The Chamber of Commerce will once again sponsor the annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday March 30th at 10:00 AM in Pioneer Park on Walnut Street. The Park will be di-vided into areas for hunting by age groups and by staggered start times. Again this year we will have a 1 and 2 year old group next to the museum. 3 and 4 year olds will hunt around the slide and merry-go-round area and west. 5 to 7 year olds will hunt in the west end/north side of the park. 8 to 10 year olds will hunt in the east end/north side of the park.

Groups will be re-leased in 10 or so minute intervals to go hunt, with the youngest children being the first to go. There will be prizes for the finders of the gold and silver eggs. We expect that the Easter Bunny may even drop by for a visit.

By: Bob Brown, NCW Fair Manager

Dear Friends of the NCW Fair,March 9, 2013 is the date for the 15th

Annual Crab Feed at the NCW Fairgrounds. As usual we will be having a no host social hour beginning at 5:00 pm. This year the Tillicum Riders will be the bartenders for the event. Dinner will be served beginning at 6:00 pm. Our menu for the event includes; Dungeness Crab, prime rib roast, potato salad, cole slaw, baked beans, bread and cake for dessert. The only excuse for not getting enough to eat is not getting back in the food line.

As always there will be silent and live auction items for our guests to purchase. The money that is raised from the auction is used for capital improvements on the grounds. In 2012, in conjunction with a WSDA grant, the auction proceeds were used to replace the rodeo arena fencing. If you attended the race and rodeo event last year, we hope that it was a great experience to view the event through clean and shiny panels without white boards, zip ties and baling wire holding it together. We truly thank everyone for their auction purchases that allowed us to make this necessary improvement.

As in the past we are in need of items that may be included in the auction. We need items that would work in either the live or silent portions of the auction. If you would like to put together a basket of products that represents your business or livelihood, this would work great. Large or small, edible, warm and fuzzy or just plain useful is what we need in the auction. If you are able to assist in providing an auction item, please give me a call at 509-745-8480 or send me an email, rbrown@co.douglas.wa.us and we can discuss your contribution.

Crab feed Continued:

Thank you so much for your involvement in the NCW Fair and we look forward to seeing you at the crab feed on March 9th and at the fair August 22-25.

Annual Tree and Shrub Sale!By: Carol Cowling

The South Douglas Conservation District Tree Sale Catalog should be out by March 1. While native plants are the primary focus, we also have other plants that grow well in North Central

Washington. In this economic period when people are thinking staying home instead of going on vacations, now may be the time to turn your yard into a park. Trees for shade or windbreaks, plants for wildlife or privacy, shrubs for soil erosion or fall color – most are in one or two gallons pots for easy handling. Some are bareroot, for planting right away. The catalog has over 70 plant descriptions, prices, and order blank.

The tree and shrub sale catalogs are available at the District office, Town Hall, or call 745-9160 for a mailing or more information. Orders will be taken until March 25, with pickup at the NCW Fairgrounds in Waterville April 6. More plants will be available at the sale, as well as vendors with garden themed items for sale.

Douglas County Fire District 1 is looking for

new firefighters

IT'S OUR T.O.W.N. 6

By: Dale Jordan-Fire Chief We are actively recruiting volunteer

firefighters for Fire District 1. Over the past few years our membership has gone down and we need new members. We need people that are committed and willing to attend meetings and the necessary training to become efficient and safe firefighters to respond to incidents. Members need to be 18 years of age (we do allow students of at least 16 years of age with some restrictions on duties) and of general good health. Applicants may be male or female and we fully train firefighters so no experience is needed just a willingness to learn and work with us. People that are available during the day are particularly needed.

The Fire District responds to all types of fire incidents. In addition we respond to such emergencies as motor vehicle accident for extrication and other types of incidents. The District also responds outside the area on mutual aid.

The cost of training, equipment, and personal protective equipment is paid for by the department. Just as a point of interest it cost the district about $2,000.00 to fully outfit a firefighter and supply the necessary basic training.

If you are interested please call me at 509-669-5570 anytime and we can talk and answer questions you have.

