The Board of Education appointed fournew administrators for the 2010-2011 schoolyear at a special meeting June 23.
“It’s really very exciting for me and theschool district,” said Superintendent ofSchools David Erwin, adding, he was happythe school board supported the choices andlikewise seemed pleased with the results of along search process.
“We have four capable and competent ad-ministrators who will become part of myteam,” Erwin said. Several of the positionsare “pivotal” ones and not easy to fill, he said,such as director of pupil personnel servicesand high school principal. Erwin was hired
earlier this year and began May 1.Beginning July 1, Dr. Valentina Parchin
will be director of pupil services, replacingFayne Malloy who retired. Parchin earnedher undergraduate degree at St. Joseph’sCollege in Brooklyn, N.Y., and graduate de-grees from Duquesne University, Pittsburg,Pa., and St. John’s University, Jamaica, N.Y.;she also earned administrative certificationfrom the University of Hartford and a Ph.D.from St. John’s University.

If you’re a fifth grade stu-dent and it’s the last day ofschool and the temperatureis 80 degrees-plus, whatshould you do? It’s not multi-ple choice. There’s only oneanswer: Beach Bash.
That was one of the fun
end-of-school activities, June22, for 107 departing fifth-graders at Willard Elemen-tary School.
“They’re moving ontoMcGee,” said Lucy Halkias,who along with Debbie Moss,chairs the fifth grade pro-gram. In the fall, the stu-dents will attend McGeeMiddle School, also located
on Norton Road, just a fewhundred yards away to thewest. Halkias and Moss werein charge of the Beach Bashattended by the entire fifthgrade class.
Halkias said “the fifthgraders always have a party”on the last day of school.

On June 4, Berlin publicschools food director TimProsinski, dressed in hiswhite chef ’s coat, passedthrough security andwalked onto the WhiteHouse lawn. He was therewith 500 other chefs, fromacross the country, to hearFirst Lady Michelle Oba-ma unveil her newest ini-tiative to fight childhoodobesity.
The program, “ChefsMove to Schools”, will en-courage chefs to befriend aschool and volunteer theirknowledge of nutrition, aswell as their creative cook-ing talents, to create inter-esting and healthy lunchesthat also meet the schools’budgets and dietary guide-lines. The program is runby the U.S. Department ofAgriculture.
Prosinski has been do-ing just that for severalyears in Berlin schools. “Ifeel like we are ahead of
the curve, ahead of theprogram,” Prosinski said.
Four years ago, Prosins-ki was hired as food direc-tor for Berlin publicschools. Having come froma background in restau-rants and catering, Prosin-ski looked for a way to addzest to the lunch menu. Heenjoyed preparing food infront of people at wed-dings and other events, sohe tried a program called“Lunch with Chef Tim.”
It’s been a big hit. “Thekids absolutely go out oftheir skin. I prepare itright in front of them. I setup sauté pans over burn-ers and stink up the cafete-ria with garlic and herbs.”
Another program,which Prosinski offeredduring the last school year,was a cooking club withseveral elementary stu-dents. The club culminat-ed with students makinglunch for their wholeschool on June 10. Prosins-

