The drinking water system at the facility noted above is registered in the Commonwealth as a transient non-community (TNC) public water system because it owns and/or controls its source of water and supplies potable water to 25 or more persons at least 60 days of the year.

Examples of TNCs include restaurants, motels, campgrounds, parks, golf courses, ski areas and community centers.

All drinking water, including bottled water, may contain small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk.

The drinking water quality monitoring results on file with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection Drinking Water

Program (MassDEP/DWP) for this public water system and the most recent monitoring period are as follows:

Detect – any levels found at or above the detection limits in the Massachusetts Drinking Water Regulations, 310 CMR 22.00.

Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) – the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water.

Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) – the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health.

For any violations, Refer to the following health effects language listed below and contact the system’s contact person for information on corrective actions taken by the system to return to compliance and stay in compliance in the future:

Total Coliform – Coliforms are bacteria that are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other, potentially harmful, bacteria are present. Coliforms were found in more samples than allowed and this was a warning of potential problems.

Nitrate – Infants below the age of six months who drink water containing nitrate in excess of the MCL could become seriously ill and, if untreated, may die. Symptoms include shortness of breath and blue-baby syndrome.

Nitrite - Infants below the age of six months who drink water containing nitrite in excess of the MCL could become seriously ill and, if untreated, may die. Symptoms include shortness of breath and blue-baby syndrome.

Other Contaminant Violations – If applicable, contact the owner or the MassDEP at the numbers listed below for information on the other contaminants.

** If “Y”, one or more times during the reporting period this system did not monitor and/or report to the MassDEP as required.

“ We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of the regular monitor ing are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health standards. During the above noted reporting period we did not monitor or test and/or did not complete all monitoring or testing for contaminant(s) noted above and therefore cannot be sure of the quality of our drinking water during that time. “

The posting of this report meets the public notification Tier 3 requirements of 310 CMR 22.16(4).
