how this may
affect you.
We are working to correct the
problem. We are currently
mixing the water with water from
other wells that are not
registering as high in uranium.
We are also looking into putting
in water filtering system. The
City’s engineers are looking into
the best way to solve this
problem. Additionally, we have
asked for assistance from the
Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
Please share this information
with all the other people who
drink this water, especially those
who may not have received this
notice directly (for example,
people in apartments, nursing
homes, schools and
businesses). You can do this by
posting this notice in a public
place or distributing copies by
hand or mail.