Letters to the EditorBicentennial Parkis a public park
To the editor:I am a Berlin resident who
takes my dog to BicentennialPark on a regular basis. Mydog is never off leash outsidethe park, my wife and I dili-gently pick up after our dogs’droppings, we have partici-pated in clean ups of thepark, my dog is not aggres-sive, and we abide by theposted speed limit on Wine-sap Road.
We all need to realize thatBicentennial Park is a publicpark, open to all citizens, andit is not private property.Winesap Road residents needto come to grips with this re-ality - that they have a publicpark at the end of theirstreet. With that, comes acertain level of vehicle traf-fic, and a need for publicparking.
In terms of vehicles speed-ing in the area, I understandresidents’ concerns. I havewitnessed someone speeding
down the road recently. Itwas a car full of teenagerswho turned around in frontof the park, practically ontwo wheels. It should be not-ed that they did not have adog with them, and they didnot stop at the park. I believethe most effective solution tothis problem would be to in-stall speed bumps on Wine-sap Road.
Notices have been placedin the park warning dogowners that if they do notpick up their dogs’ drop-pings, they may lose their offleash privileges. If ownersare forced to put their dogson leashes, what makes any-one think that this will causeowners to pick up after theirdogs? People not picking upafter their dogs is a problemeverywhere. Take WalnutHill Park in New Britain forexample. Walk through thepark, and I can guaranteeyou will find several dogdroppings on the side of theroad. Perhaps providingmore waste receptacles in-side Bicentennial Park and
signage reminding people tocurb their dogs would help.
Winesap residents haveexpressed fear over dogsrunning up to them in thepark. If they are afraid of do-mesticated animals runningup to them, what are they do-ing walking on a trail, in thewoods, where there are wildanimals? In addition, whenwas the last incident ofsomeone being attacked by adog at the park? I have beenusing the park for about ayear now, and have neverheard of such a thing.
Inevitably, there will besome “bad apples”. Those in-dividuals who are not re-sponsible dog owners shouldbe dealt with individually,and be held accountable forthemselves and their pets. Ican say based on my experi-ence, the vast majority ofdog owners at the park areresponsible, and respectfulof other people and theirproperty. It appears to me

(Seven exemplary writtenpieces by Berlin High Schoolgraduating seniors were rec-ognized by the school districtthis year. The Portfolios ofDistinction included authors:Margaret Doyle, KacperNedza, Lauren Weiss andHeather Zisk. CommendedPapers included: Jodi Cyr,David Legnani, and KimberlyRasmussen.
Three of those essays werepresented to the Board of Edu-cation at its June 14 meetingand will be published in TheCitizen throughout July. Thefirst is a college essay writtenby Lauren Weiss, Valedictori-an of the class of 2010.)
I draw the curtains andgaze out the window. It is latein the day. The sun is slowlysinking behind the rollinggreen hills, casting its goldenglow upon the gently ripplingsurface of the lake. The skybegins to fade from a forget-me-not blue to a soft blend ofpastel pinks and oranges.The crying gulls are replacedby colonies of chatteringbats, darting over the lake in
search of tasty insects to eat.From out by the island, alarge fish jumps, silver scaleswinking in the fading light.
I grew up there. I was littlemore than five years oldwhen we joined the family’sannual summer migration tothe property my great-grand-father purchased on theshore of Pontoosuc Lake,Massachusetts. Grandpar-ents, aunts, uncles, andcousins alike all congregatedthere for a few days to takeadvantage of the surround-ing area.
It was at this place andamong these familiar facesthat I experienced many ofmy “firsts.” For example, thesummer before my brotherwas born, my father boughtme a Mickey Mouse pole andintroduced me to the art oflakeside fishing. I caught onrapidly (pun very much in-tended), and soon became asort of fishing championamongst my family. None ofmy cousins could even comeclose to my daily fish-counts;despite being the youngest, Iwould always walk away asthe winner of our informalannual fishing derbies. Sun-fish and perch simply seemedto gravitate towards my pole,as if they knew their briefentrapment would lead towonderment and delight foran eager little girl. Catching“Moby Dick,” a smallmouthbass nearly my size swim-ming beneath our woodendock, only solidified this the-ory; bass do not normallystray so close to the shore,and the fact that it did notsimply snap the pole or pullme off of the dock is remark-able in its own right. Everyyear since then, I have triedto repeat my miraculous feat.I have reeled in a variety ofunderwater life from rockbass to catfish, but it seems as

It’s ‘our’ parkTo the editor:Well, it was a matter of
time before someone used the“dog and dog owners havetaken over the park.”
For someone whom lives inthat area, you would thinkthey would know that otherthan dogs, I’ve seen trail
bikes, people jogging, walk-ing etc. I’m a tax payer inBerlin and the only place inBerlin to take my dogs is Bi-centennial Park. I clean up af-ter them and keep them inmy site at all times.
I’m sure I can’t take mydogs to Percival pool, or theplayground at Willard or anyother park in Berlin. That’s avery selfish and ignorantstatement. We haven’t takenover; we just needed somewhere to take them. If theyneed somewhere to take theirkids and don’t like dogs - wellthere is Willard, a great play-ground made just for yourkids. And the beauty ofthat playground is it’s justminutes away.

