IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
MOAPA VALLEY WATER DISTRICT (NV0000160)
Monitoring Requirements Not Met
What happened?
Our water system is required to monitor your drinking water for specific analytes on a regular basis.
Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health
standards. During 2015, our water system violated a drinking water standard by monitoring an item in
Table 1 outside of the required monitoring period. (March instead of February)
What is being done?
Sampling for the contaminants will be initiated during 2016, and you will be notified of any violation of the
standards. We are aware of the variables which contributed to the missed monitoring period.
Unfortunately, we were unable to receive credit for monitoring events outside of specified monitoring
periods.
What does this mean to me?
Although this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what
we did to correct this situation. You do not need to boil water or use an alternative source of water at
this time.
What should I do?
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not
have received this notice directly (e.g. people in apartments, nursing homes, schools or businesses.) You
can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
