VIOLATED DRINKING WATER REQUIREMENTS
Lead/Copper
The Lead/Copper is NOT in the Source of our drinking water.
VIOLATED DRINKING WATER REQUIREMENTS
The source of Lead comes from the Homes we live in. The Lead typically enters water supplies by leaching from lead or brass
pipes and plumbing components. New Lead pipes and plumbing components containing lead are no
longer allowed for this reason. However, many older homes may contain lead pipes.
For lead action level exceedances: Find out whether your pipes contain lead or lead solder. Run your water for 15-30 seconds or until it becomes cold before using
it for drinking or cooking. (This flushes any standing lead from the pipes.)
Don’t cook with or drink water from the hot water tap; lead dissolves more easily into hot water.
Do not boil your water to remove lead. Excessive boiling water makes the lead more concentrated – the lead remains when the water evaporates.
VIOLATED DRINKING WATER REQUIREMENTS
The source of Copper comes from the Homes we live in. The Copper typically enters water supplies by leaching
from copper or brass pipes and plumbing components. New Copper pipes and plumbing components are made of
more refined copper or PVC or PEX pipe and are allowed for this reason. However, many older homes may contain older copper pipes.
For copper action level exceedances: Don’t cook with or drink water from the hot water tap;
copper dissolves more easily into hot water. Do not boil your water to remove copper. Excessive
boiling water makes the copper more concentrated – the copper remains when the water evaporates.

PHOSPHATE FEED SYSTEM
What PHOSPHATE will do:
It will coat inside of piping to prevent leaching Lead/Copper.
We are going to inject a minute amount of chemical.
Water systems are regulated as to the amount of Phosphate that can be injected.
This amounts to less than what you would ingest in a slice of bread or a can of soda.
Phosphate is in all prepared food items.
PHOSPHATE COST & EQUIPMENT Projected Cost (estimate)
$ 2,000.00 Equipment:
Chemical Feed Pump Multi-Function (Anti-Siphon 4-Way Valve) Strainer with Foot Valve Injection Valve Bronze Corp. Stop Misc. Fittings Polyethylene Premium Grade Discharge Tubing Reagent Refill Drums Up Spill Control Chemical pump to be wired through filter system so it
keeps pace with out going water flow
PHOSPHATE OPERATING COST
Estimated Cost: At 30,000 Gal./Day = $5.29 Per Month = $158.70 Per Year = $1,904.40
