Systems are required to maintain a minimum level of disinfectant to kill microbes that can cause acute diarrhea, nausea, or other life-threatening illnesses. The minimum level of free chlorine required in the distribution system is 0.2 milligrams per liter (mg/L), if free chlorine is used. The minimum level of total chlorine (chloramines) required in the distribution is 0.5 mg/L, if chlorine and ammonia are added to the water to form monochloramine. The maximum residual disinfectant level (MRDL) is 4.0 mg/L, which is based on a running annual average of all samples in the distribution system. A single high sample will not necessarily put the system in violation, as long as the monthly average is below 4.0 mg/L.

These samples are not required by EPA or TCEQ. They are part of the process control sampling to provide New Fairview Municipal Utility District No. 1 and residents a better understanding of the chemistry of the potable water. The test includes chlorine, metals, TTHMs, Iron Related Bacteria, Sulfate Reducing Bacteria, and Hardness.
