2023 Consumer Confidence Report for Cannon AFB

Is my water safe?

Cannon AFB drinking water is sampled by the office of Bioenvironmental Engineering to meet state compliance which is derived from Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Standards. Based on all sampling performed in 2023, water distributed to Cannon AFB is safe to drink for the general populous. This year's Annual Water Quality Report (Consumer Confidence Report), which is required by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), is designed to provide details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to standards set by regulatory agencies. This report is a snapshot of last year's water quality. We are committed to providing you with information because informed customers are our best allies.

Where does my water come from?

Cannon AFB uses groundwater as the source for all potable water supplied to the base and Chavez housing areas. Water is extracted from the Ogallala Aquifer using six wells located on the base property. This water is disinfected with chlorine and delivered to the consumer through a network of underground pipes known as a distribution system. Based on the size of our system and the number of customers, the base wells are registered with the New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) as Community Water Sources.

Why are there contaminants in my 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 Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

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:

• Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, that 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.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

Do I need to take special precautions?

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.

Customers can call the Safe Water Drinking Hotline (800-426-4791) for the latest EPA/Centers for Disease Control guidelines on appropriate means to lesson the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants.

Source water assessment and its availability The Cannon Air Force Base Water System has approximately 7,832 year-round residents and is classified as a Community Water System, according to the New Mexico Drinking Water Regulations 20.7.10 NMAC. The water system consists of six wells, five storage tanks, one treatment plant, two booster stations and distribution lines. The wells are capable of producing a combined output of 1,200 gallons per minute (GPM). The storage tanks are constructed of steel with a combined capacity of 992,000 gallons. The treatment plants include disinfection with l2.5 % sodium hypochlorite. The distribution network consists of approximately 80% PVC, 10% iron and 10% asbestos concrete piping. Source water assessments are reports that generate information about potential contaminant sources and the potential for systems to be impacted by these sources. If customers would like more information regarding the source water assessment program (SWAPP) contact the Drinking Water Bureau at 505-476-8620 or toll free at 1-877-654-8720.

Water Conservation Tips Did you know that the average U.S. household uses approximately 400 gallons of water per day or 100 gallons per person per day? Luckily, there are many low-cost and no-cost ways to conserve water. Small changes can make a big difference - try one today and soon it will become second nature.

Take short showers - a 5-minute shower uses 4 to 5 gallons of water compared to up to 50 gallons for a bath.

Shut off water while brushing your teeth, washing your hair, and shaving and save up to 500 gallons a month.

Use a water-efficient showerhead. They're inexpensive, easy to install, and can save you up to 750 gallons a month.

Run your clothes washer and dishwasher only when they are full.

You can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.

Water plants only when necessary.

Fix leaky toilets and faucets. Faucet washers are inexpensive and take only a few minutes to replace. To check your toilet for a leak, place a few drops of food coloring in the tank and wait. If it seeps into the toilet bowl without flushing, you have a leak. Fixing it or replacing it with a new, more efficient model can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.

Adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered. Apply water only as fast as the soil can absorb it and during the cooler parts of the day to reduce evaporation.

Teach your kids about water conservation to ensure a future generation that uses water wisely. Make it a family effort to reduce next month's water bill!

Visit www.epa.gov/watersense for more information.

Source Water Protection Tips Protection of drinking water is everyone's responsibility. You can help protect your community's drinking water source in several ways:

Eliminate excess use of lawn and garden fertilizers and pesticides - they contain hazardous chemicals that can reach your drinking water source.

Pick up after your pets.

If you have your own septic system, properly maintain your system to reduce leaching to water sources or consider connecting to a public water system.

Dispose of chemicals properly; take used motor oil to a recycling center.

Volunteer in your community. Find a watershed or wellhead protection organization in your community and volunteer to help. If there are no active groups, consider starting one. Use EPA's Adopt Your Watershed to locate groups in your community or visit the Watershed Information Network's How to Start a Watershed Team.

Organize a storm drain stenciling project with your local government or water supplier. Stencil a message next to the street drain reminding people "Dump No Waste - Drains to River" or "Protect Your Water." Produce and distribute a flyer for households to remind residents that storm drains dump directly into your local water body.

Additional Information for Lead If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health 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.

Cannon AFB WS 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 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 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 Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Additional Information for Arsenic While your drinking water meets EPA's standard for arsenic, it does contain low levels of arsenic. EPA's standard balances the current understanding of arsenic's possible health effects against the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water. EPA continues to research the health effects of low levels of arsenic which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at high concentrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory problems.

