Water Quality Report 2011

2011 ANNUAL WATER QUALITY REPORT AND WATER CONSERVATION GUIDE
JEA is required by the EPA to mail you this Water Quality Report under the 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments. Todays regulatory programs are designed to monitor public drinking water supplies to ensure public health protection from potential drinking water contaminants.The annual Consumer Confidence Report is intended for all customers of community systems.
LETTER FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR
Dear valued JEA Water Customer: JEA is pleased to send you the 2012 edition of the Water Quality Report and Water Conservation Guide. This annual report, which utilities are required by federal regulation to distribute to all of their water customers, provides a comprehensive view of what is in your drinking water. The report details the results of our state-regulated water quality monitoring program. This comprehensive program involves the collection and analysis of 25,000 water samples taken throughout the year to ensure that your water supply is safe to drink. I encourage you to take a few minutes and look at the information presented in the following pages. Our community is very fortunate that its water source is the Floridan aquifer, located 800 to 1,200 feet below the lands surface, and highly protected by a thick layer of clay which prevents chemicals from entering the aquifer. Because the water is already so clean, it requires minimal treatment before leaving the water plant and entering the distribution system. Most of the elements which are found in our drinking water, and noted in this report, occur naturally in the aquifer at very low levels. Lead or copper found in drinking water does not come from the JEA system, but rather from contact with household plumbing fixtures. Water conservation is a key component to delay the potential need for the development of far more expensive drinking water sources. Not only will conservation protect the water quality of the aquifer, it will also help to lower your bill. Check the back of this report for water conservation facts and helpful tips. After more than three years of studies, in May of 2011, JEA received a 20-year renewal of our Consumptive Use Permit from the St. Johns River Water Management District. JEA demonstrated that the amount of water that we will withdrawal from the aquifer will have minimal impact to the quality of our water resource. JEA will continue to work with our customers and State and Federal regulatory agencies to ensure the protection of our water supply. We hope you find this report useful. If you would like additional copies of this report, they are available at JEA branches, public libraries and electronically online on jea.com. Sincerely
Jim Dickenson CEO and Managing Director JEA

Your water source is the Floridan aquifer, which is one of the major sources of groundwater in the United States. This highly productive aquifer system underlies all of Florida, southern Georgia, and small parts of adjacent Alabama and South Carolinaa total area of about 100,000 square miles. Our abundant, fresh, clean water supply is obtained by drilling wells deep into the aquifer. The water is then pumped to large water reservoirs where it is aerated, chlorinated for disinfection, and then distributed via pumping stations to you and other customers. In 2011 the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) performed Source Water Assessments on our systems. These assessments were conducted to provide information about any potential sources of contamination in the vicinity of our wells. The number of potential sources and susceptibility level of contamination identified for all wells in our systems are shown in the table below. Potential sources of contamination indentified could include landfills, above and underground fuel storage tanks, dry cleaning facilities, and wastewater disposal areas. The assessment results are available on the FDEP Source Water Assessment and Protection Program website at www.dep.state.fl.us/swapp.

JEA customers within all of Duval County and parts of St. Johns County are located within either our Major Grid or our small, hydraulically independent Mayport system. The Major Grid is comprised of 26 water treatment plants (WTPs) and two storage and repump facilities that are fully interconnected. This system is supported by 115 active wells and 64.5 million gallons of storage. These WTPs provide water to our customers through a water distribution system consisting of approximately 4,058 miles of water distribution mains ranging from two inches to 36 inches in diameter. The separate system in Mayport has two wells, 30,000 gallons of storage and three miles of water distribution mains.
YOUR PUBLIC W AT E R S Y S T E M
Our Nassau customers are provided water by the Lofton Oaks Grid consisting of six wells with 1.39 million gallons of storage and 107 miles of distribution mains. Customers within the remaining parts of St. Johns County are provided water by the Ponte Vedra Grid (three wells with 0.5 million gallons of storage and 31 miles of distribution mains), the Ponce de Leon Grid (four wells with 0.51 million gallons of storage and 13 miles of distribution mains), and the Marsh Harbor and Palm Valley water systems (through an interconnection with St. Johns County Utility Department). JEA owns and operates the Marsh Harbor and Palm Valley distribution systems.

