McDulin called the meeting to order at 10:10 a.m. Following the Lord’s Prayer led by Betty Purdin everyone recited the Pledge of Allegiance. Roll Call: Present: Blackburn, Kinney, Kirk, McDulin, Meyer, Purdin, Robinson and Mgr. Cahall Absent: Johnson (ex.) & Lindy (ex.) Minutes: The motion to approve the minutes of the May meeting as published in the June Waynoka Newsletter was made by Meyer, seconded by Purdin and passed by those present. Treasurer’s Report (Betty Purdin): The treasurer stated that she hoped everyone had picked up a copy of the financial report to review. She told everyone to feel free to ask questions. Purdin noted that income was up and expenses were down this month. She thanked everyone for their continued support which is desperately needed. Manager’s Report (Paul Cahall): The 1982 dump truck ‘blew its engine’ and was replaced with a truck 17 years newer. An engineer is being hired to assist in developing the emergency action plan for the dam and the maintenance and operations manual which are both ODNR requirements. The Manager believes that he obtained a lot of valuable information while attending the OLCA meeting. He shared, “The problems that we have are not big compared to other places. Our dam is not falling in and our worst road is better than the main road at Cinnamon Lake.” The sealing of the parking lot at the lodge/lounge/rec center complex is finished. The Manager is aware that the back gate issue is a concern for property owners. With the assistance of Aristotle Roussos Frontier is now paying attention to the problem which relates to inconsistent network speeds. The new policy is that when the back gate fails Security will be there as soon as someone is available to monitor the traffic until the gate functions properly. Next week interviews will be held for a part-time sworn officer. The engineering for the campground upgrades has begun. Brown Co. Asphalt will be scheduled to resurface 4.5 to 5 miles of roads this summer. Purdin then asked property owners to review page three of the financial report to see how the assessments are being spent. Other Reports: Security (Cahall for Gordon Ellis): During the month of May a large number of vehicles and boat stickers were issued by Security. Cahall read Sections 10.3.1, 10.4.1 and 10.4.2 of the WPOA Code of Regulations (Blue Book) which detail the documents required to obtain stickers. He also shared Section VI B of the WPOA Rules and Regulations (Yellow Book) which details the documents needed to obtain stickers for newly purchased boats and vehicles. The monthly security reports are now being posted on the Lake’s website at www.lakewaynoka.com. Long Range Planning (Ron Gloss): Gloss reported that approximately 150 surveys were returned. The information will be compiled and reported in a future newsletter. The job descriptions will be completed in the next couple of months. The work on the website continues. Contact either John Buskey or A.J. Hartley in the office with comments and/or information for the website at www.lakewaynoka.com. Pres. McDulin attended the today’s meeting and is reviewing the long range plan created by this committee. Lake Advisory (George Kinney): During the June meeting the Committee discussed the areas with the highest levels of TSS (total suspended solids). It was reported that the WPOA recently purchased at public auction two lots near the entrance of Straight Creek into the Lake. These lots will be used for lake access if needed in the future. The final report on Phases I and II was reviewed at the WPOA workshop meeting. The Board approved payment of the expense of $38,774.40 to Mad Scientists & Associates ($25,980.00 in professional service fees and $12,794.40 in other direct costs such as mileage and equipment use, soil and water lab analyses and engineering subcontracting). Work on Phases III and IV will begin in June with completion in August of 2011. The volume of runoff entering the Lake during normal rainfall episodes and storm events in selected coves (those with high TSS) will be determined; potential erosion control measures for the severely eroded west bank of Straight Creek will be evaluated; the potential for a created wetland and/or a sedimentation fore bay near Waynoka Drive to reduce inflowing sediment from Straight Creek will be analyzed; a list of recommended native submerged vegetation appropriate for providing fish habitat will be created; and the best method(s) for re-establishing vegetation within the Lake will be determined. Phase V will include the results of the total study and recommendations for corrective long term actions to improve and enhance the health of the Lake. Nominating (John McDulin): McDulin noted that Valerie Bullock, commissioner of elections, is resigning from this position. She was recognized for her many years of service in this capacity. Campground (Walt Robinson): Robinson shared the upcoming June and July campground events: a youth dance - 6/18; chalk drawing - 6/25; a bike parade and a corn hole tournament - 7/03; the youth fishing tournament on Waynoka Day - 7/16; and a campground picnic - 7/30. The Chapel (Monica West): West announced that the new pastor is Br. Stoney Hamilton. She invited everyone to the service and Sunday School each Sunday at 10 a.m. and the Wednesday evening service at 7 p.m. Former Pastor Bonnie Keith then shared, “I am a proud man to have been a part of the resurrection of the community church here at Lake Waynoka!” Even though Keith has retired as pastor of the Chapel he is still living here and is available to anyone who might need his services as a minister. He thanked the Lord, the Boards of the WPOA and the WRWSD and the many who helped build the Chapel. (CONTINUED ON PAGE 5) Waynoka News - 4 Since1953 CAHALL BROS., INC.

