The
City of Paris is committed to providing safe and dependable drinking
water to the citizens of Paris and Lamar County. The Utilities Department
employees take pride in supplying water of high quality and quantity
that consistently exceeds the requirements set by state and federal
drinking water standards.
The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) has assessed
the City of Paris water system and has determined our water is safe
to drink. This determination was made by the TNRCC based on information
in the tables provided in the report, for tests performed during 2001
and no water quality standard was violated at any time during the year.
The City of Paris is rated a Superior water system by the TNRCC. It
is important to the City of Paris that you have this information about
your drinking water so you can have confidence in the water we produce.
The tables in the report are a list of what has been found in the water
and at what levels. Many of the listed elements are not actually contaminants
but natural chemical and physical properties inherent to all drinking
water. Most of these parameters are not related to public health and
are not regulated by state and federal standards. These unregulated
items have been included for your information since they can have an
effect on the aesthetic quality of water and are often significant to
many industrial water users.
