Fork Township Sanitary District Water Company

We are pleased to present this year's Water Quality Report for our community. Our mission is to deliver safe, reliable municipal water to our customers every day.

Your water supply comes from groundwater wells - six wells draw from the Upper Cape Fear Aquifer along the Lenoir/Wayne county border, while twenty wells access rock formations in western Wayne County. For emergencies, we maintain connections with Goldsboro, Wayne Sanitary District, and Johnston County systems.

Fork Township Sanitary District conducts regular monitoring for contaminants according to Federal and State regulations. We're proud to confirm our municipal water meets all federal and state safety requirements. This report outlines our water quality testing results from January through December 2018, along with previous test results for contaminants not scheduled for testing in 2018.

We invite residents with questions to contact Glenn Kennedy at 919-736-2551. If you'd like to learn more about our operations, please attend our monthly meetings held on the third Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Fork Township Office.

Remember that all water, including bottled water, may contain small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of these substances doesn't necessarily indicate a health risk. EPA and State regulations require less frequent monitoring for certain contaminants when their concentrations aren't expected to vary significantly year to year.

1. Where does Fork Township Sanitary District water come from?
   Fork Township Sanitary District supplies groundwater to Goldsboro, North Carolina.
2. Does Fork Township Sanitary District test its tap water?
   Yes. Like every public water system, Fork Township Sanitary District must test its water under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and publish an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report). Ask the utility for the latest report or look for it on its website.
3. How do I contact Fork Township Sanitary District?
   Call 919-736-2551 or visit 825 Rosewood Rd., Goldsboro, NC 27530, or use the contact options on the utility’s website.
4. Does Fork Township Sanitary District water contain lead?
   Water usually leaves the treatment plant without lead. Lead can enter tap water from older service lines, solder and brass fixtures inside homes, especially when water sits in the pipes. Run the tap before drinking if water has been sitting, and ask the utility about lead testing and service line records.
5. Is Fork Township Sanitary District water hard?
   Hardness depends on the source and changes over time. The annual water quality report lists hardness, or you can test it at home. If it is above about 7 grains per gallon, a water softener sized to your measured hardness will stop scale and spotting.