HARDNESS I N F O R M AT I O N
These tables list the Total Hardness at each Water Treatment Plant. These values are the average of the hardness from each of the wells servicing the plant, and were sampled in OctoberDecember 2011.
WATER TREATMENT PLANT RESULT (ppm) GRAINS PER GALLON
What is Hard Water? Water is described as hard when it contains high levels of dissolved mineralsprimarily calcium and magnesium. These are naturally occurring soluble compounds that are present in the aquifer. Is it harmful? Hard water is not a health risk. Calcium and magnesium are both important to human health and are commonly taken as supplements or as antacids. Remove it with vinegar! Hard water leaves spots on dishes and windows, and a buildup of scale on plumbing fixtures and coffee pots. These can easily be dissolved with white distilled (common household) vinegar: Use vinegar in your dishwasher as a rinse-agent . Run it through a brewing cycle in your coffee pot then rinse thoroughly . Soak faucets overnight in vinegar to remove corrosion. JEA SER VICE AREA

To ensure the safety of our drinking water supply, JEA conducts a comprehensive monitoring program. We collect samples from a citywide system of sample taps or faucets and then test them for more than 100 bacteriological and chemical components. JEA also has in place a state-of-the-art operations network that can instantaneously report areas of low pressure, and monitor and control chlorine. These improvements enable us to better monitor our system and offer you an uninterrupted supply of fresh water.
ENSURING THE SAFETY OF OUR D R I N K I N G W AT E R
WHY AM I GETTING A WATER QUALITY REPORT?

The Annual Water Quality Report (or Consumer Confidence Report) is intended for all customers of community systems. This is an EPA requirement under the 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments and it is required that every customer receive this report by mail.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE DATA IN THIS BOOKLET

JEA routinely monitors for contaminants in our drinking water according to federal and state laws, rules, and regulations. Except where indicated otherwise, this report is based on the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2011. As authorized and approved by the Environmental Protection Agency, the state has reduced monitoring for certain requirements to less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. Some of our data, though representative, is more than one year old. The results consist of a listing of all contaminants detected in our drinking water during the sample period. Out of more than 100 contaminants for which JEA routinely test, only those that have been detected appear in the tables.
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CONTAMINANTS IN MY DRINKING WATER?

Actually, most of the contaminants present in our drinking water occur naturally in the aquifer or are picked up by the water as it travels over the surface of land or through the ground. Lead and copper contaminants can occur from household plumbing fixtures.
CROSS CONNECTION CONTROL

JEA ensures the safety of the public drinking water through the Cross Connection Control Program. Cross connections occur anywhere the public water supply is connected to potentially contaminated water sources including commercial process water, irrigation and fire sprinkler systems, swimming pools and alternative water sources such as wells, reclaimed water and ponds. Under certain circumstances, potentially contaminated water may backflow from a customers premise into the public water supply. By requiring the installation and annual inspection of backflow preventers on customer water connections, this vital program protects the public water supply from possible contamination. Our Cross Connection Control Programs goal is to prevent backflow, and the program is necessary to protect the health of our customers by keeping the water safe. For more information concerning this program, visit our Web site at https://www.jea.com/Manage_My_Account/Forms_and_Policies/Commercial_Customers/Cross-Connection_Control.aspx.
I M P O R TA N T I N F O R M AT I O N PROVIDED B Y T H E EPA
The following is general information and much of it does not necessarily pertain to JEA-supplied drinking water because of our deep-well, groundwater source.
IMPORTANT HEALTH INFORMATION
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections.These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA and CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.
CONTAMINANT SOURCE INFORMATION

