Village of Taos Ski Valley’s (CCR) Consumer Confidence Report What is CCR? CCR is a report that VTSV is required to post in public places by the EPA. This report is a snapshot of last year's, 2003, water quality data. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to standards set by regulatory agencies. We are committed to providing you with information because informed customers are our best allies. Is my water safe? Last year, as in years past, your tap water met all U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state drinking water health standards. Our village staff takes special concern in protecting your water supply and once again we are proud to report that our system has never violated a maximum contaminant level or any other water quality standard. Do I need to take special precautions? Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Ciyptosporidiurn and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Water Drinking Hotline (800-426-4791). Where does my water come from? The water source for the Village of Taos Ski Valley, is the Phoenix spring which consists of several infiltration gallaries that were constructed by village personnel in 1993. The Phoenix springs are classified as ground water by the State of New Mexico. Why are there contaminants in my drinking water? 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 Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
