Drinking Water Notice to City of Chico Residents
Notice of Drinking Water Uranium Violation
Notice for the 4th Quarter of 2008
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 36 micrograms per liter (based on a running annual 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. The use of the affected wells was discontinued on
January 23, 2009 and the affected wells will not be used until the levels are within the Maximum
Contaminant Level (MCL) based on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA). The
City’s engineers are currently conducting a Water Feasibility Study hoping to find the best
solution to this problem. They are considering some water blending possibilities, to blend the
affected water with water from the City’s other wells and entry points which will lower the total
Uranium content. The City is also looking into putting in a water filtering system. 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.
For further information contact:
