PUBLIC NOTICE-CUSTOMERS OF HUME PWS FAILURE TO MEET MICROBIOLOGICAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS FOR DRINKING WATER

Este informe contiene information muy importante sobre su agua potable. Tradúzcalo o hable con alguien que lo entienda bien.

Our water system is required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health standards. During May 2025, we did not properly meet all monitoring requirements for total coliform bacteria, and therefore, cannot be sure of the quality of our drinking water during that time. This is a violation of Missouri Public Drinking Water Regulations.

Although this incident was not an emergency, as our customers you have a right to know what happened and what we did to correct the situation. Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or by distributing copies by hand or mail.

Provide explanation of cause of monitoring failure:

The testing for May 2025 was missed. Testing has since been done and passed.

For more information, please contact water system staff indicated below:

Doug Hinton at 660.643.7111 or 12636 SW Main St, Hume MO 64752

Additionally, you may contact the Missouri Department of Natural Resources’ Kansas City Regional Office at 816-251-0700 or Public Drinking Water Branch at 573-526-6925.