though Moby Dick was a one-time occurrence; my memo-ries of the event and the pic-tures of me with him are theonly evidences left of his ex-istence. Nevertheless, everytime I see a fish jump out inthe middle of the lake, I be-lieve it is my smallmouthbass, daring me to keep cast-ing.
Unfortunately, it has re-cently become impossible tofind the time and room for allof us to stay at the lake to-gether. However, when I wasyounger, an incredible por-tion of my father’s side of thefamily would all descendupon the lake house at thesame time. It was a frenzy ofrelatives coming and going,swimming and sunbathing,sleeping and eating, and scav-enging for an open bathroom.Nevertheless, I would nothave traded this mass chaosfor anything in the world.Wherever I happened to be atany given moment, there wasalways someone around whowas willing to show me some-thing new.

land in the middle of the lakeas they attempted to discoverthe reason behind the old“NO TRESPASSING” signsthat had been hanging on itstrees for many years. I wastaught how to kayak, and Ihave spent countless hourssince then paddling up anddown the shoreline. I haveeven managed to reach asemi-hidden cove, where thewater is always as smooth asglass and the only sign of hu-man life is an ancient sunkendock. My first cousins, allolder boys, delighted in theaforementioned fishing der-bies, which involved makingintricate lures from drinkingstraws and garbage-bag ties,as well as water fights in-tense enough to be classifiedas guerilla warfare. Stone-skipping became a highly-de-veloped art form, and theability to slide down a wethill in a cardboard box wasan essential survival skill. Ofcourse, no matter what ad-ventures and discoverieswere made during the day, wewould come together eachnight to eat, talk, and possi-bly listen to a chapter or twoof “Harry Potter.” It was awonderful feeling to be sur-
rounded by people who lovedme and were always ready tolend a helping hand or offer aword of advice.
Their guidance, along withthe memories as golden asthe sun in my window view,has helped me to become thepassionate, knowledge-seek-ing young woman I am today.Therefore, I can close the cur-tains with confidence, know-ing that everything outside ofthe window will always be in-side of me.

Students at Willard Elementary School cool off withwater balloons at the traditional end of the year BeachBash.
BashContinued from page 1
Just one hour before thelast bell of the year, the waterballoon toss started out fairlysedately. A game of catch. Anoccasional popped balloonand the resulting automaticshriek. Back and forth, kidsthrowing balloons. Thensomewhere, somehow, some-body gave a signal.
Imagine the energy of afifth-grader — plus the antici-pation of an endless summer
vacation stretching out be-fore that student aftermonths of grueling study.Multiply that by 107.
The beach bash is on! Wa-ter balloons flying, the chaostheory in action, the noiselevel shaking windows as faraway as East Berlin. Kidsdumping buckets of left-overwater on their heads, parentswith video cameras savingthe moment for posterity. Anoccasional water balloongoes astray and an adult tar-get yells “watch it.”
A little crazy fun, butamazingly, the scene settleddown in just moments asteachers gathered studentstogether for a more seriousmoment.
Every year the departingfifth-grade class presents agift to the school. This year,students presented theschool with two park bench-es, each with the inscription“donated by Willard Class of2010.” Principal Sal Urso ac-cepted the gift on behalf ofthe school.