Waynoka News - 5 Civic Club (Joe Farrell): The Civic Club chairs Waynoka Day this year. Farrell reminded all organizations selling food to get their permits from the Brown Co. Health Dept. He shared the agenda for the day and asked Pres. McDulin to prepare comments of welcome for the opening ceremony at noon on July 16th. He also asked the Board to approve ‘an open gate’ for the event. He noted that there is not a flag flying at any of the WPOA buildings inside the gates of Lake Waynoka. He requested that a flag be displayed somewhere during the Waynoka Day activities. Shawnee Squaws (Kathy Farrell/Joanne Coker): Farrell thanked the committee that organized the Veterans Picnic as well as all of the Squaws and spouses who made the day a very special event for everyone. The Squaws will be selling split the pot tickets to support the fireworks and ice cream floats on Waynoka Day. All ladies were invited to join the Squaws at their next meeting on July 13th at 10 a.m. Farrell shared that the Squaws made a trip to Lake Lorelei at the invitation of their ladies’ group. A good time was had by all! As chairperson of the VA picnic Coker thanked Mgr. Cahall and ‘the men of maintenance’ for their assistance with the picnic. She was especially pleased with the ramp that was built to allow easy wheelchair access to the bathhouse restrooms. It was greatly appreciated by both the wheelchair bound vets and their caregivers. Lake Committee (Prescilla Redick): The dates of the June and July tournaments were shared. Waynoka Tribe (Monica West): West shared several upcoming events for the children at Lake Waynoka: a magic show (June 11 at 6 p.m. in the Lodge), a pool party for families (June 25 at 6 p.m. at the Pool) and the annual sand sculpture contest (July 2 at 11 a.m. on the Beach). Resolutions and Motions: none Unfinished Business: none New Business: Pres. McDulin then shared the items discussed during the June workshop meeting: * The previously shared reports of the Manager, the Treasurer, and the Lake Advisory Committee were given. * The rental policy for the rec center and gym, the pool and pavilion, and the recreation areas was reviewed and approved. Copies of the policy are available at the rec center office and the administration building office. * Chief Ellis has completed his traffic survey and shared his recommendations for additional signage and speed limit changes. Every intersection will have signage of some kind. Several roads will now have a speed limit of 25 mph. The monies for this project were approved from the roads capital fund. * A disparity in overtime pay for part-time employees was discussed. It was decided that all employees will be paid time and a half for working on holidays. * The many reports compiled for the Board will now be generated only by email to save on paper and labor costs. * The ‘open gate’ for the art show sponsored by the Civic Club on August 20th and 21st was approved. * Chief Ellis reported difficulty getting the company recommended to repair our sirens to come to the Lake for an evaluation and repair. The Manager will contact the manufacturer of the sirens to obtain the names of other companies that provide the same service. * There was much discussion related to impending rate increases for water and sewage from the WRWSD. The Boards will meet jointly to discuss this concern early in July. * After distributing a letter of concern from a property owner McDulin asked that all Board members agree that the names of property owners sharing concerns will remain strictly confidential to allow a free flow of information without consequence. All agreed. * The ‘open gate’ for Waynoka Day was approved. * The Board met with the health insurance broker to discuss the ‘healthy’ rate increase for the next year. Several options were offered and all reflect an increase. The finance committees from the WPOA and the WRWSD will meet July 13th at 9 a.m. to discuss this concern. Membership Concerns: Betty DeHass (Lot #3656): DeHass and the occupants of her car were injured in a major accident in Lake Waynoka on May 21st during the annual yard sale. DeHass shared her displeasure about the response and concern of Security that day. She was distressed that the emergency vehicle in which she was transported drove by the back gate exit because there was no assistance or signage. However, she thanked both Chief Ellis and Manager Cahall for