2019 Water Utilities Consumer Confidence Report 2019 Water Utilities Consumer Confidence Report

Table B. Unregulated Substances. Substances Expected to be in Drinking Water The City of Arlington and the State of Texas both analyze your drinking water. Any regulated substances that were detected during the last year are shown in Table A, and all are well below the established maximum contaminant levels. All water dissolves substances from the ground as it flows over and through it. Substances that may be present in raw water include: Microbes such as viruses and bacteria that come from septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife Substance Chloroform Bromodichloromethane Chlorodibromomethane Bromoform Dichloroacetic Acid Bromoacetic Acid Dibromoacetic Acid Chloroacetic Acid Trichloroacetic Acid Units Avg. ppb ppb ppb ppb ppb ppb ppb ppb ppb 3.4 3.8 4.0 1.4 3.8 0.2 1.7 0.70 0.01 Min.

Salts and metals that can be naturally occurring or the result of urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges or farming Pesticides and herbicides that may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff or residential uses Radioactive substances that are naturally occurring Organic chemical substances including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals that are by-products of industrial processes and can also come from gas stations and urban stormwater runoff Contaminants may be found in drinking water that could cause taste, color, or odor problems but are not necessarily causes for health concerns. For more information, please call Laboratory Services at 817-575-8984. Other Substances of Interest Substance These substances are not currently regulated by EPA. 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.
