Water customers of the City of Rockdale have received, or should be receiving, the city’s annual Drinking Water Quality Report.
The report is an exhaustive listing of water quality tests during 2017.
Public comment on the report may be made during the July monthly session of the Rockdale City Council. That is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Monday, July 9, at City Hall, corner of Cameron and Wilcox (US 79 and FM 487).
NOTIFICATION—The only violation cited in the 2017 report is one of communication. It notes the city did not “adequately” notify customers of a previous violation of drinking water requirements and noted that violation ended in October.
The report does not list any actual violation in monitoring data but cites two instances in which the city “failed to provide results of lead tap water monitoring to consumers in the area water was tested, adding “these were supposed to be provided no later than 30 days after learning the results.”
There are no violations for lead and copper listed in the numbers reported for those substances,
NUMBERS—The report also lists monitoring numbers for haloacetic acids, trihalomethanes, barium, fluoride, nitrate, selenium beta/photon admitters, radium, gross alpha and free chlorine and does not cite any violation.
It noted all drinking water may contain some contaminants.
The report contains data from several wells and notes that all of them are in the Carrizo-Wilcox outcrop.
