Wheatfield WD

INTRODUCTION
To comply with State regulations, the Town of Wheatfield Water/Sewer Department annually provides a comprehensive report describing the quality of your municipal water. This report aims to enhance your awareness of tap water and emphasize the importance of protecting our water sources. Last year, your tap water met all State health standards. We're proud to report our system did not violate any maximum contaminant levels or water quality standards.

In 2016, we conducted tests for over 100 contaminants with less than 25% detected. The NCWD tests for lead and copper every three years. In 2014, 50 sites throughout the district were evaluated, with copper concentrations below action levels at all sites. Lead measurements showed a 90th percentile level of 4.5 mg/L, below the regulatory limit of 15.0 mg/L, though three sites exceeded recommended action levels.

WATER SOURCE INFORMATION
Our water comes from the western branch of the Niagara River, known for excellent quality. During 2016, our system experienced no restrictions. The treatment facility employs prechlorination, coagulation, rapid mixing, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration. NCWD uses chlorination for disinfection, and adds fluoride and corrosion inhibitors before distribution.

The New York State Department of Health completed a Source Water Assessment under the State's program. This assessment compiled information about potential threats to raw water sources. The Great Lakes watershed is extremely large for detailed evaluation, but general concerns include storm-generated turbidity, wastewater, toxic sediments, shipping-related spills, and invasive species issues.

SYSTEM STATISTICS
The Town of Wheatfield water system serves 18,376 people through 6,633 service connections. Our highest usage day in 2016 was August 8, with 3,310,162 gallons. Total water delivered to customers was 830,526,000 gallons from a total purchase of 843,512,810 gallons, leaving 12,986,810 gallons (1.54%) unaccounted for due to main flushing, firefighting, and leakage. In 2016, customers paid $1.80 per 1,000 gallons.
