The Mobile Area Water and Sewer System reiterated their water is safe Thursday, despite the fact that testing revealed chemicals in the water do not meet new EPA drinking water advisory levels.
“We have never made the statement in writing or to anyone that it is not safe do not drink our water,” said MAWSS Director Bud McCrory.
“We chose to be transparent and go ahead and put that out to the community in doing so we sent the letter that was documented and put together by the EPA, EPA’s language and we set our figures into that and sent that out to our customer base,” McCrory said. While MAWSS works with state and federal regulators on ways to remove the contaminants, not every utility in our area is dealing with this issue. Satsuma Water and Sewer says the last round of testing shows their water is free from the compounds after upgrades at one of their plants.