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: (A) Microbial contaminants such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. (B) Inorganic contaminants such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. (C) Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. (D) Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. (E) Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations, that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water that must provide the same protection for public health. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline 1-800-426-4791.
TERMS AND ABBREVIATIONS

In the data tables you will find many terms and abbreviations that may not be familiar. To help you better understand these terms, weve provided the following definitions: Action Level (AL) the concentration of a contaminant, which if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water system must follow. Initial Distribution System Evaluation (IDSE) The IDSE is a one-time study conducted by water systems to identify distribution system locations with high concentrations of trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) in order to select compliance monitoring locations for the Stage 2 Disinfection Byproducts Rule (DBPR). Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) the highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) the level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. Non-Detect (ND) means not detected and indicates that the substance was not found by laboratory analysis. Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (g/L) one part by weight of analyte to 1 billion parts by weight of the water sample. Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/L) one part by weight of analyte to 1 million parts by weight of the water sample. Picocuries per Liter (pCi/L) a measure of radioactivity in water. Variances and Exemptions: State or EPA permission not to meet an MCL or a treatment technique under certain conditions. NOTE: MCLs are set at stringent levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated constituents, a person would have to drink two liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect.

ADDITIONAL H E A LT H E F F E C T S LANGUAGE
ALL SYSTEMS If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and
young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. JEA is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to two minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline, 1-800-426-4791, or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
LOFTON OAKS GRID: Coliforms are bacteria that are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other potentially harmful bacteria may be
present. Coliforms were found in more samples than allowed during the month of September and this was a warning of potential problems. Repeat sampling was initiated and the results were satisfactory.The areas were flushed and adequate chlorine was maintained.
JEA MAJOR GRID VARIANCE: The St. Johns Forrest WTP has two pairs of wells (Floridan and shallow) which
M O N I TO R I N G A N D R E P O R T I N G (M/R) OF COMPLIANCE I N F O R M AT I O N
are pumped simultaneously to blend the water to reduce sulfates that are naturally occurring in the Floridan aquifer in northern St. Johns County. The St. Johns River Water Management District has reduced the use of shallow wells due to the impacts on surrounding wetlands. EPA and available health data indicates that chronic exposure to low levels of sulfates is not harmful to health. The current MCL for sulfate is 250 mg/L and is based on aesthetic effects (i.e. taste and odor). The variance is in effect until such time that a sulfate level of 500 mg/L is either exceeded or FDEP adopts a primary MCL for sulfates that is more restrictive than 500 mg/L.
JEA W AT E R RESOURCE MASTER PLAN
JEA has in place an Annual Water Resource Master Plan for all water resources. Included in this plan are strategic capital improvements over the next 20 years which will support additional capacity for growth, reduce costs, protect natural resources and provide increased reliability while continuing to supply clean, safe water to our customers. Planned improvements to the north and west portions of the service area include a new regional water treatment plant (Northwest Regional) and the expansion of two existing smaller plants (Westlake and West Nassau). Several new major transmission system piping improvements ranging from 16 to 36inches in size are planned to support A drinking water well being repaired at the projected growth and to increase reliability. Main Street Water Treatment Plant.
In the south and east portion of the service area, JEA plans to construct two additional regional water treatment facilities (Greenland and RiverTown). Several new major transmission system piping improvements ranging from 16 to 30-inches in size are planned to support projected growth and to increase reliability. In 2010, JEA began implementing the recommendation to construct additional transmission improvements outlined in the Total Water Management Plan. Facilities planned are 36-inch, 30-inch, and 24-inch dedicated transmission mains to transport up to 24 million gallons per day from west to east across the St. Johns River. The construction of this river crossing project is scheduled for completion by 2014. As water from our current source of supply, the Floridan aquifer, becomes more limited, JEA is investigating the feasibility and expense of utilizing other potential sources of water supply. JEA is committed to conservation and the use of reclaimed water to reduce how much water may be needed from these more expensive alternative water supplies.

Why is there chlorine in my water?

