来源及处理
Our primary water source is Lake Ontario, one of North America’s five Great Lakes. Surface water is treated at our Shoremont Plant in Greece and at our Webster Plant in Webster. 我们还经营科孚工厂, 科孚村的一个小型地下水源供应, 并从罗切斯特市(Rochester)和伊利县水务局(ECWA)购买水. All the water sources we use are located within the Great Lakes watershed area. The 服务区地图 in this report shows the typical service area for each of the treatment plants. 服务区域之间的界限每天都在变化，因为我们管理水源以优化向客户的供水.
纽约州卫生部根据水源评估方案评估了全州供水系统对潜在污染的易感性。. In general, 由于五大湖的大小和质量，MCWA和ECWA使用的五大湖水源不太容易受到影响. 铁杉和加拿大湖, 罗彻斯特铁杉植物的来源, are not very susceptible because of their size and controlled watersheds. The groundwater aquifer source used by the Corfu Plant is more susceptible, 但是含水层的封闭性提供了对附近少数潜在污染源的保护. Because storm and wastewater contamination are potential threats to any source water, the water provided to our customers undergoes rigorous treatment and testing prior to its delivery.
The Shoremont and Webster plants and the purchased water producers all use a similar 处理过程 that includes pH adjustment, coagulation, filtration and disinfection. Coagulants are added to clump together suspended particles in the source waters, 在过滤过程中加强它们的去除. 氯用于对水进行消毒，并提供剩余的消毒剂，以保持水从每个工厂输送到您家中的质量. 添加氟化物是为了防止蛀牙. The 处理过程 at the Corfu Water Plant consists of filtration, 用氯软化消毒. 这些水处理厂完全符合所有适用的NYSDOH和USEPA法规要求.

Water Quality
Last year your tap water met all federal and state drinking water health standards. MCWA自豪地报告说，我们的系统没有违反最高污染水平或任何其他水质标准. 这份报告概述了去年的水质. Drinking water sources (both tap and bottled water) include lakes, reservoirs, 河流和小溪, 泉水及地下水井. 当水流过陆地或穿过地面时, 它能溶解天然矿物质和, in some cases, 放射性物质, can pick up substances resulting from animal or human activities. Contaminants that may be present in untreated water include inorganic and organic chemicals, 除害剂及除草剂, 以及放射性和微生物污染物. 为了确保你的自来水可以安全饮用, NYSDOH和USEPA制定了规定，规定了公共供水系统提供的水中污染物水平的限制. 这些限制被称为最大污染物水平(MCLs)。. 条例还规定了测试, reporting, 以及每种污染物的公共通知要求. The MCWA’s water quality monitoring program substantially exceeds federal and state requirements. County and state Departments of Health also review our operating, 监测和测试符合法规的数据，并独立监测供水系统的质量.

Some constituents we tested for were detected, but at levels well below the allowable MCLs. 一个表格 检测到的污染物 and a complete 水质概览 是由我们的每个供应来源提供的吗. 重要的是要记住所有的饮用水, 包括瓶装水, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. 有关污染物和潜在健康影响的更多信息可以通过拨打美国环保署的安全饮用水热线1-800-426-4791获得.
有些人可能比一般人更容易受到饮用水中引起疾病的微生物或病原体的侵害. 免疫功能受损者，如化疗患者, 器官移植受者, 艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者或其他免疫系统疾病患者, some elderly, 婴儿尤其容易受到感染. 美国环保署/疾病控制和预防中心关于减少隐孢子虫感染风险的适当方法的指南, Giardia, 和其他微生物污染物可从美国环保署的安全饮用水热线(800)426-4791或门罗县公共卫生部获得, 西福道111号, Rochester, NY 14620, (585) 753-5564, 或者你们当地的卫生部门.
大肠杆菌(E. coli) Bacteria
大肠杆菌(E. 大肠杆菌是一种微生物病原体，其存在表明水可能被人类或动物粪便污染. 这些废物中的人类病原体可造成短期影响, 比如腹泻, cramps, nausea, headaches, 或者其他症状. 它们可能会给婴儿带来更大的健康风险, young children, the elderly, 还有免疫系统严重受损的人.