their actions since the accident. She is very pleased that one of the occupants of the car has been given three months use of the rec center facilities to aid her recovery. DeHass strongly suggested that the speeding problems here be addressed. She believes a survey asking property owners to share specific concerns about speeding, traffic, etc. be distributed so that attention can be directed toward the areas that residents consider to be problems. McDulin noted that Chief Ellis’ plan to provide signage is in place and that maps showing where the various signs are posted for everyone to review. Mgr. Cahall noted that a sworn part-time officer will be hired in part to help address the speeding problem in some areas of the Lake. Only sworn officers may run radar. Bert Freeman (Lot #443): Freeman asked if there is a policy about the use of fireworks by property owners. The Manager responded that he had recently discussed this issue with Chief Ellis. Although the rules and regulations of the WPOA do not address this, the laws of the State of Ohio do apply within the gates of Lake Waynoka. Private firework displays are illegal in the State of Ohio and any complaints will be investigated by Security. Gilbert Esterkamp (Lot #2004): Esterkamp questioned the purchase of the dump truck suggesting that it was more truck than the maintenance staff needs to do the work required here at the Lake. Cahall responded that this truck is used to haul gravel and is the (CONTINUED ON PAGE 6) Waynoka News - 6 only vehicle we own that will pull the bulldozer or track hoe. The 1998 truck (previously owned by Clinton Co.) also came with an 8’ state highway plow. Cahall stated, “It looks good! It runs good! And the WPOA paid ‘out the door’ just under $13K for it. This investment will be paid back easily within less than two years by not having to hire others to bring in gravel and haul our equipment around.” Esterkamp also questioned the way the mowing is being done this year. Judy Bankes (Lot #1816): Bankes shared her concern about the fenced play area at the Beach. There is water inside this enclosed area along the edge next to the Lake. She believes even this small amount of water can be of danger to the young children whom we are trying to protect by providing this fenced play area. Monica West (Lot #155): West shared her observation that there is still inadequate seating at the Pool. Often all of the chairs and tables are occupied and visitors sit in the grass. Cahall responded that the WPOA has recently purchased ten tables and forty chairs. He noted no lounge chairs were purchased, but if there is still a need the purchase of more seating can be addressed ‘fairly easily’. Vince DeVol (Lot #857): DeVol wondered if there is anything in place ‘to police the actions of the Marina’. DeVol lives across from the Marina and shared his displeasure about how it looks. He believes ‘the Marina is a reflection of our community and its appearance is pretty pathetic’. Donna Wyatt (Lot #3194): Wyatt asked that the Board revisit the issue of how to allow the use of the pavilion located just outside the pool area by those using the Pool. Aristotle Roussos (Lot #458): Roussos made three suggestions. First the Board may want to appoint an individual to be an agent or a liaison to relay concerns of property owners to the Board so as to maintain confidentiality. Secondly, perhaps the speeding problem could be addressed with speed bumps. And lastly, the laws regarding the use of fireworks by private individuals should be ‘front page news’ in the next issue of the Waynoka Newsletter. Dick Bankes (Lot #1816): Bankes shared his experience when involved in a ‘massive traffic jam’ at the back gate. A contractor hauling a large piece of equipment on a trailer was refused entry into the Lake and had no place to turn around. Bankes suggested that signage be placed at Pool-Kuntz Rd. and Weis Rd. stating that the entrance ahead into Lake Waynoka is for vehicles with stickers only. He also suggested that Security have a policy that in such a situation someone is sent to the back gate to assist with a turn-around inside the Lake’s boundaries and then send the contractor and his equipment back out the gate. It was stated that this is the present policy. Adjournment: The motion to adjourn was made by Purdin, seconded by Kinney, and passed by a unanimous vote at 11:00 a.m. Respectfully submitted, Joanne A.