It has been a whirlwind year for pitch-er Kyle Vazquez.
Last June, the Berlin High Schoolalumnus was drafted by the San Fran-cisco Giants in the 15th round of theMLB First-Year Player Draft. Sincethen, Vazquez’ baseball journey has tak-en him to Arizona, Oregon, Georgia andCalifornia, just to name a few stops.
Currently, Vazquez is with the Giants’GreenJackets, a Long Season Single-A team in Augusta,Georgia.
Heading into this week, Vazquez had started 12 gamesand owned a record of 4-3. In 66.2 innings of work, the 6-foot-3, 175-pound righty had struck out 42 and scattered67 hits. The GreenJackets were 44-30.
Vazquez has been pleased with his professional careerso far, and for good reason. He pointed out that his ShortSeason Single-A team, the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes,based in Salem, Oregon, won the league title in 2009. An-other highlight for Vazquez was being invited to astrength and conditioning camp in San Francisco wherehe worked out at the Giants’ stadium, AT&T Park.
“So far things have been good,” said Vazquez, whoturned 22 last week.
With a lot of bus travel and long hours at the ball park,the life of a minor league player can be grueling, but ac-cording to Vazquez “it is more fun than anything.”
“The teammates and fans have been great,” he said.“So far, the two seasons I have played with a majority ofthe same kids — some minor changes — so I have becomepretty close with the group of guys. The kids I play withare a great group, and so are the coaches, which make ita lot more fun.”
“I consider myself lucky with the coaches I have had,”he continued. “I learn a lot from both the players andcoaches. I’m around a bunch of good ballplayers with alot of knowledge in the game, so I pick things up fromeverybody.”
It’s a good thing Vazquez gets along with his team-mates; he shares an apartment with three of them. Therest of the GreenJackets reside in the same apartmentcomplex.
Of course, Vazquez dreams of one day living the poshlifestyle of a MLB player, but for now, he’s focused onwinning games for the GreenJackets. “I’m having a lot offun with what I’m doing, and so I’m trying my best tomake it last as long as possible and take it as far as I can,”he said.
A 2006 graduate of BHS, Vazquez helped lead the Red-coats to a state championship in baseball in 2005 and to astate title in basketball the following year. He continuedhis baseball career, on scholarship, at New Hampshire’sFranklin Pierce University.

Over the next threeweeks, The Citizen will takea look back at the year insports at Berlin High School,a year in which history wasmade, champions werecrowned, new coachesemerged and records wereset.
This week, the fall season…
After coming up empty-handed in its previous 12playoff appearances, theBHS football team claimedthe program’s first statechampionship. The Redcoatsdefeated Bethel 46-6 in theCIAC Class M title game.
Along with the statecrown, Berlin, which ran upa record of 10-2, was the Cen-tral Connecticut ConferenceDivision III champion.
During the season, BHSjunior Max DeLorenzo sur-passed Class of 2002 alumMaurice Humphrey’s schoolrushing record of 2,939yards. DeLorenzo set BHS’ssingle-game rushing record,
single-season rushingrecord, and single-gamerecord for carries as well.
Another highlight of theseason came on Thanksgiv-ing eve when Berlin took onNew Britain before a hugecrowd at Willowbrook Park.The host Hurricanes wonthe hotly-anticipatedmatchup, 27-13.
The BHS girls soccerteam lived up to the hype.The senior-heavy Lady Red-coats went undefeated dur-ing the regular season enroute to claiming the Cen-tral Connecticut ConferenceSouth Division title. The lo-cals were knocked out of theCIAC Class L state tourna-ment in the quarterfinalround with a 2-1 loss toAvon.
Berlin’s eighth-year headman Steve Yanosy collectedhis 100th coaching victoryduring the season.
Unlike their female coun-terpart, the BHS boys soc-cer team had a tough timegenerating victories. TheRedcoats had a record of 5-9-2, which left them short of
campaign. The Lady Red-coats rolled up a record of15-7. Berlin advanced to thesecond round of the CIACClass M state tournamentwhere it was eliminatedwith a 3-0 loss to Woodland.
The BHS girls swim teamhung tough under the direc-tion of first-year coachAmanda McCarthy. Poweredby senior Sam DeGroff, theLady Redcoats won theirfirst six meets of the seasonand went on to place 13th atthe CIAC Class M statechampionship.
The BHS cross countryprogram had a new face atits helm, as well, as SteveSoucy took the reins fromlongtime coach Dave Scan-nell.
The Berlin boys, paced bysenior Ricky Lewandowski,finished second in the Cen-tral Connecticut ConferenceSouth Division and 14th atthe CIAC Class MM meet.Led by sophomore KayleneSylvain, the BHS girls ran toa third place finish in theCCC South and were 17th inClass MM.
Also … The fall seasonwas BHS’s first competing inthe Central ConnecticutConference. Berlin left theNorthwest Conference at theend of the 2009 school year… Several BHS senior ath-letes made their college
plans known last fall. TheClass of 2010 produced sev-eral NCAA Division I ath-letes. They are: Sam DeGroff(swimming, Providence Col-lege), Blair Ferry (soccer,University of Massachu-setts), Kerry Scalora (soccer,University of Pennsylva-nia), Nikki Kureczka (soccer,Central Connecticut StateUniversity), Katelyn Zarot-ney (basketball, Siena Col-lege), Alexys Vazquez (bas-ketball, Fairfield Universi-ty), Kellyn Goldberger (div-ing, Central ConnecticutState University), AndrewThurston (swimming, Uni-versity of Massachusetts)and Anthony Marzi (base-ball, University of Connecti-cut) …The CIAC Board ofControl voted unanimouslylast fall to accept the propos-al of the CIAC Football Com-mittee to adapt a new divi-sion and playoff structurefor the sport of football be-ginning in 2010. The new for-mat calls for four equal divi-sions by enrollment (LL, L,M, S), down from the currentsix (LL, L, MM, M, SS, S).Eight teams in each divisionwill qualify for the playoffs… In Powderpuff football ac-tion last fall, BHS fell toNewington, 28-0.

