Angier Rd., Lodi <br /> The Environmental Health Department has received water test results taken by McCampbell <br /> Analytical Inc. The sample taken on February 27, 2018, was tested for the chemical <br /> Dibromochloropropane (DBCP) and showed results of 0.53 ug/L (parts per billion) in your <br /> domestic well at the above referenced address at 12360 N. Angier Rd. <br /> The State Department of Health Services adopted 0.2 parts per billion (ppb) for DBCP in public <br /> drinking water systems; however, private well owners are not legally required to meet this <br /> standard. As a precaution for yourself, members and guests, the Environmental Health <br /> Department would suggest that you have your domestic well tested annually to verify if the <br /> above-described chemical continues to be above state drinking standards. <br /> If your private and/or agricultural well analysis for Dibromochloropropane exceeded the State <br /> standard of 0.2 ppb, the following alternatives are being provided for your guidance: <br /> 1. As a temporary measure, it is recommended that bottled drinking water be used if this well <br /> is supplying drinking water. <br /> 2. In cases where exposure may continue indefinitely, such as with contaminated private wells, <br /> installation of a water treatment device, such as a filter, may be advisable. However, using <br /> bottled water or installing a water treatment device at the kitchen water tap, will not stop <br /> exposure to DBCP if it is in your private water supply. Most treatment units sold for home <br /> installation only treat water at the point of use, such as the kitchen faucet, and do not prevent <br /> exposure through skin contact, bathing or inhalation. As a result, point of entry filters, which <br /> treat water for the entire house, are recommended because they remove all potential sources <br /> of exposure. The "granular activated carbon" filter is the recommended water treatment <br /> device in this case. It operates by passing the well water through a charcoal bed, thereby <br /> absorbing the DBCP contaminant. Water treatment equipment suppliers and installers are <br /> listed in your phone directory yellow pages under"Water Filtration & Purification Equipment." <br /> 3. A replacement well is also an alternative for providing uncontaminated water. It is <br /> recommended that a test well be drilled, in order to determine water quality prior to final <br /> placement of the well. Water quality may be determined and monitored through water sample <br /> 1868 E. Hazelton Avenue I Stockton, California 95205 1 T 209 468-3420 1 F 209 464-0138 1 www.sjcehd.com <br />