Culver & Mgr. Cahall Absent: none Minutes: The minutes of the May 6th meeting were approved. Treasurer’s Report (John Buskey): The cash balance (including CDs) in the WRWSD budget totaled $995,285.51 as of May 31st. This balance reflects an increase of $20K+ since April 30th due to the receipt of $4,266.00 in water availability income, $3,679.00 in bond service assessments, and $9050.00 for a new water tap and a new sewer tap. About 87.6% of the water availability fees and about 91.5% of the sewer assessment fees budgeted for 2011 have been received through May 31st. In June a bond payment of $55K and a loan payment of $12,500.00 for the carbon filters will be made. The CDs which are a reserve (as required by law) to cover the annual bond payments mature in July. The CDs will be reinvested at the best rate that can be found. The current rate is 4.5% for 36 months. The proposed budget for 2012 was discussed and Motion #2011-08 was made, seconded and passed. (See Motions and Resolutions below for the details.) The revised 2011 five year capital improvement plan/maintenance effort was reviewed and Motion #2011-09 was made, seconded and passed. (See Motions and Resolutions below for the details.) A draft of the WRWSD resolution to provide for bulk rate fees for water and sewer usage fees by the WPOA was reviewed and discussed. The WPOA Board will review and discuss the draft of this resolution at its workshop meeting on June 10th. Legal counsel is also reviewing this document at the present time. The 2011 water and sewer rate survey done by the city of Oakwood, Ohio (near Dayton) was shared. The rates of 63 municipalities are compared in this survey. Manager’s Report (Paul Cahall): Cahall reported that the water meter readings went much better this month. Among the reasons responsible for this improvement may be the replacement of the transmitter receiver in the truck unit (at the expense of Utility Service & Supply, Inc.) and less water in many of the pits. The center caps in the lids will be installed soon. A survey of the wireless requirements needed for WRWSD/WPOA owned buildings has been done. An estimate of costs to provide a wireless system that works and that the company that conducted the survey will guarantee will be available for review in the near future. There was nothing to report regarding the Klein vs. the WRWSD lawsuit. Plant Supt.’s Report (George Culver): Culver requested that the Board not have any engineering related to the sewer plant expansion done at the present time. The discharge permit issued for five years by the EPA is up for renewal this year. Culver suggested that the Board wait until the EPA’s report concerning the discharge requirements/suggestions is received when the permit is renewed. After review of this information the Board can determine if it is appropriate to move forward with the project. Other Business Items: Cahall shared that the reclamation work related to the installation of the sewer back up valves has begun. Cahall and Buskey had no official report regarding their attendance at the Ohio Lake Com-munity Association meeting at the end of May. However, Cahall commented, “That if anyone goes to one of these meetings you will appreciate where you live after hearing the ‘stories’ of other lake communities.” Gloss presented Motion #2011-10 related to the creation of a permanent shut-off fee for water and sewer services. It was decided that the fee will be $300.00. To reconnect these services the fee will be the same as the fees for new construction. Motion #2011-10 was made, seconded and passed. (See Motions and Resolutions below for the details.) Cahall noted that after further information was obtained engineering will not be required to create an emergency plan for either the WRWSD’s back up lake or the above ground reservoir. Buskey reported that the lighting has not yet been installed at the water tower. Gloss presented Motion #2011-11 to approve the new Rules & Regulations Section 7.13 regarding Fire Hydrants. Motion #2011-11 was made, seconded and passed. (See Motions and Resolutions below for the details.) Cahall asked that all information for the website be sent to the office or John Buskey. Buskey noted that Security Chief Ellis will be submitting both his monthly reports and an annual report for inclusion on the website. The WRWSD Board agreed to pay 50% of the cost of the information technology services provided by A.J. Hartley during 2011. A discussion regarding the WRWSD workshop meeting day and time followed. The Board decided that the new meeting day and time would be the first Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. (Secretary’s Note: After the meeting had adjourned two Board members realized they had a conflict with this meeting day and time. Therefore further discussion will be necessary.) Motions and Resolutions: • Motion #2011-08 was made by Buskey and seconded by Gloss to approve the 2012 Budget with income of $833,555.00 and expenses of $787,284.00. The vote was taken and the motion passed with seven yea votes. • Motion #2011-09 was made by Buskey and seconded by Purdin to approve the revised 2011 five year capital improvements plan/ maintenance effort dated June 2, 2011 and to amend the operating budget as projects occur and monies are expended. The vote was taken and the motion passed with seven yea votes. • Motion #2011-10 was made by Gloss and seconded by Redick to create a permanent shut-off fee of $300.00 to be paid by a property owner who wants water and sewer service removed permanently from a property, as provided for in Section 8.3 of the WRWSD Procedural Rules & Regulations adopted April 1, 2011. The vote was taken and the motion passed with seven yea votes. • Motion #2011-11 was made by Gloss and seconded by Buskey to approve the revised Rules & Regulations Section 7.13 Fire Hydrants which replaces the existing section in its entirety created by Motion #2001-04 and modified by Motion #2011-04. The vote was taken and the motion passed with seven yea votes. Adjournment: The motion to adjourn was made by Doughman and seconded by Redick. All were in favor and the meeting was adjourned at 9:50 a.m. Respectfully submitted, Joanne A.

