Drinking Water Problem Corrected
Este Informe Contiene Informacion Muy Importante Sobre Su Agua De Beber. Traduzcalo O Hable Con Alguien Que Lo Entienda Bien.
As a customer of the Martinsburg Municipal Authority, you were notified on January 31, 2011 that the maximum concentration for nitrate in the drinking water was exceeded. We also notified you on February 23 and April 5, 2011 that the nitrate level was near but not over the limit but suggested that infants under six months of age, nursing mothers and pregnant women continue to follow the warning recommending that they do not drink the water.
We are pleased to report that the problem has been corrected and that those affected by nitrate can now drink the water. The Department of Environmental Protection has issued an operations permit for the Martinsburg Municipal Authorities newly constructed nitrate treatment plant. On July 21, 2011 the plant was put into service and has been operating per its design. This notice is to inform all water system customers that the nitrate level in the drinking water is below the maximum DEP limit and is suitable for consumption. Should you have any questions please call Randy Stoltz at 793-3213. Thank you for your patience as we worked to correct the problem.
