UNION PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT has levels of Total Trihalomethanes Above Drinking Water Standards.

Our water system recently failed a drinking water standard. Although this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what you should do, what happened, and what we are doing to correct this situation. We routinely monitor for the presence of drinking water contaminants. Testing results we received on December 10, 2020 show that our system exceeds the standard, or maximum contaminant level (MCL), for Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM). The MCL standards for Total Trihalomethanes are 80 ug/L. The average level of Total Trihalomethanes over the last year was 91.7 ug/L.
