Public Water System Type: COMMUNITY
Public Water System Source: GROUND, SURFACE, PURCHASED
Primary Use: MUNICIPAL/CITY
Population Served: 59272
Size of Assessment Area: GROUND/SURFACE: This system obtains water from ground water wells and from one or more surface water intakes. Assessment areas were determined in two ways.
For ground water sources, a 5-year ground water travel time around each well was used to define the assessment area.
The 5-year ground water travel time is defined by the area from which water will drain to a well pumping at the average daily permitted rate
for a five year period of time. For surface water sources, the following were included:
(1) upstream areas within a 72-hour in-stream time of travel to each intake, including the 100-year floodplain plus a 200 foot buffer to the floodplain; and
(2) for lakes or reservoirs, the entire surface area of the lake or reservoir plus a 200 foot boundary.
Number of Unique Potential Contaminant Sources: 5*
*Note: This number represents the total of unique potential contaminant sources at this system which commonly is a subset of all of the records (rows) shown in the
table below. When these unique potential contaminant sources affect more than one well at this system, they will appear more than once in the following table. Map
