As consumers of water in the park, you have a right to know what happened, what you should do, and what we are doing to correct this situation. Our water system is required to demonstrate complete inactivation of harmful pathogens. Our system is currently unable to meet these requirements. This is a significant deficiency that does not meet the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act and indicates a potential elevated threat to public health. **What should I do?** - **BOIL WATER FOR AT LEAST 3 MINUTES BEFORE USING, OR SEEK AN ALTERNATE SOURCE.** - If you have a severely compromised immune system, have an infant, are pregnant, or are elderly, you may be at increased risk and should seek advice from your health care providers about drinking this water. General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791. **What does this mean?** _ **Although no contamination has currently been detected in our Water System,** we are not meeting disinfection requirements. This means microbes such as bacteria and viruses may not be inactivated. *Fecal coliforms and E. coli are bacteria whose presence indicates that the water may be contaminated with human or animal wastes.
