2.0 Casev Acres Water System Source
Water Source: Casey Acres' water source is a groundwater well located behind the home at
7229 East 1000 North (1000 feet south and 900 feet east from the northwest comer of Section 7,
Township 6 North, Range 2 East SLBM). The completed well is 130 feet deep with a diameter
of 8 inches. The surface seal extends to a depth of 100 feet. The casing is perforated from 105 to
125 feet in depth.
Susceptibility to Contamination: Groundwater traveling toward Casey Acres' source well is
susceptible to contamination from sources that are up gradient (northeast) of the well. These
sources include other wells, septic tanks, a cattle feedlot, a private farm maintenance garage,
agricultural land, and residential chemical use. More detailed information is contained in the
Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) Plan for Casey Acres. The Plan contains a
delineation of DWSP zones, a prioritized inventory of potential contamination sources,
management strategies to protect the drinking water source, and a contingency plan for
emergencies. Residents may borrow the Plan from a Board Member for review.
3.0 Definitions
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below
which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
2
Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant allowed in drinking
water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment
technology.
mg/l: milligrams/liter.
ug/l: micrograms/liter
4.0 Casey Acres Detected Contaminants
Monthly Bacteriological monitoring demonstrated (1) Total Coliform Present during 2023. On 4-
17-23 a routine bacteriological sample was found to be total coliform present. Within 24 hours
repeat samples were obtained and submitted to Chemtech Ford laborites. The results for all 4
samples returned as total coliform absent. Subsequent routine monthly bacterial samples were all
absent total coliform for the rest of the 2023 calendar year.

5.1 2022 Results
Monthly Bacteriological monitoring demonstrated (3) Total Coliform Present results during
2022. On 7-27-22 a routine bacteriological sample was found to be total coliform present.
Within 24 hours repeat samples were obtained and submitted to Chemtech Ford laborites. The
results demonstrated 2 more total coliform present results in the distribution system. A Level 1
survey was conducted. No violations were found. No improper cross connections were found.
The system was flushed, and repeat samples demonstrated that total coliform was absent in all 4
sample locations.
5.2 2020 Results
Inorganic, Metals, Carbamates, Herbicides, Pesticides, Semi-Volatile Compounds, and
Volatile Organic Compounds sampling results were all ND = Non Detect or
satisfactory for samples taken on March 9th, 2020.
Lead and Copper sample analyses for samples collected between 7-21 and 8-21 indicated that
levels are below the MCLs. Lead levels at the five homes ranged from below the detection limit
to 0.0027 mg/L. Copper levels ranged from 0.0188 to 0.386 mg/L.

6.0 Health Information
6.1 Contaminants in Drinking Water
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be 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 (1-800-426-4791).
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general
population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing
chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other
immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections.
These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.
EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium
and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-
800426-4791).
6.2 Sources of Drinking Water
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams,
ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the
ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and
can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
6.3 Contaminants That May Be Present in Source Water
Microbial Contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment
plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.
Inorganic Contaminants, such as salts and metals which can be naturally-occurring or result
from urban stormwater runoff, industrial, or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas
production, mining, or farming.
Pesticides and Herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban
stormwater runoff, and residential uses.
Organic Chemical Contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are
by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations,
urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.
Radioactive Contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas
production and mining activities.
6.4 EPA and FDA Regulations
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the U.S. EPA prescribes regulations that limit
the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug
5
Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water that must
provide the same protection for public health.
6.5 Vulnerability of Some Populations to Contaminants in Drinking Water
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general
population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing
chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other
immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections.
These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.
EPA/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to
lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available
from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
7.0 Violations of National Primary Drinking Water Regulations
Analytical results for routine water samples taken during 2022 from the Casey Acres drinking
water system showed no violations of National Primary Drinking Water Regulations.
