Our drinking water is safe.
 

The Board of Directors and staff of Lakeway Municipal Utility District are dedicated to supplying safe and sufficient drinking water to our neighbors.  That's important because we live and work here, too.  We drink the water, and our children do, too.

Mindful of the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1996, Lakeway MUD is happy to share information about your drinking water.  The information in this report is based on tests conducted in 2006.

The District complied with all state and federal water quality standards, and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has confirmed the safety of our drinking water.  Since our water meets federal standards, there may not be any health-based benefits to purchasing bottled water or point-of-use devices. 

Our water meets or exceeds standards.  Lakeway Municipal Utility District is a political subdivision of the State of Texas.  It produces drinking water from Lake Travis.   As the charts demonstrate, the District was in full compliance with the State of Texas and the EPA national primary drinking water regulations during the 12-month period covered by this report, and we continue to be in compliance.

 

Opportunities for input.  For more information on our drinking water or any aspect of our operations, contact the District Office at 261-6222.  Or visit a meeting of the District Board of Directors at 9:30 a.m. on the second Wednesday of each month at the District Office, 1097 Lohmans Crossing.
 

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 the water poses a health risk.   More information about contaminants and potential health effects is available by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791.


Special Notice for the elderly, infants, cancer patients, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune problems...
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.  Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, persons with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from infections.  These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.  EPA/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