Cahall Absent: none Minutes: The minutes of the June 3rd workshop meeting were approved as read. Gloss reminded everyone to go to www.lakewaynoka.com to view the minutes of WRWSD meetings. Treasurer’s Report (John Buskey): The workshop minutes of June 3rd reported the current finances of the WRWSD as of May 31st. About 55% of the income budgeted for 2011has been received thus far this year even though only 41% of the year has passed. However, anticipated insurance increases and personnel actions will make the budget “tight” by year’s end. Manager’s Report (Paul Cahall): Much of the manager’s report was shared in the workshop minutes of June 3rd. As noted the meter readings went much better this month. The manager is confident that ‘the bills are correct as far they can determine’. Nevertheless, property owners were encouraged to contact the office if they have questions concerning their WRWSD monthly bills. About half of the reclamation yard work has been finished. It is anticipated that all yards will be done by the end of the month. President’s Report (Ron Gloss): • Gloss asked how many meters had issues when this month’s readings were done. Cahall responded that there was issue with about 65 meters and of those there was only a small number that had to be physically read (stop the truck, get out and stand over the meter pit to read the meter). These few meters would be individually evaluated by the Lake’s staff and Utility Service & Supply, Inc. to determine the reason(s) why difficulties are being experienced reading each one. • Gloss shared that the WRWSD Board has scheduled a meeting for Friday, June 17th at 9 a.m. with a representative from RCAP to view a PowerPoint presentation on how to conduct a rate study. The representative will also advise the Board on how to select an engineer to assist with the future expansion of the sewer plant. • Gloss made Motion #2011-12 to change the workshop meeting day and time to the last Monday of the month at 7 p.m. beginning in July 2011. (See Motions and Resolutions below for the details.) Motions and Resolutions: Motion #2011-12 was made by Gloss and seconded by Doughman to change the WRWSD workshop meeting day and time from the first Friday of the month at 8:00 a.m. to the last Monday of the month at 7 p.m. starting in July 2011. The vote was taken and the motion passed with seven yea votes. Membership Concerns: Andy Bilhardt (Lot #453): Bilhardt shared his experience after reviewing his water bill. He discovered that he had a leak in his home. All property owners are encouraged to review their monthly bills for variations from the usual readings. Gilbert Esterkamp (Lot #2004): Esterkamp suggested that the date the water meters are read be included on the monthly bills. Bill Marshall (Lot #1777): Marshall asked how far into the future is it anticipated that the sewer plant will need to be expanded. Gloss responded that there are a number of factors that need to be considered to determine this. This year the Lake is requesting an increase in the discharge capacity with the renewal of its discharge permit. The response of the EPA will be a factor. The rate at which homes continue to be built is a factor. The correction of surface water infiltration problems such as done in the campground as well as a review of homes that may be routing surface water into their sump pumps and thus the sewer system are factors. It is believed that an expansion is not immediate, but may be needed in a few years (5 plus?). Gloss noted that the WRWSD rules and regulations no longer allow a house to be built with a septic system. Therefore, it is important that the capacity of the sewer plant continue to meet the needs of the Lake Waynoka community. Andy Bilhardt (Lot #453): Bilhardt asked whether spray irrigation is still being considered. Gloss responded that this is one of the possibilities the Board is reviewing. Adjournment: The motion to adjourn was made by Purdin and seconded by Rider. All were in favor and the meeting was adjourned at 10:00 a.m. Respectfully submitted, Joanne A.

