Annual Drinking Water Quality Report
Walcott, North Dakota
2024
We are pleased to provide you with this year's Annual Drinking Water Quality Report (Consumer Confidence Report) as required by the Safe Drinking Water Act. This report is designed to provide details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to standards set by regulatory agencies. This report is a snapshot of last year’s water quality. We are committed to providing you with information because informed customers are our best allies.
In the fall of 2017, the City of Walcott started purchasing potable water from Southeast Water Users District-East. The City of Walcott and SEWUD are participating in North Dakota’s Wellhead Protection Program. The North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality has also prepared a Source Water Assessment for Walcott and SEWUD. Copies of these programs are available upon request.
The City of Walcott and SEWUD in cooperation with the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality has completed the delineation and contaminant/land use inventory elements of the North Dakota Source Water Protection Program. Based on the information from these elements, the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality has determined that our source water is "not likely susceptible" to potential contaminants. No significant sources of contamination have been identified.
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact Brian Boyle at 701-469-2012. We want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. They are held on the first Monday of every month at 7:30 PM in the Walcott Fire Department. If you are aware of non-English speaking individuals who need help with the appropriate language translation, please call the numbers listed above.
The City of Walcott would appreciate it if large volume water customers would please post copies of the Annual Drinking Water Quality Report in conspicuous locations or distribute them to tenants, residents, patients, students, and/or employees, so individuals who consume the water, but do not receive a water bill can learn about our water system.
The city of Walcott routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water per Federal and State laws. The following table shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1st to December 31st, 2024. As authorized and approved by EPA, the state has reduced monitoring requirements for certain contaminants to less often than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. Some of our data [e.g., for inorganic contaminants], though representative, is more than one year old.
EPA requires monitoring of over 80 drinking water contaminants. Those contaminants listed in the table are the only contaminants detected in your drinking water. Unregulated contaminants are those for which the EPA has not established drinking water standards. The purpose of unregulated contaminant monitoring is to assist EPA in determining the occurrence of unregulated contaminants in drinking water and whether future regulation is warranted. We have learned through our monitoring and testing that some contaminants have been detected. The EPA has determined that your water IS SAFE at these levels.
Please call Brian Boyle at 701-469-2012 if you have questions. The City of Walcott works diligently to provide top quality water to every tap. We ask all our customers help us protect our water resources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life and our children’s future.
To ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulations which limit the amounts of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.
