Dear Citizens,
City Council
elections were
held on May 6.
No matter how
you voted, I want
to thank all of
you for coming out and making
your voices heard. Jeremy
Tompkins, Linda Eilenfeldt and I
were re-elected for another term,
and we want to thank you from the
bottom of our hearts for placing
your trust in us for the next three
years. We will continue to do our
best and hope you will never
hesitate to contact any of us if you
have concerns.
I've often said that our water is a
precious resource and we should
always be looking for ways to
conserve. This issue of Euless Today
includes our annual Water Quality
Report. It contains information on
where our water comes from as
well as results from water tests. If
you have questions about our
water, you can call (817) 685-1581
or visit www.eulesstx.gov/Water.
Did you know...?
You can host a party at the Aquatic Park or
Wilshire Pool? Visit www. eulesstx.gov/

Vermi-Composting (that's right, worms)
July 19, 7 p.m., Euless City Hall, 201 N. Ector Dr.
Vermicomposting is a process that relies on worms and microorganisms to
help convert organic materials such as fruit and vegetables to a valuable soil
amendment. Worms will eat food scraps, coffee grounds and overripe fruit and
convert those items into "black gold." More importantly, anyone can have a
worm bin.
Learn about the ins and outs of a worm bin such as bedding, worm care,
feeding, harvesting as well as the beneficial uses for this amazing black gold.
Afterward, we will build a worm bin on site to take home with you, worms and
all! The cost is $15 and you must have a reservation if you would like to have
a worm bin. Please call Betsy Deck at 817-685-1821 or email
bdeck@eulesstx.gov for more information.
About the speaker: Lori De La Cruz, ABC, specializes in sustainability education and project
planning and implementation. She is a SWANA-certified Recycling Systems Manager, a
Master Composter and Master Composter Trainer. Her specialties include environmental and
sustainability education and sustainability issues as they relate to American history.

2016 Annual Water Quality Report

Our Drinking Water Meets or Exceeds All Federal (EPA) Drinking
Water Requirements
This report is intended to provide you with important information
about your drinking water and the efforts made by the water system
to provide safe drinking water. The City of Euless is a member of the
American Water Works Association and the Texas Water Utilities
Association.
Public Participation Opportunities:
We encourage public interest and participation in our community’s
decisions affecting drinking water. Regular City Council meetings
take place on the second & fourth Tuesdays of the month, at 7 p.m.
in Euless City Hall, 201 N. Ector Dr. The public is welcome. (817)
685-1400.
Water Sources:
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water)
include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As
water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it
dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive
material, and can pickup substances resulting from the presence of
animals or from human activity.
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected
to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The
presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water
poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and
potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPAs Safe
Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
• Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may
come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural
livestock operations, and wildlife.
• Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, can be naturally-
occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or
domestic wastewater discharges, oil & gas production, mining, or
farming.
• Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of
sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential
uses.
• Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile
organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and
petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban
storm water runoff, and septic systems.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes
regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water
provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits
for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same
protection for public health.
Contaminants may be found in drinking water that may cause taste,
color, or odor problems. These types of problems are not necessarily
causes for health concerns. For more information on taste, odor, or
color of drinking water, please contact the system's business office.
Special Notice
You may be more vulnerable than the general population to certain
microbial contaminants, such as Cryptosporidium, in drinking water.
Infants, some elderly, or immunocompromised persons such as
those undergoing chemotherapy for cancer; persons who have
undergone organ transplants; those who are undergoing treatment
with steroids; and people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system
disorders, can be particularly at risk from infections. You should seek
advice about drinking water from your physician or health care
providers. Additional guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the
risk of infection by Cryptosporidium are available from the Safe
Drinking Water Hotline.
Required Additional Health Information for Lead
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems,
especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking
water is primarily from materials and components associated with
service lines and home plumbing. We are responsible for providing
high quality drinking water, but we cannot control the variety of
materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been
sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead
exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before
using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead
in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information
on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to
minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline
or at www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
Where do we get our Drinking Water?
Our drinking water is obtained from surface and ground water
sources. It is supplied by Trinity River Authority (Cedar Creek and
Richland Chambers Lakes) and Euless water wells (Trinity Aquifer).
A Source Water Susceptibility Assessment for your drinking water
source(s) is currently being updated by the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality. This information describes the susceptibility
and types of constituents that may come into contact with your
drinking water source based on human activities and natural
conditions. The information contained in the assessment allows us
to focus source water protection strategies.
For more information about your sources of water, please refer to the
Source Water Assessment Viewer available at the following URL:
http://www.tceq.texas.gov/gis/swaview. Further details about sources
and source-water assessments are available at
http://dww.tceq.state.tx.us/DWW.
