Our water system includes details about your water sources, their contents, and how they compare to standards set by regulatory agencies. Our ongoing mission is to deliver safe, reliable water to every household we serve. We're dedicated to improving water treatment processes and protecting our valuable water resources.

We prioritize keeping our valued customers informed about their water utility. If you have questions about this report or your water service, please contact Jerry Green at 704-878-3441. To learn more, join us at our regular meetings held at Statesville City Hall (227 S. Center Street), typically on the first and third Mondays at 7 PM.

Important EPA Information
Municipal water, including bottled varieties, may contain small amounts of certain 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 (800-426-4791).

Some individuals may be more vulnerable to water contaminants than the general population. People with compromised immune systems—including those undergoing chemotherapy, organ transplant recipients, HIV/AIDS patients, elderly individuals, and infants—may face increased risk from infections. These individuals should seek advice about drinking water from their healthcare providers. Guidelines for reducing infection risks from Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available through the Safe Drinking Water Hotline.

Lead Awareness
Elevated lead levels can cause serious health problems, particularly for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water primarily comes from materials in service lines and home plumbing. While the City of Statesville provides quality drinking water, we cannot control the materials used in plumbing components. If your water has been sitting for several hours, minimize potential lead exposure by running your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. For concerns about lead, consider having your water tested. Information about lead in drinking water is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Water Sources and Contaminants
Municipal water sources (tap and bottled) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over land or underground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and can pick up substances from animal or human activity. Potential contaminants include:

• Microbial contaminants (viruses, bacteria) from sewage treatment, septic systems, agriculture, and wildlife
• Inorganic contaminants (salts, metals) from urban runoff, wastewater discharge, farming, mining, or natural deposits
• Pesticides and herbicides from agriculture, urban runoff, and residential usage
• Organic chemical contaminants from industrial processes, petroleum production, gas stations, and septic systems
• Radioactive contaminants that occur naturally or result from oil/gas production and mining

The EPA establishes regulations limiting contaminant levels in public water systems to ensure safe drinking water. Similarly, FDA regulations set limits for contaminants in bottled water to provide equivalent public health protection.

Water Source Information
Our water supply comes from Lookout Shoals Lake and the South Yadkin River. The intake for Lookout Shoals is located at 274 Old Lion Highway, while the South Yadkin intake is at 116 Payoff Road.
