Some sample results for regulatory compliance are based on a running annual average (RAA) of quarterly samples. This is the case for HAAs and TTHMs. The
highest result listed above is the highest RAA for the four quarters and not the highest level detected. Note: There is convincing evidence that addition of a disin-
fectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.

Summer Tree and
Plant Watering Tips:

$UERUHWXPGXULQJKRW
summer months, trees
and plants rely on you to
provide the water they
need to survive and thrive.
Thoughtful watering helps
deliver moisture directly to
the roots, where it’s needed
most, while avoiding waste.
Start by focusing water at
the base of your plants, not
the leaves, as plants absorb
water through their roots.

of watering at the same
time each day, check the
weather and soil conditions
to determine when watering

encourage disease—if you
water in the evening, do so

water soak into the soil. Don’t
forget about parkway trees—
they enhance your property’s
appearance and value and
should be watered, too.
