St. Dominic Catholic Church, PWS ID 1013543, has violated the monitoring and reporting requirements set by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) in Title 30, Texas Administrative Code (30 TAC), Section 290, Subchapter F. Public water systems are required to properly disinfect water before distribution, maintain acceptable disinfection residuals within the distribution system, monitor the disinfectant residual at various locations throughout the distribution system, and report the results of that monitoring to the TCEQ on a quarterly basis,

Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not your drinking water is safe from microbial contamination.

These violations occurred in the monitoring periods of:

  1. Fourth Quarter of 2014: October to December, 2014
  2. First Quarter of 2015: January to March, 2015
  3. Second Quarter of 2015: April to June, 2015

To address this issue, St. Dominic is updating its procedures to make sure that it performs regular monitoring of disinfectant residual in the distributions system,  and timely submits the DLQOR’s for the corresponding reporting quarters.
