This is a public notice regarding a recent EPA violation. This is a continuation from the public notice that was provided in December. Previous samples at EJ Water - SangChris (DS2) had high levels of Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs). The results from November samples raised the average from the past year above the maximum contaminant level. Our actions of cleaning lines and continued flushing should decrease the TTHMs. The most recent samples, collected in February, were well below the limit. Continued low results will put the water system back in compliance. Until then, a public notice will be scheduled every 90 days.
Please see the attached public notice by clicking the link below for more information.
We have 107 new jobs out of being able to get access to water. We are wanting to grow and we are growing. The only way to grow is to have enough water to grow.

I don’t know what else we would really do if we didn't have a rural water system like EJ in our area. When they took over you didn't hear anything bad, then slowly people started saying this is the best tasting water.

Property values improved, they increased, because that water was there. Anytime we’ve had a problem we’ve worked them out.
