Our System
The Mayer Water District service area is approximately 48 square miles. It has 26 miles of pipe. The District currently has 12 wells, 2 of which are currently off line. These wells are located primarily along the Big Bug Creek. The wells range in depth from 100 to 500 feet deep. There are 5 storage tanks within the system. At this time there are 610 active hook-ups.
The District uses chlorination as its means of disinfection. Monthly testing is done to ensure the water is safe. Every year more extensive testing is done for contaminants. Your Consumer Confidence report tells you what was tested that year and the results.
It should be noted that the most prevalent problem that most water providers have is with arsenic. Arsenic is a natural occurring mineral. Recently the EPA decided to lower that maximum amount of arsenic from 50 parts per billion (ppb), which it had been since 1948, to 10 ppb. The two wells that the District had to take off line tested for arsenic at around 14 ppb.