One of the 366 routine monthly water quality samples collected on October 31, 2023表示E. coli. 我们重复采集水质样本，未发现E. 大肠杆菌. This indicates the initial sample was a false-positive result. Therefore, 没有发生违反最高污染物水平或MCL的情况，我们恢复了例行的水质监测.
Fluoride
The MCWA is one of many New York state public water utilities providing water with a controlled, low level concentration of fluoride for consumer dental health protection. 根据美国.S. 疾病控制和预防中心, fluoride is very effective in preventing cavities when present at an optimum level of 0.7 mg/L. 确保最佳的牙齿保护, the NYSDOH requires that we monitor fluoride levels on a daily basis. 2023年，你家水里的氟化物含量在0以内.2毫克/升的疾病预防控制中心推荐的最佳水平99.6%的时间，平均浓度为0.73 mg/L for water produced by the Shoremont and Webster Plants. 最高监测水平为0.98 mg/L，低于2.水中氟化物的MCL为2mg /L. 可以找到更多关于氟化的信息 here.
饮用水中的铅
铅会导致严重的健康问题，尤其是对孕妇、婴儿和幼儿. There is no detectable lead in the water we deliver to your home. 饮用水中的铅主要来自与服务管道和家庭管道有关的含铅材料和部件. 门罗县水务局负责提供高质量的饮用水，但无法控制管道部件中使用的各种材料. Although our testing indicates this is not a problem for our customers, 你家的铅含量可能比社区其他家庭的铅含量高，这可能是你家管道使用的材料造成的. 你有责任保护你自己和你的家人免受铅污染. 你可以通过识别和清除家庭管道中的铅材料来承担责任，并采取措施减少家庭的风险.
当你的水已经静置了几个小时, 你可以在用水饮用或烹饪前冲洗水龙头30秒至2分钟，以尽量减少接触铅的可能性. 你也可以使用经过美国国家标准协会认证的过滤器来减少饮用水中的铅. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. 关于饮用水中铅的信息, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available at: bulletin.daehanserver.net/my-water/water-quality/lead/ or from the USEPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline 1-800-426-4791 and website: www.EPA.gov / safewater /铅.
Taste and Odor
Sometimes you may find your water tastes or smells like chlorine. 这水可以安全饮用. 我们需要在分配系统中保持氯的残留量，以防止细菌的生长. 消除或减少水中氯的味道, simply store tap water in a container overnight in your refrigerator. An inexpensive carbon filter can also be used for this purpose.
家庭治疗单位
有些商家通过告诉你门罗县水务局供应的水不安全来出售家庭处理设备. Save your money. 我们提供的水始终优于饮用水法规的要求，我们可以证明这一点.
Conservation
Lake Ontario and the other Great Lakes provide an abundance of water to the communities we serve, and our customers greatly benefit by having this natural resource close to home. However, it takes power to treat and deliver the water to your houses. Therefore, conserving energy is helpful to providing clean, safe water to you.
虽然我们的水费低于全国平均水平, no one wants to pay for water that is wasted whether by accident or on purpose. To save water, 及时修理漏水的水龙头和马桶, 当花园水管开始滴水时，更换洗衣机, 在清晨给你的草坪浇水. After 10:00 a.m. 太阳的热量通过蒸发从草坪上吸收水分. When you water early, you can water less because more of the water is absorbed into the lawn.
不受管制污染物监测规则
美国环保署每隔几年就会发布一份新的清单，列出多达30种不受管制的污染物，公共供水系统必须对这些污染物进行监测. 该规则的目的是提供基线发生数据，EPA可以将其与毒理学研究相结合，以制定未来的饮用水法规. MCWA completed monitoring for the fourth list (UCMR 4) in 2020. 对第五份清单(UCMR 5)的监测始于2023年.
