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 can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).
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 systems 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 Environmental Protection Agency's safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).

To obtain a summary of the source water assessment please contact, Jesse Rankin at (715) 758-8779.
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 can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
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, which shall provide the same protection for public health.

Term |
Definition |
|
AL |
Action
Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers
treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. |
|
HA
and HAL |
HA:
Health Advisory. An estimate of acceptable drinking water levels for a
chemical substance based on health effects information. HAL: Health Advisory
Level is a concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, poses a health
risk and may require a system to post a public notice. Health Advisories are
determined by US EPA. |
|
HI |
HI:
Hazard Index: A Hazard Index is used to assess the potential health impacts
associated with mixtures of contaminants. Hazard Index guidance for a class
of contaminants or mixture of contaminants may be determined by the US EPA or
Wisconsin Department of Health Services. If a Health Index is exceeded a
system may be required to post a public notice. |
|
Level
1 Assessment |
A
Level 1 assessment is a study of the water system to identify potential
problems and determine, if possible, why total coliform bacteria have been
found in our water system. |
|
Level
2 Assessment |
A
Level 2 assessment is a very detailed study of the water system to identify
potential problems and determine, if possible, why an E. coli MCL violation
has occurred or why total coliform bacteria have been found in our water
system, or both, on multiple occasions. |
|
MCL |
Maximum
Contaminant Level: 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. |
|
MCLG |
Maximum
Contaminant Level Goal: 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. |
|
MFL |
million

|
MRDL |
Maximum
residual disinfectant level: 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. |
|
MRDLG |
Maximum
residual disinfectant level goal: 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. |

Your water was tested for many contaminants last year. We are allowed to monitor for some contaminants less frequently than once a year. The following tables list only those contaminants which were detected in your water. If a contaminant was detected last year, it will appear in the following tables without a sample date. If the contaminant was not monitored last year, but was detected within the last 5 years, it will appear in the tables below along with the sample date.

While your drinking water meets USEPA's standard for arsenic, it does contain low levels of arsenic. USEPA's standard balances the current understanding of arsenic's possible health effects against the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water. USEPA continues to research the health effects of low levels of arsenic, which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at high concentrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory problems.
Lead can cause serious health effects in people of all ages, especially pregnant people, infants (both formula-fed and breastfed), and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and parts used in service lines and in home plumbing. Bonduel Waterworks is responsible for providing high quality drinking water and removing lead pipes but cannot control the variety of materials used in the plumbing in your home. Because lead levels may vary over time, lead exposure is possible even when your tap sampling results do not detect lead at one point in time. You can help protect yourself and your family by identifying and removing lead materials within your home plumbing and taking steps to reduce your family's risk. Using a filter, certified by an American National Standards Institute accredited certifier to reduce lead, is effective in reducing lead exposures. Follow the instructions provided with the filter to ensure the filter is used properly. Use only cold water for drinking, cooking, and making baby formula. Boiling water does not remove lead from water. Before using tap water for drinking, cooking, or making baby formula, flush your pipes for several minutes. You can do this by running your tap, taking a shower, doing laundry or a load of dishes. If you have a lead service line or galvanized requiring replacement service line, you may need to flush your pipes for a longer period. If you are concerned about lead in your water and wish to have your water tested, contact Bonduel Waterworks (Village Of Bonduel - Jim Welcing at (715) 758-8799). Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available at https://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
We are required to develop an initial inventory of service lines connected to our distribution system by October 16, 2024 and to make the inventory publicly accessible. You can access the service line inventory here/by: Contact Jesse Rankin at j.rankin@villageofbonduel.com for a copy of Bonduel system's service line material inventory.