Preschool Hap-penings

The preschool scene has been bustling!  First, we want to thank our wonderful community

and businesses for their contributions to our December Santa Breakfast.  This years fundraiser brought in over $3500 for the preschool. A very special thank you to Dave and Marvel Mires, Waterville Lions Club, Heath Jordan and Team.   The funds raised will help with monthly operations, classroom supplies and maintenance as well as our scholarship program.  We are also discussing a project that would involve replacing our aging tables and chairs.  Thank you all for your support!    As for our preschoolers, they have been busy!  Currently, Mrs. Long and her classroom helper, Mrs. Judy Clark, are teaching how germs are spread and the importance of proper hand washing.  The kids are also learning a bit on how their bodies work and how to keep them healthy. Thank you Jacque Clements for your donation of educational materials on these subjects.  The preschoolers are looking forward to learning about bee's, butterflies, birds and all that spring brings.  We are taking early registration for the 2013/14 school year.  Please contact Sharon Long at 745-8704 or e-mail us at watervillepreschool@gmail.com

Philomathic Telephone Books Still Available!!!!

A reminder that the local Waterville Community and Business phone book is

available at the Town Hall for $5.00. Proceeds from the sale of the phone books are used for the Philomathic Club's "Water-

ville Student Scholarship" and for the spon-sorship of a student to "Girls State." The phone book is a handy one to keep near the phone and to use when addressing corre-spondence.

We are pleased to present to you this year's Annual Water Quality Report. This report is designed to inform you about the

IT'S OUR T.O.W.N. 6

quality of the water and services we deliver to you every day. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water.

Our water source is from ground water. We have (8) Wells ranging in depth from 300ft. to 750ft. Of these 8 wells, 7 are currently supplying water for the Town:

Well #2, which is located at the N end of Rainier St. is now being blended with wells 8 & 9 to reduce nitrates to acceptable levels. Well #3, which is located on the corner of Chelan and Second Streets. Well #4, which is located by the school softball field. Well #5, which is located SE of Whitley Fuel. Well #7, which is located by the airport runway. Well #8, which is located next to the Town’s old water reservoirs NW of Town. Well #9, which is located along RD 3NW East of Well #8

Note: Well #6 is currently listed as Emergency source and has not been used in several years due to high nitrate concentrations.

This report shows our water quality and what it means. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact Marty Ramin at the Town Hall 745-8871. We want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled council meetings, which are held on the first and third Monday of every month at 7:30p.m. at the Town Hall.

The Town of Waterville routinely monitors for constituents in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. This table shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1st to December 31st, 2012. All drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some constituents. It's important to remember that the presence of these constituents does not necessarily pose a health risk.

The Maximum Contaminate Levels (MCL) are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated constituents, a person would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to

have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect.

More information about contaminates and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791.

The tables on Pages 8 & 9 reference many terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar with. To help you better understand these terms we've provided the following definitions: Non-Detects (ND) - laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present. Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) - one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000. Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter - one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000. Parts per trillion (ppt) or Nanograms per liter (nanograms/l) - one part per trillion corresponds to one minute in 2,000,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000,000. Parts per quadrillion (ppq) or Picograms per liter (picograms/l) - one part per quadrillion corresponds to one minute in 2,000,000,000 years or one penny in $10,000,000,000,000. Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) - Picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water. Millirems per year (mrem/yr) - measure of radiation absorbed by the body. Million Fibers per Liter (MFL) - million fibers per liter is a measure of the presence of asbestos fibers that are longer than 10 micrometers. Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) - nephelometric turbidity unit is a measure of the clarity of water. Turbidity in excess of 5 NTU is just noticeable to the average person. Action Level - the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. Treatment Technique (TT) - (mandatory language) A treatment technique is a required

Water Quality Report continued from page 6

process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. Maximum Contaminant Level - (mandatory language) The “Maximum Allowed” (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available

IT'S OUR T.O.W.N. 6

treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal - (mandatory language) The “Goal”(MCLG) is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.

Microbiological Contaminants:(1) Total Coliform. Coliforms are bacteria that are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other, potentially harmful, bacteria may be present. Coliforms were found in more samples than allowed and this was a warning of potential problems.(2) Fecal coliform/E.Coli. Fecal coliforms and E. coli are bacteria whose presence indicates that the water may be contaminated with human or animal wastes. Microbes in these wastes can cause short-term effects, such as diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms. They may pose a special health risk for infants, young children, and people with severely compromised immune systems. (3) Turbidity. Turbidity has no health effects. However, turbidity can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth. Turbidity may indicate the presence of disease-causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches. .

