The City of Atlantic Bach routinely monimrs Por
contaminants in your driN;ing water according to
Federal and State laws. Except where indicated
otherwise, the table in Oris report is based on the
results of om monitoring for the period of January
1, 2000 to December 31, 2000.
As euthouzed end approved by EPA, the State has
reduced monitoring requ¢ements for certain
contaminants to less often [hen once pet year
because the xosscenkatiom of these contaminants
are not expected to vary significantly from year to
year. Some of our data, though representative, is
more than one year old.
N order to ensure that [ep xreter is safe to drinY, the
Envvonmental Prmection Agency (EPA) prescribes
regulations which limit the amount of certain
contaminants N water provided by public water
ayslerns- The Food and Dmg Administration (FDA)
regulations establish limits for rontaminants m
bottled water which must provide the same
protection for public health. -
AO drfrtking water, including bottled water, may
reasonably be expected to wntain al least small
amounts of some contaminant. The presence of
contaminanks does not necessarily indicate that the
water poses a health risk. More information eboN
conlarrtinanL' end potential health effects can be
obtained by calling the EPA's Satz Drirding Water
Hotline a[1-800-426-g79L
The EPA requires monitoring of over 80 drinkhtg
water eonlaminanG. Those con[arrrinants listed N
the table are the only ones detected in your dunking
water.
MCLs ere set et very stringent levels. To
understand Ore possible health eBzcts described for
many regulated contaminaNS, a person would have
to drink 2 liter? of water every day al the MCL level
for a lifetime to hav< a ere-in-a-million chance of
having the descrbed health effect.
Some people may he more vulnerable to
eonmmtnants in drinWug water than the general
population, Lnmune-cmnpromised persons such
as persons ith cancer undergoing
chemotherapy, persons who hove undergone
organ transplants, people With HIV/AIDS or
other immune system disorders, some elderly,
and infants can be particulaNy at rill: from
infections. These people should seek adrice
about drinking water from their health care
providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate
means to lessen the .risk of infecflon by
cryptosporidium and other microbiological
contaminants are arailahle from EPA's Safe
Drinldog W ater Hotline at 8170-426-A791.
