Public Water System ID:

City of Angleton

TX0200002

 The City of Angleton failed to collect the required number of triggered source bacteriological samples for fecal indicator monitoring of the groundwater system during April 2020 and October 2023. This monitoring is required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality’s “Drinking Water Standards” and the federal “Safe Drinking Water Act,” Public Law 95-523.  

Triggered source samples (otherwise known as raw water samples) are used to monitor water quality and indicate if the water is free of fecal indicator bacteria. Following every positive routine total coliform result in our distribution system, our water system is required to submit one triggered source sample for every active groundwater well. Failure to collect all required triggered source samples is a violation of the monitoring requirements, and we are required to notify you of this violation.  

What is being done?

In order to return our system to compliance, we had to collect a raw sample from each active well that we have. These samples were collected as of 02/21/2024.

Please share this information with all people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (i.e., 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 by mail.