Radioactive Contaminants:(6) Combined Radium 226/228. Some people who drink water containing radium 226 or 228 in excess of the MCL over many years may have an increased risk of getting cancer.Inorganic Contaminants:(8) Arsenic. Some people who drink water containing arsenic in excess of the MCL over many years could experience skin damage or problems with their circulatory system, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer.(10) Barium . Some people who drink water containing barium in excess of the MCL over many years could experience an increase in their blood pressure.(14) Copper . Copper is an essential nutrient, but some people who drink water containing copper in excess of the action level over a relatively short amount of time could experience gastrointestinal distress. Some people who drink water containing copper in excess of the action level over many years could suffer liver or kidney damage. People

with Wilson's Disease should consult their personal doctor.(16) Fluoride . Some people who drink water containing fluoride in excess of the MCL over many years could get bone disease, including pain and tenderness of the bones. Children may get mottled teeth.(17) Lead . Infants and children who drink water containing lead in excess of the action level could experience delays in their physical or mental development. Children could show slight deficits in attention span and learning abilities. Adults who drink this water over many years could develop kidney problems or high blood pressure.(19) Nitrate. Infants below the age of six months who drink water-containing nitrate in excess of the MCL could become seriously ill and, if untreated, may die. Symptoms include shortness of breath and blue-baby syndrome.(73) TTHMs [Total Trihalomethanes]. Some people who drink water containing trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL over many years may experience problems with their liver, kidneys, or central nervous systems, and may have an increased risk of getting cancer. What do the table findings mean?

The table shows that our system uncovered some problems this year. The potential adverse health effects are (3) Turbidity. Turbidity has no health effects. However, turbidity can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth. Turbidity may indicate the presence of disease-causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramp diarrhea, and associated headaches. We are correcting this by chlorination.

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.

Continued on page 8 Continued on page 7

Water Quality Report continued from page 7

These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

IT'S OUR T.O.W.N. 6

Please call our office if you have questions. The employees at the Town of Waterville work around the clock to provide safe drinking water to

every tap. We have had some difficulty with Iron and Manganese in our system, which creates problems such as taste, odor, and staining of clothing and fixtures. Iron and manganese are

secondary contaminants, which do not pose a health risk, but are aesthetically unpleasant. We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life and our children’s future.

Waterville Main Street

AssociationThe Waterville Mainstreet Association

has now been granted Washington State ap-proval for its Articles of Incorporation. Our ap-plication for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status

IT'S OUR T.O.W.N. 6

has been submitted and awaits approval from the Internal Revenue Service.

The Waterville Main Street Association local program is historic downtown Water-ville.  Traditionally, downtown Waterville was the civic, cultural, economic, and social cen-ter of the community, but more recently has been trapped in a cycle of disinvestment that has been disheartening for both businesses and residents. The primary purpose of the Waterville Mainstreet Association is to re-verse this direction by preserving the historic infrastructure of downtown, improve appear-ances and facilitate renewed vitality.

Your board and mem-bers are ready to work on preservation of his-toric Waterville. We have conducted polls and many residents and visitors have given us ideas for restoration of the buildings and busi-nesses. A membership drive is begin-ning and donations can be made to the WMA.

TIPS FOR A MOS-QUITO FREE SUM-

MERDuring mosquito season there are

things you can do at home to stop them.1. Change water in birdbaths twice a

week.2. Repair leaky faucets and sprinklers.

3. Empty water from flower pot dishes.4. Clean leaf clogged gutters.5. Keep water fresh and drain standing

water from around stock troughs.6. Recycle old bottles, buckets & cans.7. Clean garden ponds and stock them

with fish.8. Get rid of used tires properly.Mosquitoes need water to breed and

grow. It doesn’t take much water and it doesn’t take much time. So, almost anything around your home that can hold water for a week or more can produce these pests. Get rid of places where water collects and mos-quitoes won’t have a chance.