Jennifer (Gray) Drew, member in charge of the floral department at the Brown County Fair, will present a short program on Floral Hall. For more information about how you can help Floral Hall, contact Jennifer at 937.205.4812. Refreshments will be served. We all know that the Brown County Fair is the best county fair in Ohio. This year’s “Little State Fair” will be held September 26-October 1, 2011. It has become increasingly difficult to recruit volunteers to work at Floral Hall during fair week. Floral Hall sponsors a variety of categories for competition and the number of entries has decreased over the years. The primary purpose of this meeting is to gather members from not only the Lake Waynoka Garden Club, but all garden clubs in Brown County, to learn about the significance of Floral Hall and to recruit volunteers to help during fair week and to contribute entries in various categories outlined below. Sometime in the 1880’s the present Floral Hall was built in the shape of a cross. Another unique feature about Floral Hall is that from its construction until the 1950’s, it had a large cupola on the top with a flag pole plus skylights on each of its four points. This cupola and skylights were removed when a new roof was put on Floral Hall in the 1950’s. A small bandstand was built in the center of the building and has since been used for various live musical performances during the fair. There are a few facts about today’s Floral Hall that should be noted. * All departments are limited to residents of Brown County * All departments of Floral Hall are limited to amateurs, except Farm and Garden Produce and cakes by a professional (classes PC-1 through PC-8). * All items MUST stay in place until Sunday, October 2, 2011 when they will be released from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Any item left after 2 p.m. will be disposed of at the Floral Hall Committee’s discretion. There are a variety of categories that can be entered at Floral Hall. Contact any Garden Club member for a list of those of most interest to garden club members. Please come to our meeting on July 14th and learn more about the history and significance of Floral Hall, located at the Brown County Fairgrounds. Information in this article came from two sources: “The Big Story of the Little State Fair” by Al and Patty Rhonemus, and from the official web site of the Brown County Fair at http://www.browncountyfair.org.

The biggest chance to watch for is the elimination of the “stop exept when turning right signs” and reduced speed limits in some areas. 2.Road work is expected to start soon so please be patient if we are working on a road you use daily. 3.The new facility rental policy has been approved by the board and is available at the recreation center, the front gate and on the lakewaynoka.com web site. 4.Just a reminder that some fireworks are not legal in the state of Ohio and even though we are a private community the Ohio Revised Code does apply within our gates. 5.We continue to work our way around the lake with the mowing process but the very wet spring has really put us behind. If we have not been in your area yet we are coming. 6.Anyone with internet knows of the problems we have been having in the recent past. I have been approached by a company interested in offering internet service here and the surrounding area. They just need to know if enough people are interested in having another option. Their rates are $34.95 to $64.95 depending on speed and will offer voice over IP as well. If you would be interested send me an email or call the front office and just leave your name.

