1
00:00:00,980 --> 00:00:03,400
Water is fundamental to life.

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:16,580
Plants, people, and everything in between all benefit for good old H2A, and in the city of Irving, what's also fundamental is the quality of that water.

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:25,320
That's why the city of Irving provides every customer with the annual water quality report to ensure that the water we drink is good to the very last drop.

4
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:30,460
The report tells you everything that's in your water and more importantly what's not.

5
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:37,060
A direct electronic link to a full report is sent to all water customers in the city spectrum.

6
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:42,940
While the paper document is available to everyone upon request and through this city's website,

7
00:00:42,940 --> 00:00:50,040
cityverving.org slash water dash report. The source of both tap and bottled water comes from rivers,

8
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:57,460
lakes, springs, and reservoirs just in a few. And sometimes substances can be picked up along the way

9
00:00:57,460 --> 00:01:04,500
and into our water. That's why the water quality report is so helpful and important to show you

10
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:09,400
exactly what's in our water within the regulations prescribed by the EPA and the FDA.

11
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:16,800
In the past year, water delivered to Irving homes and businesses have complied or exceeded

12
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,860
all state and federal drinking water requirements.

13
00:01:20,420 --> 00:01:24,940
But if there was a problem with our drink water, residues would be notified for use papers,

14
00:01:25,460 --> 00:01:28,820
radio, TV, and of course the city's Isle Art System.

15
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,140
So, where does our water come from?

16
00:01:32,620 --> 00:01:36,340
Well, it comes from here, Lake Chapin and Silver Springs.

17
00:01:36,340 --> 00:01:44,220
Our water must make a nearly 100 mile journey from Lake Chapman to Louisville Lake, and finally to your faucet.

18
00:01:45,820 --> 00:01:50,280
Did you know that the cost of the gallon of water Irving costs less than half a penny?

19
00:01:50,740 --> 00:01:55,780
Way less than a 2-meter bottle, so the gallon of milk won't even a small latte.

20
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,140
In the city of Irving the average water bill in the summer is less than $45.

21
00:02:00,140 --> 00:02:06,460
dollars. And the city utilizes every dollar back into our water system from pumping water

22
00:02:06,460 --> 00:02:13,200
treatment to infrastructure and meter reading. It all works for you. For questions about the water
