Drinking Water Quality

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) tracks information about the environment and human health, and DHEC’s Bureau of Water is tracking arsenic, nitrate, and disinfection byproducts in public drinking water as part of the CDC’s National Environmental Public Health Tracking Program.

1 Community Water System (CWS)   A Community Water System or CWS is defined by the EPA as a public water system that supplies water to the same population year-round.  A public water system is defined as one that provides water for human consumption through a pipe or other constructed conduit to at least fifteen (15) service connectors or serves an average of at least twenty-five (25) people for at least sixty (60) days a year. 2 Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL)  Limits set by the EPA for the presence of contaminants in drinking water; an MCL is the highest amount of a substance allowed under the Clean Water Act. The MCL for Arsenic is 10µg/L. Data Source: Bureau of Water

(See Drinking Water 'About' section for additional information.) 3 Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL)  Limits set by the EPA for the presence of contaminants in drinking water; an MCL is the highest amount of a substance allowed under the Clean Water Act. The MCL for THM is 80µg/L and consists of 4 seperate potential contaminants. Note: DBP violations occur when the average MCL is exceeded for 4 consecutive quarters. Data Source: Bureau of Water

These substances are formed during chlorine disinfection and disinfection by chlorinated disinfectants. (See Drinking Water 'About' section for additional information.) 3 Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL)  Limits set by the EPA for the presence of contaminants in drinking water; an MCL is the highest amount of a substance allowed under the Clean Water Act. The MCL for HAA5 is 60µg/L and consists of 4 seperate potential contaminants. Note: DBP violations occur when the average MCL is exceeded for 4 consecutive quarters. Data Source: Bureau of Water

1 Community Water System (CWS)   A Community Water System or CWS is defined by the EPA as a public water system that supplies water to the same population year-round.  A public water system is defined as one that provides water for human consumption through a pipe or other constructed conduit to at least fifteen (15) service connectors or serves an average of at least twenty-five (25) people for at least sixty (60) days a year. 2 Halogenic acetic acids (HAA5) are a type of disinfection byproduct that can be found in chlorinated water. Disinfectantion Byproducts (DPB) are chemicals formed when chlorine or other chemicals used to disinfect drinking water sources react with organic (plant or animal) material in the water. These substances are formed during chlorine disinfection and disinfection by chlorinated disinfectants. (See Drinking Water 'About' section for additional information.) 3 Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL)  Limits set by the EPA for the presence of contaminants in drinking water; an MCL is the highest amount of a substance allowed under the Clean Water Act. The MCL for HAA5 is 60µg/L and consists of 4 seperate potential contaminants. Note: DBP violations occur when the average MCL is exceeded for 4 consecutive quarters. Data Source: Bureau of Water

1 Community Water System (CWS)   A Community Water System or CWS is defined by the EPA as a public water system that supplies water to the same population year-round.  A public water system is defined as one that provides water for human consumption through a pipe or other constructed conduit to at least fifteen (15) service connectors or serves an average of at least twenty-five (25) people for at least sixty (60) days a year. 2 Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL)  Limits set by the EPA for the presence of contaminants in drinking water; an MCL is the highest amount of a substance allowed under the Clean Water Act. The MCL for Nitrate is 10mg/L. Data Source: Bureau of Water