In 1996, Congress amended the Safe Drinking Water Act. It added a provision requiring that all community water systems deliver to their customers a brief annual water quality report. Consumer Confidence Reports (CCR’s) summarize information that the water system already collects to comply with regulations. Every community water system that has at least 15 service connections serving year round residents must prepare and distribute a report. These systems typically include cities, towns, homeowners associations, and trailer parks. Each water system must deliver its an- nual report to consumers by July of the following year. Although Waynoka Regional Water & Sewer District analyzes for many contaminants, only those contaminants that were detected are listed within the table. This report is based on data collected in the 2010 calendar-year unless otherwise noted. Not all contaminants are required to be analyzed each year. The table lists those contaminants detected most recently within the past five years. For additional information, please call the Waynoka Water Treatment Plant at 937-446-3256 or attend a Board of Trustees meeting which are held on the fourth Monday of every month at 7:00 p.m. & The second Saturday of every month at 9:30 a.m. in the Waynoka Lodge. Waynoka News - 25 THE SOURCE OF YOUR WATER: The Lake Waynoka water system is owned and operated by the Waynoka Regional Water & Sewer District. The “Surface” water treatment plant described on the previous page is theoretically capable of producing approximately 425,000 gallons of potable water per 24 hour period. The water is then pumped into the distribution system for customer use, but the responsibilities do not end there. The District is also required to maintain its water system, including reservoirs, water mains and valves, water meters and fire hydrants, and most importantly, the water quality delivered to its customers. Water produced by the treatment plant is safe potable water prior to being pumped into the distribution system. It is District’s responsibility to keep it that way. Flushing of lines and periodic cleaning of the water tower are just two of the many ways which the District maintains its water quality. The District analyzes its treated water for many different parameters in its own Ohio EPA certified laboratory. For those parameters that are beyond the scope of testing within our lab, outside certified laboratories are utilized. One very important analysis is the testing for chlorine residual. Chlorine ensures that the water will be free of microbial contaminants before reaching the consumer. In the case of a water main break, chlorine present in the water will help ensure the destruction of microbial contamination that may enter the broken main. Why are there contaminants in my water? In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, USEPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which shall provide the same protection for public health. 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 Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791. Is our water meeting other rules that govern our operation? The Ohio EPA requires us to test our water for various parameters on a regular basis to ensure its safety. Waynoka water supply had no reporting, monitoring, nor water quality violations in 2009. Do I need precautions? to take special 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, people 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/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. What are sources of contamination to drinking water? 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 naturallyoccurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: (A) Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife; (B) Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming; (C) Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses; (D) Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems; (E) Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. A Word about 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. Waynoka Regional Water is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but 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 http:// www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. A Word about Turbidity: Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of water and is an indication of the effectiveness of our filtration system. The turbidity limit set by the EPA is 0.3 NTU in 95% of the daily samples and shall not exceed 1 NTU at any time. As reported in the table, Waynoka Water Supply’s highest recorded turbidity result for 2009 was 0.23 NTU and lowest monthly percentage of samples meeting the turbidity limits was 100. IDSE TTHM & HAA5: Under the Stage 2 Disinfectants/Disinfection Byproducts Rule (D/DBPR), our public water system was required by USEPA to conduct an evaluation of our distribution system. This is known as an Initial Distribution System Evaluation (IDSE), and is intended to identify locations in our distribution system with elevated disinfection byproduct concentrations. The locations selected for the IDSE may be used for compliance monitoring under Stage 2 DBPR, beginning in 2012. Disinfection byproducts are the result of providing continuous disinfection of your drinking water and form when disinfectants combine with organic matter naturally occurring in the source water. Disinfection byproducts are grouped into two categories, Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM) and Haloacetic Acids (HAA5). USEPA sets standards for controlling the levels of disinfectants and disinfectant byproducts in drinking water, including both THMs and HAAs. כTOC Values: The value reported under “Level Found” for Total Organic Carbon (TOC) is the lowest ratio between percent of TOC actually removed to the percentage of TOC required to be removed. A value of greater than one (1) indicates that the water system is in compliance with TOC removal requirements. A value of less than one (1) indicates a violation of the TOC removal requirements.

Note: Water is purchased occasionally from Brown County Rural Water Association. Their results in the above table are in parentheses. “**” Analysis performed in monitoring schedule for 2008. Waynoka News - 27 Contaminant Monitoring Definitions: Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG): The level of drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL): The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. Parts per Million (ppm): Units of measure for concentration of a contaminant. A part per million corresponds to 1 second in just over 11.5 days. Parts per Billion (ppb): Units of measure for concentration of a contaminant. A part per billion corresponds to 1 second in 31.7 years. The “<” Symbol: A symbol which means less than. A result of <5 means that the lowest level that could be detected was 5 and the contaminant in that sample was not detected. The “>” Symbol: A symbol which means greater than. The “=” Symbol: A symbol which means equal to. The “NA” Symbol: An abbreviation which means not applicable. Action Level (A.L.): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. BDL: Below Detectable Limit. Treatment Technique (TT): A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.
