    Microbiological Contaminants.
    Contaminant
    Health Effects Language
    Total Coliform
    Coliforms are bacteria that are naturally present
    in the environment and are used as an indicator
    that other, potentially-harmful, bacteria may be
    present. Coliforms were found in more samples
    than allowed and this was a warning of potential
    problems.
    Fecal coliform/E.coli
    Fecal coliforms and E. coli are bacteria whose
    presence indicates that the water may be
    contaminated with human or animal wastes.
    Microbes in these wastes can cause short-term
    effects, such as diarrhea, cramps, nausea,
    headaches, or other symptoms. They may pose a
    special health risk for infants, young children,
    some of the elderly, and people with severely
    compromised immune systems.
    Turbidity
    Turbidity has no health effects. However, high
    levels of turbidity can interfere with disinfection
    and provide a medium for microbial growth.
    Turbidity may indicate the presence of
    disease-causing organisms. These organisms
    include bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can
    cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps,
    diarrhea, and associated headaches.

    the action level over a relatively short amount of
    time may experience gastrointestinal distress.
    Some people who drink water containing copper
    in excess of the action level over many years may
    suffer liver or kidney damage. People with
    Wilson's Disease should consult their personal
    doctor.
    Cyanide
    Some people who drink water containing cyanide
    in excess of the MCL over many years may
    experience nerve damage or thyroid problems.
    Fluoride
    For the Consumer Confidence Report: Some
    people who drink water containing fluoride in
    excess of the federal MCL of 4 mg/L over many
    years may get bone disease, including pain and
    tenderness of the bones. Children who drink
    water containing fluoride in excess of the state
    MCL of 2 mg/L may get mottled teeth.
    For a Public Notice: This is an alert about your
    drinking water and a cosmetic dental problem
    that might affect children under nine years of age.
    At low levels, fluoride can help prevent
    cavities, but children drinking water containing
    more than 2 milligrams per liter (mg/L) of
    fluoride may develop cosmetic discoloration
    of their permanent teeth (dental fluorosis). The
    drinking water provided by your community
    water system [name] has a fluoride
    concentration of [insert value] mg/L.
    Dental fluorosis may result in a brown staining
    and/or pitting of the permanent teeth. This
    problem occurs only in developing teeth, before
    they erupt from the gums. Children under nine
    should be provided with alternative sources of
    drinking water or water that has been treated to
    remove the fluoride to avoid the possibility of
    staining and pitting of their permanent teeth. You
    may also want to contact your dentist about
    proper use by young children of fluoride-
    containing products. Older children and
    adults may safely drink the water. Drinking water
    containing more than 4 mg/L of fluoride can
    increase your risk of developing bone disease.
    For more information, please call [water system contact name
    of [water system name ] at [phone number‘.
    Some home water treatment units are also
    available to remove fluoride from drinking
    water. To learn more about available home water
    treatment units, you may call the California
    Department of Public Health's Water Treatment
    Device Unit at (916) 449-5600.
    Hexavalent chromium
    Some people who drink water containing
    hexavalent chromium in excess of the MCL
    over many years may have an increased risk
    of getting cancer.
    Lead
    Infants and children who drink water containing
    lead in excess of the action level may experience
    delays in their physical or mental development.
    Children may show slight deficits in attention
    span and learning abilities. Adults who drink this
    water over many years may develop kidney
    problems or high blood pressure.
    Mercury
    Some people who drink water containing
    mercury in excess of the MCL over many years
    may experience mental disturbances, or impaired
    physical coordination, speech and hearing.
    Nickel
    Some people who drink water containing nickel
    in excess of the MCL over many years may
    experience liver and heart effects.
    Nitrate
    Infants below the age of six months who drink
    water containing nitrate in excess of the MCL
    may quickly become seriously ill and, if
    untreated, may die because high nitrate levels can
    interfere with the capacity of the infant's blood to
    carry oxygen. Symptoms include shortness of
    breath and blueness of the skin. High nitrate
    levels may also affect the oxygen-carrying
    ability of the blood of pregnant women.
    Nitrite
    Infants below the age of six months who drink
    water containing nitrite in excess of the MCL
    may become seriously ill and, if untreated, may
    die. Symptoms include shortness of breath and
    blueness of the skin.
    Perchlorate
    Perchlorate has been shown to interfere with
    uptake of iodide by the thyroid gland, and to
    thereby reduce the production of thyroid
    hormones, leading to adverse affects associated
    with inadequate hormone levels. Thyroid
    hormones are needed for normal prenatal growth
    and development of the fetus, as well as for
    normal growth and development in the infant and
    child. In adults, thyroid hormones are needed for
    normal metabolism and mental function.
    Selenium
    Selenium is an essential nutrient. However, some
    people who drink water containing selenium in
    excess of the MCL over many years may
    experience hair or fingernail losses, numbness in
    fingers or toes, or circulation system problems.
    Thallium
    Some people who drink water containing
    thallium in excess of the MCL over many years

    Chlorine
    Some people who use water containing chlorine
    well in excess of the MRDL could experience
    irritating effects to their eyes and nose. Some
    people who drink water containing chlorine well
    in excess of the MRDL could experience stomach
    discomfort.
    Chlorite
    Some infants and young children who drink
    water containing chlorite in excess of the MCL
    could experience nervous system effects. Similar
    effects may occur in fetuses of pregnant women
    who drink water containing chlorite in excess of
    the MCL. Some people may experience anemia.

    Add for public notification only:
    The chlorine dioxide violations reported today
    are the result of exceedances at the treatment
    facility only, not within the distribution system
    that delivers water to consumers.
    Continued compliance with chlorine dioxide
    levels within the distribution system minimizes
    the potential risk of these violations to
    consumers.

    Similar effects may occur in fetuses of pregnant
    women who drink water containing chlorine
    dioxide in excess of the MRDL. Some people
    may experience anemia.
    Add for public notification only:
    The chlorine dioxide violations reported today
    include exceedances of the State standard within
    the distribution system that delivers water to
    consumers. These violations may harm human
    health based on short-term exposures. Certain
    groups, including fetuses, infants, and young
    children, may be especially susceptible to
    nervous system effects from excessive chlorine
    dioxide exposure.

    precursors (TOC)
    However, total organic carbon provides a
    medium for the formation of disinfection
    byproducts. These byproducts include
    trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids
    (HAAs). Drinking water containing these
    byproducts in excess of the MCL may lead to
    adverse health effects, liver or kidney problems,
    or nervous system effects, and may lead to an
    increased risk of getting cancer.

    time may experience stomach problems, and may
    have an increased risk of getting cancer.
