SOURCE WATER ASSESSMENT:
The city of Hogansville is developing a Source Water Assessment Plan (SWAP
for portions of their Blue Creek and Flat Creek Watersheds that lie upstream of
the city water supply intakes. This first phase of the plan assesses the risks of con-
tamination facing your water supply. When complete, the initial SWAP report wil
include a ranked inventory of potential POllution sources within the water supply
basin that feeds into your water system., The next phase will determine steps that
can be taken to further protect the water supply by reducing these identified risks
This first phase is scheduled for complatK)n in December 2002. Please contact the
Hogansville Water Department (706-637-8158) or the Chattahoochee.Ftint Regioa
Development Center. SWAP Project Manager (770-854-6026 or 706-875-67211 for

SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT DISCLOSURE
Consumer Confidence Report
The staff of the Hogansville Water Filter Plant are pleased to have this opportunity
to present this annual report on the operation of the water plant and the quality of
/our drinking water.
Water plant personnel and the water distribution staff take a great deal of pride in
providing to our citizens the best-quality water possible. Constant testing and sam
piing procedures help to ensure that the content and quality o! your water is color
less, odorless and uniform in taste and appearance. The water plant, and the water
3roduced therein, meet and/or exceed all state and federal requirements Trainin(j
and seminars keep personnel abreast of new technologies and procedures We
are proud of the water we produce for the public and assure you that your water
is of the best possible quality.
The Safe Drinking Water (SWDA) Act was signed into law on December 16. 1974
The purpose of the law is to assure that the nation's water supply systems serving
the public meet minimum national standards for the protection of public health.
The SWDA covers all public water systems with piped water for human consump-
tion with at least 16 service connections or a system that regularly serves at least
25 individuals. The SWDA directed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to
establish national ddnking water standards. These standards limit the amount of
certain contaminants in bottled water,
All drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to conta.
at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does
not nec-essadly indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about
the contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA
safe dnnking water hotline, 1-800-426 4791.
