Attention Cinco MUD 5 Residents:
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has issued a notification regarding elevated levels of total trihalomethanes (TTHM) in our drinking water. During 2025 Quarter 1, testing revealed a compliance value of 0.086 mg/L, slightly above the EPA’s Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 0.080 mg/L.
TTHMs are byproducts formed when chlorine (used for water disinfection) reacts with natural organic matter. While these compounds are common in treated water, prolonged exposure to levels above the MCL may pose health risks, including potential effects on the liver, kidneys, central nervous system, and a possible increased cancer risk.
Your safety is our priority. We’re committed to resolving this issue and ensuring transparent communication.
Note: Repeat notices will be issued every 90 days until compliance is restored. Certificates of delivery are required within 10 days of posting.