Post 68 not going down without a fight

Berlin Post 68’s Will Matuszak makes a diving catch ina 9-2 loss to North Cumberland, Rhode Island on Sat-urday.
By Nick CarrollThe Berlin Citizen
Heading intothe summer, itappeared theyoung BerlinPost 68 Ameri-can Legion base-
ball team would take itslumps.
And it has.Through 16 games, the
new-look Berlin squad ownedan overall record of 4-12. Post68 was 3-7 and in seventhplace in Zone 3, which it dom-inated in 2009.
“You can’t teach experi-ence, unfortunately,” saidBerlin manager Rob Manzo.
Although Berlin’s record isnot where he or his guyswould like it to be, Manzosaid “we’re showing somefight.”
“We lost a lot of closegames,” the veteran coachsaid, mentioning a pair of re-cent walk-off losses to Madi-son and East Haddam. “Webattled back in both games.We’ve just come across somereally, really good pitching.”
Manzo’s own pitching staffhas been led by Taylor Ander-son, who was victorious inhis last two starts headinginto this week. Will Matuszakalso has done a fine job on themound. At press time, Ma-
tuszak had yet to win a game,but owned a sparkling .92earned-run average.
Sean Sylvester, AustinBarnes and Bobby Mozzicatoalso have had productive out-ings for Post 68.
Offensively, Manzo’s clubhas struggled. But one brightspot has been the bat work ofZach Parsons, who had threehits in a 5-3 win over Meri-den on Sunday and is batting.360 for the year.
Like its hitting, Berlin’sdefense has been lackluster.Manzo pointed out that his
team’s fielding percentagehas dropped 20 points recent-ly.
When it comes to the threeaspects of the game — pitch-ing, hitting and fielding —Manzo lamented: “We justhaven’t put a good streak to-gether … We’re looking toput it all together prettysoon.”
Post 68 had better hurry.To qualify for the state tour-nament play-in, a team mustwin at least 13 of its 24 zonegames.
Civil war!
More than 30 former Berlin High School footballplayers took part in the first annual BHS Alumnivs. Redcoats Challenge June 10 at Scalise Field.The alumnus played 7 on 7 touch football gamesagainst next year’s BHS squad. “It was a greatsuccess, and experience, for all involved,” saidChallenge organizer Neil Schroder.

through food.However, chefs looking to
help in schools nationwideface at least three challenges,the first being money. Be-tween keeping the cost downand providing wages andbenefits for workers, theBerlin schools spend only$1.10 on ingredients permeal. This severely limitsthe ability for the school topurchase healthy and cre-ative food.
The second hurdle facedby chefs is federal and stateregulations. The regulationssay a grain and a proteinmust be in every meal alongwith milk and fruit to make a
nutritious lunch. The gov-ernment does not specifywhat kind of protein orgrain should be in the mealbut often, schools fall backon staples like chicken.
Along with federal andstate subsidies, as well as“coupon clipping” by Prosin-ski, Berlin schools have beenable to deliver quality mealsto kids. For example, he buyschicken nuggets with wholewheat bread crumbs, insteadof white, and he buys pro-duce regionally from a com-pany in Rhode Island.
Finally, cafeteria staffmay not know how to pre-pare food the way a chef
wants it. Many times, cafete-ria food is simply heated upand served. This could provefrustrating for a chef whocomes into a school andwants staff to prepare freshmango or dice an onion.However, the cafeteria staffin Berlin are above averagein this respect. “They canhandle it,” Prosinski said.
Quick, sweeping changesto a lunch menu are not fea-sible. “We have to start slow— baby steps,” he said. “Thisprogram is a very toughthing for the White House toimplement. But they havegiven us a direction with away to go.”

