Annual Drinking Water Quality Report

What’s In My Water?

We are pleased to report that during the past year, the water delivered to your home complied with, or exceeded, all state and federal drinking water requirements. For your information, we have compiled a list in the table below showing what substances were detected in our drinking water during 2019.  Although all the substances listed below are under the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) set by the U.S. EPA, we feel it is important that you know exactly what was detected and how much of the substance was present in the water. For a list of the undetect compounds, call the office of Veolia at 812-897-2118.  The state requires us to monitor for certain substances less than once per year because the concentrations of these substances do not change frequently. In these cases, the most recent sample data are included, along with the year in which the sample was taken.
