[0:00] Water is fundamental to life.
[0:06] 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.
[0:17] 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.
[0:25] The report tells you everything that's in your water and more importantly what's not.
[0:31] A direct electronic link to a full report is sent to all water customers in the city spectrum.
[0:37] While the paper document is available to everyone upon request and through this city's website,
[0:42] cityverving.org slash water dash report. The source of both tap and bottled water comes from rivers,
[0:50] lakes, springs, and reservoirs just in a few. And sometimes substances can be picked up along the way
[0:57] and into our water. That's why the water quality report is so helpful and important to show you
[1:04] exactly what's in our water within the regulations prescribed by the EPA and the FDA.
[1:10] In the past year, water delivered to Irving homes and businesses have complied or exceeded
[1:16] all state and federal drinking water requirements.
[1:20] But if there was a problem with our drink water, residues would be notified for use papers,
[1:25] radio, TV, and of course the city's Isle Art System.
[1:29] So, where does our water come from?
[1:32] Well, it comes from here, Lake Chapin and Silver Springs.
[1:36] Our water must make a nearly 100 mile journey from Lake Chapman to Louisville Lake, and finally to your faucet.
[1:45] Did you know that the cost of the gallon of water Irving costs less than half a penny?
[1:50] Way less than a 2-meter bottle, so the gallon of milk won't even a small latte.
[1:56] In the city of Irving the average water bill in the summer is less than $45.
[2:00] dollars. And the city utilizes every dollar back into our water system from pumping water
[2:06] treatment to infrastructure and meter reading. It all works for you. For questions about the water
[2:13] quality report or the consumer confidence report, you can call the city's water utility department
[2:18] environmental compliance division. At 977-721-2281. And don't forget, you can find the full water