Chlorine is required by the EPA to be maintained throughout public drinking water distribution systems in order to protect health. Chlorination of drinking water, used to kill or inactivate harmful organisms which can cause diseases, has been called the most significant health advance of the 20th century. Millions of people, mostly children, die each year in developing countries due to diseases that could be prevented by the chlorination of drinking water. JEA monitors over 300 separate locations throughout the water distribution system each month to ensure the proper minimum health-protecting levels of chlorine are maintained.
Why does my water have a rotten egg odor?
Tap Water vs. Bottled Water

You do not need to buy bottled water for health reasons since our drinking water meets all federal and State drinking water standards. Bottled water costs up to 1,000 times more per gallon than tap water, and is often more expensive than todays high-priced gasoline on a per gallon basis. Bottled water is not necessarily safer as it is not as well regulated since FDA requirements for bottled water are not as stringent as EPAs for public drinking water systems. Additionally, nationwide, just 15% of the tens of billions of bottles consumed each year are recycled, adding significantly to the waste stream, as well as requiring millions of barrels of oil to produce. As an alternative to purchasing bottled water, use a reusable bottle and fill it with JEA tap water.
The rotten egg odor in water is hydrogen sulfide and is produced by bacteria that break down naturally-occurring sulfate in the water. These bacteria usually thrive in the warm environment of hot water heaters. Increasing the water temperature to 160 degrees Fahrenheit for several hours will kill the bacteria in the water heater. Then the water heater should be well flushed before using again to supply the house. Be sure to turn the temperature back down too!
F R E Q U E N T LY A S K E D QUESTIONS
Should I install home water treatment equipment?

Since the water we deliver to you meets all federal and State drinking water standards, the decision to install a point-of-use (POU) or point-of-entry (POE) home water treatment device is a personal one. If you are concerned with the aesthetic qualities of your water, such as taste, odor, and hardness, you might consider a home treatment unit. These systems can cost thousands of dollars, so before investing in a costly unit, make sure that the system you intend to purchase can address your needs. Additionally, it should be certified by NSF International, the Water Quality Association, or Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. to ensure that the manufacturers performance claims are tested and validated. Finally, be sure to follow the directions for cleaning and maintaining the system in order to prevent the growth of potentially harmful bacteria.

C O N S E R V AT I O N TIPS
LOOK FOR THE W AT E R S E N S E L A B E L

WaterSense is a partnership program sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. A product or service with the WaterSense label is backed by independent testing and certification. Products that bear the WaterSense label meet all the criteria in EPAs specifications for water efficiency and performance, so you can feel confident that the product is water efficient and works well. WaterSense is partnering with utilities (including JEA), water districts, manufacturers, certified irrigation professionals and others to encourage more efficient water use.
A SHOWER
OF
SAVINGS
Showering is one of the leading ways we use water in the home, accounting for nearly 17 percent of residential indoor water use, or about 30 gallons per household per day. The average household could save more than 2,300 gallons per year by installing high-performance showerheads. And since these water savings will reduce demands on water heaters, households will also save energy. In fact, a household could save 300 kilowatt hours of electricity annually, enough to power its television use for about a year. Standard showerheads use 2.5 gallons of water per minute (gpm). High-performance showerheads that earn the WaterSense label must demonstrate that they use no more than 2.0 gpm. The WaterSense label also ensures that these products provide a satisfactory shower that is equal to or better than conventional showerheads on the market.
P O O L P AT R O L
We Floridians love our pools. To keep from having to use more water than necessary to fill them, correct any leaks or service problems as they occur -do not allow problems with your pool to linger. Properly maintain your pool to maximize the useful life of the water. Maintaining a proper chemical balance will keep the water clear, clean and safe, and regularly cleaning out debris will keep it enticing on a hot day. With proper maintenance, pools seldom require draining. Be sure to consult a professional before draining your pool.
LET YOUR DISHWASHER DO
THE
DISHES
It may come as a surprise that washing a load of dishes in the dishwasher uses less water than doing the same number of dishes by hand. (Dishwashers also do a better job of killing germs, because they use hotter water than you would normally use if washing by hand.) For each cycle, an ENERGY STAR qualified dishwasher model uses about four gallons of water; a non-qualified model uses about six gallons. Washing dishes with a dishwasher is more efficient than washing them by hand, and an ENERGY STAR qualified dishwasher is even more efficient. Compared with washing dishes by hand, you can save 5,000 gallons of water, $40 in utility costs, and 230 hours of your time annually by using an ENERGY STAR qualified dishwasher. An ENERGY STAR qualified dishwasher uses one-third less water and at least 41 percent less energy than a non-qualified model. By replacing a pre-1994 dishwasher with an ENERGY STAR qualified dishwasher, you can save at least $30 in annual utility costs.

