1998 WATER QUALITY REPORT

Lakehaven Utility District has mailed a copy of our "1998 Water Quality Report" to all water account customers. The development and mailing of this report is a new Federal requirement called the "Consumer Confidence Report" rule and was created by Congress and the Environmental Protection Agency under the 1996 reauthorization of the Safe Drinking Water Act. By October 19, 1999, all water utilities throughout the United States must provide the first annual report to their customers on the quality of their drinking water as monitored during the previous calendar year. The "Consumer Confidence Report" will be required each year and will help the public learn whether their drinking water meets State and Federal health standards, and if not, why not. The report will detail where the water comes from, what it contains, and the risks that water quality monitoring and testing are designed to prevent.
