PUBLIC NOTICE 

The Town of Walnut Grove is required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not your drinking water meets health standards. During the April 2025 – June 2025 monitoring period, we did not monitor for synthetic organic chemicals (SOC), and therefore cannot be sure of the quality of your drinking water during that time.

Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.

This was an administrative oversight and didn’t affect compliance. When we became aware of it, we sampled our water and monitored for SOC contaminants as required. Should you have any questions concerning this noncompliance or monitoring requirements, please contact Randall Green at the Water Board office at 2055892553.
