Campbellsville Municipal Water and Sewer System
Water Quality Report
January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007
PWSID #  KY1090060
We are pleased to present this Annual Water Quality Report and to inform you there were no violations to report. This report is designed to inform the public about the quality of water and services provided on a daily basis. Our commitment is to provide our customers with a safe, clean, and reliable supply of drinking water. We would like the public to be assured that we will continue to monitor, improve, and protect the water system and deliver a high quality water direct from the tap. We know that water is the most indispensable product in every home and we ask everyone to be conservative and help us in our efforts to protect the water source and the water system. Please report any activity that might jeopardize the water supply.
Our source water comes from the Green River Reservoir located in Southern Taylor County.  Our intake is located on Smith Ridge at the end of West Martin Road.  When necessary we are also able to use water on a short term emergency basis from the City Lake located on Lebanon Avenue across from the water treatment plant. Both Green River Reserevoir and City Lake are surface water sources. This is a summary of the system’s susceptibility to contamination; which is a part of the completed Source Water Plan (SWAP).  The completed plan is available for inspection at our office located at 110 South Columbia Avenue.  The sources of raw water for Campbellsville Municipal Water System are Green River Reservoir and City Reservoir in Taylor County.  An analysis of the overall susceptibility to contamination of the water supply indicated that this susceptibility is generally low.  Within the critical protection area of the Green River Reservoir intake there are four potential  sources of contamination  that are ranked high, one ranked medium and none ranked low.  Areas of concern include row cropping, roads and a variety of forestland, hay fields and pasture land that may
represent a long-term threat to pollution susceptibility of this drinking water source.  Within the critical protection area of the City Reservoir intake there are fifteen potential sources of contamination that are ranked high, ten ranked medium and none ranked low.  Areas of concern include bridges and culverts, row crops, underground storage tanks, KPDES permitted discharges and waste generators or transporters.  The location of Green River Reservoir water intake and remote area of the watershed make the routine non-point contaminant sources of low concern.  The City Reservoir intake is more susceptible to short term hazards due to limited water flow and numerous contaminant sources.  However, water system impact is limited due to the secondary withdrawal nature of this location.
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects may be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells.  As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and may pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, (sewage plants, septic systems, livestock operations, or wildlife).  Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals,(naturally occurring or from stormwater runoff, wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming).  Pesticides and herbicides, (stormwater runoff, agriculture or residential uses).  Organic Chemical Contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, (by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, or from gas stations, stormwater runoff, or septic systems).  Radioactive contaminants, (naturally occurring or from oil and gas production or mining activities).  In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems.  FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water to provide the same protection for public health.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
Some or all of these definitions may be found in this report:
Maximum Contaminant Level  (MCL) - the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water.  MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) - the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health.  MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) - the highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) - the level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.
Below Detection Levels (BDL) - laboratory analysis indicates that the contaminant is not present.
Not Applicable (N/A)  - does not apply.
Parts per million (ppm)  - one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000.
Parts per billion (ppb) - or micrograms per liter, (µg/L).  One part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000.
Parts per trillion (ppt)  - one part per trillion corresponds to one minute in 2,000,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000,000.
Parts per quadrillion (ppq) - one part per quadrillion corresponds to one minute in 2,000,000,000 years or one penny in $10,000,000,000,000.
Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) - a measure of the radioactivity in water.
Millirems per year (mrem/yr) - measure of radiation absorbed by the body.
Million Fibers per Liter (MFL) - a measure of the presence of asbestos fibers that are longer than 10 micrometers.
Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) - a measure of the clarity of water. Turbidity has no health effects. However, turbidity can provide a medium for microbial growth. Turbidity is monitored because it is a good indicator of the effectiveness of the filtration system.
Variances & Exemptions (V&E) - State or EPA permission not to meet an MCL or a treatment technique under certain conditions.
Action Level (AL) - the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water system shall follow.
Treatment Technique (TT) - a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.

The data presented in this report are from the most recent testing done in accordance with administrative regulations in 401 KAR Chapter 8. As authorized and approved by EPA, the State has reduced monitoring requirements for certain contaminants to less often than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. Some of the data in this table, though representative, may be more than one year old. Unless otherwise noted, the report level is the highest level detected.
