For Bradley Springs and based on the analysis of available information, this spring source is rated as having a medium susceptibility to protozoan and pesticide contamination. These ratings are due to the pasture and row crop land covers (respectively) in the assessment area. No permitted discharges or other regulated facilities have been identified in the assessment area using GIS. (Bradley Springs is not connected to our water).
Facts and Figures Our water system serves 1500 people through 726 service connections. Amount of water withdrawn from the system in 2007 was 50,696,000 gallons. The daily average of water treated and pumped into the distribution system is 138,893 gallons per day. Our highest single day was 266,000 gallons. The amount of water delivered to customers was 38,649,000 gallons. This leaves an unaccounted total amount of 12,047,000 gallons which includes water that is used for backwashing, hydrant flushing, fire protection use, draining and cleaning tanks, and other various Village uses. The remainder would be leakage, or unauthorized use. Amount of water metered is not done on a calendar year, but rather on a quarterly basis.
Are There Contaminants in Our Drinking Water? As the State regulations require, we routinely test your drinking water for numerous contaminants. These contaminants include: total coliform, turbidity, inorganic compounds, nitrate, lead and copper, volatile organic compounds, total trihalomethanes, haloacetic Acids, radiological contaminants, and synthetic organic compounds. The complete list of monitoring results will be available at the Village of Nunda Clerk's office for public viewing during normal business hours. The table presented below depicts which compounds were detected in your drinking water. The State allows us to test for some contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently. Some of our data, though representative, are more than one year old. It should be noted that all drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791) or the Livingston County Health Department at 585-243-7280.
