What is a Water Quality Report?

To comply with Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, American Water issues a report annually describing the quality of your drinking water. The purpose of this report is to provide you an overview of last year’s (2019) drinking water quality. It includes details about where your water comes from and what it contains. We hope the report will raise your understanding of drinking water issues and awareness of the need to protect your drinking water sources.

How is Your Water Treated?

Water is treated by the Bell County Water Control and Improvement District No 1 (BCWCID1). BCWCID1 uses advanced water treatment techniques including chemical coagulation, filtration and disinfection to provide potable water that meets federal and state drinking water standards. Drinking water that enters the Fort Hood water distribution system is analyzed by American Water staff to ensure it meets drinking water standards. Depending on water quality, American Water staff may add additional disinfectant to ensure disinfectant residuals are maintained consistently throughout the Fort Hood water distribution system.

Repair leaks in faucets and hoses.

Use water-saving nozzles.

Use water from a bucket to wash your car, and save the hose for rinsing.

Where Does My Water Come From?

Fort Hood’s drinking water is obtained from a surface water source, Belton Lake. Fort Hood purchases treated drinking water for South and West Fort Hood and Belton Lake Outdoor Recreation Area from Bell County Water control and Improvement District No. 1 (BCWCID1).

Source Water Assessment Completed The TCEQ has completed a Source Water Assessment for all drinking water systems that own their sources. The report describes the susceptibility and types of constituents that may come into contact with your drinking water source based on human activities and natural conditions. The system(s) from which we purchase our water received the assessment report. For more information on source water assessments and protection efforts at our system, contact American Water O&M at (254) 213- 0382. Source water assessment information is available on Texas Drinking Water Watch at http://dww.tceq.state.tx.us/DWW/.

Substances Expected to be in Drinking Water To ensure that tap water is of high quality, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency prescribes regulations limiting the amount of certain substances in water provided by public water systems. U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health.

Contaminants may be found in drinking water that may cause taste, color, or odor problems. These types of problems are not necessarily causes for health concerns. For more information on taste, odor, or color of drinking water, please contact American Water O&M at (254) 213-0382.

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 at (800) 426-4791.

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) includes 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.

Contaminants that may be present in source water include:

Microbial Contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, or wildlife.

Inorganic Contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or may 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 may also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.

Radioactive Contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or may be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

For more information about contaminants and potential health effects, call the U.S. EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.

Information About Lead Is there lead in my water?

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. American Water is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components.

When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead and copper exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your drinking water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the National Lead Information Center (800-LEAD-FYI) or the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791 or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

How to Read the Data Tables American Water O&M-Military Service Group (AWE-MSG) conducts extensive monitoring to ensure that your water meets all water quality standards. The results of our monitoring are reported in the following tables. While most monitoring was conducted in 2019, certain substances are required to be monitored less than once per year and represent the most current results available. For help with interpreting this table, see the “Table Definitions” section.

Starting with a SSubstance, read across. YYear Sampled is usually in 2019 or year prior. MMCL shows the highest level of substance (contaminant) allowed. MMCLG is the goal level for that substance (this may be lower than what is allowed). AAverage Amount Detected represents the measured amount (less is better). RRange tells the highest and lowest amounts measured. A YYes under Compliance Achieved means the amount of the substance met government requirements. TTypical Source tells where the substance usually originates.

Unregulated substances are measured, but maximum allowed contaminant levels have not been established by the government.

Table Definitions and Abbreviations AAction Level: The concentration of a contaminant that, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water system must follow.

MCL (Maximum Contaminant Level): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.

MCLG (Maximum Contaminant Level Goal): 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.

MRDL (Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level): The highest level of disinfectant routinely allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.

MRDLG (Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal): The level of drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contamination.

MFL: Million fibers per liter (a measure of asbestos) mrem/year: Millirems per year (a measure of radiation absorbed by the body.

NA: Not applicable.

ND: Not detected.

NTU: Nephelometric Turbidity Units (a measure of turbidity) pCi/L: Picocuries per liter (a measure of radioactivity) pH: A measurement of acidity, 7.0 being neutral.

ppb: Parts per billion, or micrograms per liter (μ/L) ppm: Parts per million, or milligrams per liter (mg/L) ppt: Parts per trillion, or nanograms per liter (ng/L) ppq: Parts per quadrillion, or picograms per liter (pg/L)

TT (Treatment Technique): A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.

Level 1 assessment--A Level 1 assessment is a study of the water system to identify potential problems and determine (if possible) why total coliform bacteria were found.

Level 2 assessment--A Level 2 assessment is a very detailed study of the water system to identify potential problems and determine (if possible) why an Escherichia coli (E. coli) maximum contaminant level (MCL) violation has occurred and/or why total coliform bacteria were found on multiple occasions.

Water Quality Statement The American Water – Fort Hood is required to sample for many different contaminants in your drinking water annually. The tables below only contain sample results for contaminants that were detected in your drinking water. Some contaminants are required to be sampled for less than annually and in these cases, the most recent sample results are provided below and the year they were collected.

UUnregulated Contaminants Monitoring Rule (UCMR)

Unregulated contaminants are those for which EPA has not established drinking water standards. The purpose of unregulated contaminant monitoring is to assist EPA in determining the occurrence of unregulated contaminants in drinking water and whether future regulation is warranted. The fourth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 4) was published in the Federal Register on December 20, 2016.

UCMR 4 requires monitoring for 30 chemical contaminants between 2018 and 2020 using analytical methods developed by EPA and consensus organizations. This monitoring provides a basis for future regulatory actions to protect public health.
