| product are regularly collected at a series of distribution system sampling taps. Analysis was |
| performed by the City's analysts at the Water Treatment Plant's laboratory. Results from |
| HSA's sampling of the Town's drinking water from northern-most Tap A (IDSE #6) are directly |
| compared to the City's routine sampling of drinking water from distribution system tap LINL |
| (closest to Tap A). Results from HSA's sampling of the Town's drinking water from southern- |
| most Tap B (3230) are compared directly to those from the City's sampling of that tap. TTHM |
| concentrations from HSA's November 2008 sampling event are slightly higher than the |
| averages of the results reported from the City's latest quarterly sampling from tap LINL and tap |
| 3230, respectively. The difference between these results is not relevant since the reported |
| concentrations from the City and from HSA's sampling event are still less than the MCL. It is |
| noted that the concentration of TTHMs reported from the City's annual compliance event |
| (collected at the Treatment Plant) is close to the MCL. This is not unexpected as the sampling |
| location (treatment plant laboratory tap) is much closer to the point of disinfection than the |
| distribution system sampling taps. Table 1 includes a comparative array of the detected |
| TTHM's from City's monitoring program to those detected from HSA's November 2008 |
| sampling event as well as the TTHM Standards per rule 62-550, F.A.C. |
| The City Public Utilities Department acknowledges that to keep the potable water product free |
| of microbiologics occasionally requires increasing the concentration of disinfecting chlorine |
| added to the supply water. This results in brief incidences of potable water product with a |
| notable change in the taste and higher concentrations of DBPRs. Concentrations of DBPRs |
| and the stronger taste of chlorine subside with the inevitable reduction of chlorination. |
| CONCLUSION |
| As a measure of the quality of the drinking water product being delivered to the Town by the |
| City, results from HSA's November 2008 collection of potable water from the northern-most |
| and southern-most distribution system sampling taps revealed target regulated drinking water |
| parameters at concentrations below the MCL standards established in FDEP rule 62-770, |
| F.A.C. |
| A comparative of the results obtained from HSA's sampling event to the City's reported annual |
| and quarterly results from 2008 monitoring events found minor variations in reported |
| concentrations for select parameters (see Table 1). These variations pose no concern for the |
| quality of the potable water product being delivered to the Town since all parameter |
| concentrations reported from the City's monitoring events and by HSA's sampling event are |
| less than respective MCLs. |
