Consumer Confidence Water Report (CCR) 

Annual Drinking Water Quality Report Wilton Water Works Is my water safe? Last year, as in years past, your tap water met all U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) drinking water health standards. Your local water officials vigilantly safeguard its water supplies and once again we are proud to report that our system has not violated a maximum contaminant level or any other water quality standards. We're pleased to present to you this year's Annual Drinking Water Quality Report. This report is designed to inform you about the quality water and services we deliver to you every day. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water. The Wilton Water Works has 1 Well & 2 Tanks that service the Wilton Area. Wilton Water Works sells to Randolph Water System and also buys water from the Chilton Water Authority as needed. Water quality samples are collected regularly. The Wilton Water Works routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. This table shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1st to December 31st, 2023, all 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 (800-426-4791). We want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings held every 1st Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Wilton Municipal Annex 474 Church Street.

Important Drinking Water Definitions: Action Level (AL) - The concentration of a contaminant that triggers treatment or other requirements that a water system shall follow. Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) - The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) - The level of a contaminant in drinking water below, which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. 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. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) – The level of a 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. Millirems per year (mrem/yr) - Measure of radiation absorbed by the body. Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) - Nephelometric turbidity unit is a measure of the clarity of water. Turbidity in excess of 5 NTU is just noticeable to the average person. Non-Detects (ND) - Laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present. Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/L) - One part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000. Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (µg/L) - One part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000. Parts per trillion (ppt) or Nanograms per liter (ng/L) - One part per trillion corresponds to one minute in 2,000,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000,000. Parts per quadrillion (ppq) or Picograms per liter (pg/L) - One part per quadrillion corresponds to one minute in 2,000,000,000 years or one penny in $10,000,000,000,000. Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) - Picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water. Treatment Technique (TT) - A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. Threshold Odor Number (T.O.N.) - The greatest dilution of a sample with odor-free water that still yields a just-detectable odor. Variances & Exemptions - ADEM or EPA permission not to meet an MCL or a treatment technique under certain conditions.

NOTICE OF RATE INCREASE

REGARDING 1” & 2” METERS & WATER RATES

THIS LETTER IS TO SERVE AS A 30-DAY NOTICE

​

Dear Town of Wilton Utility Customer,

​

This letter serves as a 30-day notice to inform you of the Town Council’s rate increase for customers with 1” & 2” water meters. These increases will appear on your October 2022 bill. The meter will be read on or around September 15, 2022 and the date due will be October 15, 2022. These new rates are expected to increase the monthly utility bill from $19.96 to $25.27 with usage up to 3,000 gallons of water for 1” water meters. The monthly water bill for a 2” meter will increase from $19.96 to $73.50 with usage up to 3,000 gallons of water. Additional step rates will be included with this notice. The former rates were based off of rates for ¾ inch house meters. Your property has a 1” or 2” meter.

Operating costs have increased due to the cost of supplies and materials, as well as water treatment costs. The Town Council is committed to managing these cost and staying efficient while upholding the Town’s commitment to a sustainable future.

If you have questions about the rate changes, please contact:

•Town of Wilton at 205-665-2021

Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Thank you,

Wilton Town Council
