Certain populations may face increased vulnerability to microbial contaminants in municipal water, including Cryptosporidium. Infants, elderly individuals, those with compromised immune systems, cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, organ transplant recipients, individuals on steroid treatments, and people with HIV/AIDS may be particularly susceptible to infections. Please consult your healthcare provider about your municipal water consumption. Additional guidance on reducing Cryptosporidium infection risk is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.

Public Participation Opportunities are available by calling 210-658-9900 to learn about upcoming public meetings regarding your municipal water or to request scheduling one.

OUR MUNICIPAL WATER IS REGULATED. This report summarizes the quality of water we provide our customers, based on the most recent EPA-required tests. We hope this information helps you better understand what's in your municipal water.

WATER SOURCES: Municipal water (both tap and bottled) comes from rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels across land or underground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals, sometimes radioactive materials, and can pick up substances from animal presence or human activity.

Potential source water contaminants before treatment include:

• Microbial contaminants (viruses/bacteria) from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agriculture, and wildlife
• Inorganic contaminants (salts/metals) occurring naturally or from urban runoff, wastewater discharges, oil/gas production, mining, or farming
• Pesticides and herbicides from agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses
• Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organics from industrial processes, petroleum production, gas stations, runoff, and septic systems
• Radioactive contaminants that occur naturally or result from oil/gas production and mining

Source Information: CITY OF CIBOLO purchases water from CRWA Wells Ranch (groundwater from Carrizo and Wilcox Aquifers in Guadalupe and Gonzalez County) and CRWA Lake Dunlap WTP (surface water from Guadalupe River in Guadalupe County).

The TCEQ has completed a Source Water Assessment for all municipal systems that own their sources. The report describes susceptibility and potential contaminant sources based on human activities and natural conditions. For more information on assessments and protection efforts, contact CRWA at 210-609-0092.

ALL public municipal water may contain some contaminants. When water meets federal standards, there may not be health benefits to purchasing bottled water or filtration devices. Municipal water, including bottled varieties, can reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. Their presence doesn't necessarily indicate a health risk. For more information about contaminants and potential health effects, call the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791).