Additional Information for Fluoride While your drinking water meets EPA's maximum contaminant standard of 4 mg/L for fluoride (drinking water containing more than 4 milligrams per liter (mg/L) of fluoride can increase your risk of developing bone disease), it does not meet the secondary limit of 2 mg/L. At low levels, fluoride can help prevent cavities, however it is important to be aware that drinking water containing more than 2 mg/L of fluoride may develop cosmetic discoloration of children's (under the age of nine) permanent teeth called dental fluorosis.

Children under nine should be provided with alternative sources of drinking water or water that has been treated to remove the fluoride to avoid the possibility of staining and pitting of their permanent teeth. Dental fluorosis, in its moderate or severe forms, may result in a brown staining and/or pitting of permanent teeth. This problem occurs only in developing teeth before they erupt from the gums. You may also want to contact your dentist about proper use of fluoride-containing products by young children. Older children and adults may safely drink the water.

The AF is required to notify you when the fluoride levels in your drinking water exceed 2 mg/L because of the above-described cosmetic dental problems.. Cannon AFB drinking water does not contain more than 4 mg/L of fluoride. Cannon AFB continues to monitor fluoride levels and will inform you if the fluoride concentration exceeds 4 mg/L.

Fluoride contamination is rarely due to human activity. It occurs naturally in some areas and is found in high concentrations in our source water. Some home water treatment units can remove fluoride from drinking water. To learn more about available home water treatment units, contact the National Science Foundation (NSF) International at 1-720-227-0640. Additionally, Cannon AFB provides no-cost low-fluoride water (0.7 to 1.2 mg/L) at 4 locations and at the CDCs. The self-service locations are as follows:

• The Water Plant (Bldg. 336)

• Doc Stewart Community Center/Currently down for repairs (Bldg. 9982)

• Airman's Attic/Library (Bldg. 76)

• The Shoppette on the SE side of base (Bldg. 4623)

To reduce fluoride intake, use water from these locations to drink and where water is integral to food preparation.

Water Quality Data Table In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The table below lists all the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the calendar year (2023) of this report.

Although many more contaminants were tested, only those substances listed below were found in your water.

All sources of drinking water contain some naturally occurring contaminants. At low levels, these substances are generally not harmful in our drinking water. Removing all contaminants would be extremely expensive, and in most cases, would not provide increased protection of public health. A few naturally occurring minerals may improve the taste of drinking water and have nutritional value at low levels.

Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done in the calendar year of the report. The EPA or the State requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not vary significantly from year to year, or the system is not considered vulnerable to this type of contamination. As such, some of our data, though representative, may be more than one year old.

In this table you will find terms and abbreviations that might not be familiar to you. To help you better understand these terms, we have provided the definitions on page 6.

Additional Monitoring As part of an on-going evaluation program the EPA has required us to monitor some additional contaminants/chemicals during the Fifth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 5). Information collected through the monitoring of these contaminants/chemicals will help to ensure that future decisions on drinking water standards are based on sound science. Currently, Cannon AFB is sampling for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) substances as part of an EPA sampling project.

EPA issued interim Health Advisories for PFOS and PFOA in 2022. EPA announced a proposed regulation on PFAS drinking water standards for public comment on March 14, 2023. The Department of Defense (DoD) supports EPA taking regulatory actions to address PFAS, including a drinking water standard for PFAS that will apply to all drinking water suppliers once final. DoD respects and values the public comment process on this proposed nationwide drinking water rule and looks forward to implementing the clarified regulatory drinking water standard for PFAS released in 2024. This report is only for data that applies to the 2022 EPA Interim Health Advisory (Health advisories are non-regulatory and reflect EPA’s assessment of the best available peer-reviewed science).

Prior to the release of the EPA drinking water regulation and to account for emerging science that shows potential health effects of:

• PFOS at levels lower than 0.00002 ppb

• PFOA at levels lower than 0.000004 ppb

• GenX at levels lower than 0.01 ppb

• PFBS at levels lower than 2 ppb

DoD has been evaluating its efforts to address PFAS in drinking water, and what actions we can take to be prepared to incorporate this standard, such as reviewing our current data and collecting additional sampling where necessary. DoD remains committed to communicating and engaging with our communities throughout this process. PFOS, GenX, and PFOA were not detected in our water during the UCMR 5 sampling event.