POTABLE WATER CONFIDENCE REPORTJANUARY 1, 2009 TO DECEMBER 31, 2009
The Worthington Fire District was established in 1920 by Special Act of the Connecticut Legislature, with an effectivedate at which to begin operation of July 1, 1922. Its sole objective is the transmission and distribution of potablewater to approximately 1,175 water customers.This bulletin has been prepared to provide Worthington Fire District’s customers with the confidence that the waterthey drink meets and, in most cases, exceeds all State and Federal Drinking Water Requirements.In 1967, the Worthington Fire District entered into an agreement to purchase all of its water from the Berlin WaterControl Commission. During the period covered by this report, January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009, theWorthington Fire District sold One Hundred Forty Two Million, Eight Hundred Ninety-Six, Four Hundred Ninety-Eight(142,896,498) gallons of water to its residential, commercial, and industrial customers. The Berlin Water ControlCommission produces 54.75% of its water needs and purchased 45.25% or less from the New Britain WaterDepartment and the Cromwell Fire District.The Berlin Water Control Commission supply, excluding that provided by the New Britain Water Department and theCromwell Fire District, comes from two (2) sources:
Elton Rd: Production Well #1A;andElton Rd: Production Well #2A.
A third (3rd) well, Elton Rd: Production Well #2 (installed in 1973, a well with a depth of 102 feet and a capacity of550 gallons per minute) was replaced by Well #2A in 1996.Elton Rd: Well #1A was installed in 1973 and rehabilitated in 1994 and 1997; Well #1 was replaced in 1998 andreclassified as Well #1A.Elton Rd: Well #2A (with a depth of 105 feet and a production of 350 gallons per minute, as stated above) wasplaced in service in 1996.Water from Wells #1A and #2A are blended together prior to entering the distribution system.As required by the Connecticut State Department of Health, the Berlin Water Control Commission has to have twotradesmen classified as Treatment Operators Class 1 and one tradesman classified as Class 2.The Water Control Commission has two tradesmen classified as Distribution Operators Class 1 and one tradesmanclassified as Class 2.Monthly testing of the water supplied by the Worthington Fire District has shown that the water has met or exceededevery standard set by the State and Federal Agencies for quality and safety.The following tables summarize the analytical results of water samples taken from various locations within thedistribution system.Table 1 also lists all of the contaminants that were detected during the 2009 sampling season. Although all were wellbelow Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs), the following lists their significance and possible reasons:Barium in a water supply can result from the discharge of drilling or metal refining wastes or, as is most likely in thiscase, from the erosion of natural deposits. Some people consuming water containing Barium in excess of the MCLcould experience an increase in their blood pressure.Chlorides in potable water can result from sewage contamination or contaminants by industrial waste or, as in mostcases, at low levels, from erosion of natural deposits.Fluorides can arise in a water supply from fertilizer, discharge from aluminum factories, or erosion of naturaldeposits. It is also added, as in this case here, to promote strong teeth. Some people who drink water containingFluoride in excess of the MCL, over many years, could contract bone disease including pain and tenderness of thebones. Children may experience mottled teeth.Haloacetic Acids are formed as a result of chlorine, used in the disinfection process, reacting with natural occurringorganic acids. Levels well above the MCL (Maximum Contaminant Level) may cause cancer.Lead can enter a water supply from corrosion of household plumbing or from the erosion of natural deposits.Children who drink water containing Lead in excess of the Action Level could experience delays in their physical andmental development. Children could show slight deficits in attention span and learning abilities. Adults who drink thewater, over many years, could develop kidney problems or high blood pressure.Nitrate Nitrogen can enter a potable water as runoff from fertilizers or, as in most cases, from erosion of naturaldeposits. High concentrations, in excess of 10 parts per million (ppm) may cause a condition known asMethemoglobinemia when given to very young infants. It can also be transmitted to infants by nursing mothers whodrink the water.Radioactivity emitted in the form of Alpha and Beta radiation results, most frequently from the erosion of naturaldeposits.• Beta/photon emitters: Certain minerals are radioactive and may emit forms of radiation known as photons and beta
radiation. Some people who drink water containing beta and photon emitters in excess of the MCL, over manyyears, may have an increased risk of getting cancer.
• Alpha emitters: Certain minerals are radioactive and may emit a form of radiation known as alpha radiation. Somepeople who drink water containing alpha emitters in excess of the MCL, over many years, may have an increasedrisk of getting cancer.
