Return to compliance on DBPs
Posted on
Lake Alpine Water System has returned to compliance and samples are below the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for the disinfection byproducts (DBP) of Haloacetic Acids (HAA) and Trihalomethanes (TTHM). This is a customer notice with GOOD news!
The two granular activated carbon (GAC) filters are working well at reducing organics, the precursors for disinfection byproducts. As a result, we are back in compliance with low levels of HAA and TTHM. The decreasing trend is great news for your water quality, and we are preparing for our GAC filter renovations scheduled for September 2023.
| Sample Date | Q2 2022 | Q3 2022 | 10.5.22 | 1.6.23 | MCL |
| HAA Site Averages | 78.35 | 64.70 | 19.55 | 29.00 | 60.0 |
| Sample Date | Q2 2022 | Q3 2022 | 10.5.22 | 1.6.23 | MCL |
| TTHM Site Averages | 71.88 | 78.68 | 71.21 | 47.45 | 80.0 |

Hello LAWC Customers,
The Lake Alpine Water Company system recently failed to meet the drinking water standard for Haloacetic Acids, a disinfection by-product.
Although this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened, and what we are doing to correct the situation.
Please read the complete water quality notice here. You can direct any questions to info@lakealpinewater.com or call 209-753-2409.