FIX A LEAK, SAVE MONEY

Finding Leaks
Check the number or dial on your water meter, then dont flush the toilet, run the faucet, or use any water for two hours. At the end of the two hours, check the water meter again. If the meter does not read exactly the same, you probably have a leak. Walk through your house listening for running toilets and looking for drips.
Faucets
Time how often your faucet drips. A leaky faucet that drips at the rate of one drip per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons in a year! The washers and gaskets that hold your faucet together can wear down and cause drips. These parts usually can be replaced easily and inexpensively.
Outdoors
Check your garden hose for leaks where it connects to the side of the house. If it leaks when the hose is turned on, make sure the hose is screwed in tight. If that doesnt work, you may need to replace the nylon or rubber hose washer or wrap the spigot in pipe tape. If you have a sprinkler system that waters your lawn, check the system each spring before turning it on to make sure the sprinklers were not broken during the winter or have sprung any leaks.
Toilets
Find out if your toilet is leaking silently by placing a drop of food coloring in the toilet tank. If color shows up in the toilet bowl after 15 minutes without flushing, you have a leak. Many toilet leaks are caused because the flapper is decayed or broken. You can easily replace this inexpensive part of your toilet. If the problem is not just an old flapper and your family has to replace a leaky toilet, look for one with the WaterSense label to save both water and money on your familys water and sewer bill.
Showerheads
Showerheads can also get old and leak, even when the water is not on. A showerhead that drops just 10 drips in a minute wastes more than 500 gallons per year. Most leaky showerheads can be fixed by making sure theyre screwed in tight. Wrapping the showerhead in pipe tape, a special tape available at hardware stores, and using a wrench to tighten it will help.
Information from JEA, ENERGY STAR, WaterSense, EnergyIdeas Clearinghouse and Iowa Energy Center.
In one year, water leaks in your home can fill a backyard swimming pool! Water-wasting leaks include running toilets, dripping faucets and other leaking pipes around your home. Most of these leaks can be fixed easily and save your family more than 10 percent on water bills.
FOOL YOUR FAUCET

Faucets account for more than 15 percent of indoor household water use. While turning off the faucet while brushing your teeth or washing dishes is one way to save, there are also energy efficient products to reduce the amount of water used when the tap is turned on. For instance, highperformance sink faucets can reduce a sinks water flow by 30 percent or more without sacrificing performance. Or for just a few dollars, a small screen device called a faucet aerator can be screwed onto the tip of your faucetit adds air into the water stream so you can use less water to wash your hands or brush your teeth without noticing a difference in water flow. Installing these faucets and faucet accessories can help the average household save more than 500 gallons of water each year. And since youd be using less water, the demand for electricity to heat the water is reduced, as well, helping you lower both your water and electric bills.

Water Less
Mandatory lawn watering restrictions specify the days when you may water. These days depend on whether you have an odd or even numbered address, and on the time of year. So unless your day and number are up, make sure those sprinklers stay down. Additional restrictions include: Water only when needed and not between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Water for no more than one hour per zone. Restrictions apply to private wells and pumps, ground or surface water and water from public and private utilities. Some exceptions apply. Learn more at floridaswater.com.