Radon occurs naturally in rock formations. Breathing air-containing radon may cause lung cancer.Radon Guidelines for Drinking Water: Currently, the State of Connecticut recommends that actions betaken to reduce water radon levels of 5,000 pCi/L or higher. Before taking any corrective action to reduceradon levels, at least one additional measurement should be taken to confirm if radon in the water exceedsthe 5,000 pCi/L guideline.EPA to Adopt Water Radon Standard: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is currently consideringa maximum concentration limit between 300 pCi/L and 1,000 pCi/L for public water. Additional informationon the health risks from radon in water can be obtained from the State of Connecticut’s Radiation ControlProgram.
Sodium can result from contamination by sewer water or industrial wastes but, in most cases, from erosion ofnatural deposits. When values exceed 28 ppm, drinkers must be notified so that individuals on sodium-restricteddiets can use another source.Trihalomethanes are those compounds created by the chlorination of drinking water by the reaction of the chlorineor organic matter. A Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 100 milligrams per liter (mg/L) has been established.Some people who drink water containing Trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL, over many years, may experienceproblems with their liver, kidneys or central nervous system, or may have an increased risk of getting cancer.Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of water. It is monitored because it is a good indicator of water quality. Highturbidity levels can also hinder the effectiveness of disinfection.The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs,springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurringminerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence ofanimals or from human activity.Contaminants that may be present in source water include:• Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic
systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.• Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or resulting from urban
stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming.• Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff,
and residential uses.• Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of
industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff,and septic systems.
• Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and miningactivities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulationsthat limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and DrugAdministration (FDA) regulations establishes limits for contaminants in bottled water that must provide the sameprotection for public health.Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of somecontaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. Moreinformation about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection
Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-7491).However, 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 haveundergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infantscan be particularly at risk from infections.These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines onappropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are availablefrom the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).Continuous monitoring is also being carried out to provide further protection for our drinkers.Please Note: The State of Connecticut Department of Public Health has performed an assessment of our drinkingwater sources. The completed assessment report is available for access on the Drinking Water Division’s web siteaddress of: www.dph.state.ct.us/BRS/Water/DWD.btm
WATER CONSERVATION:Water is our most valuable natural resource. It is essential for life as we know it. Although we in the Northeast havebeen blessed with, at least until now, what appears to be an unlimited supply of pure, safe drinking water, thepreservation of this valuable resource is the responsibility of all.Following are just a few of the many steps that we can all take to prevent the waste and, perhaps loss, of this mostvaluable gift:1. Detect and repair leaky faucets and toilets.2. Install water-efficient showers and dish-and/or-clothes washers.3. Limit the time spent in showering.4. Water lawns and gardens only when needed, and then only early (or late) in the day to prevent water loss by
evaporation during the hot period of the day. Add mulch when possible to prevent evaporation.5. Wash automobiles only when absolutely necessary.6. Do not leave water running when shampooing or brushing one’s teeth.If we all take these steps as well as any others that you may think of, we will be able to assure ourselves and futuregenerations of a safe, potable drinking water supply for many years to come.The Worthington Fire District is proud to offer this report to its customers; and to report that all of the State andFederal requirements for Public Water have not only been met but, in most cases, exceeded every standard set bythe State and Federal Agencies for quality and safety.If you have any questions concerning the Worthington Fire District and the water that it supplies, please contact Mr.Joe Pagliaruli at 205-7011. Mr. Pagliaruli will be most happy to answer any questions that you may have, or supplyyou with any additional information you may need.
