Color
As noted in the table above the
only secondary contaminant
in your water that exceeded
the MCL was color, which is
regulated by the Secondary
Drinking Water Regulations
pursuant to section 1412 of
the Safe Drinking Water Act,
as amended (42 U.S.C. 300g-1).
These regulations control
contaminants in drinking
water that primarily affect the
aesthetic qualities relating
to the public acceptance of
drinking water. The regulations
are not Federally enforceable
but are intended as guidelines
for the States.
Interconnection
As of July 28, 2007 the Lake Ajay water
system was interconnected to the City of
St. Cloud. The Lake Ajay water treatment
plant is no longer providing or treating
water to its residents.
save water indoors:
Collect the water you use for rinsing
produce and reuse it to water houseplants.
Grab a wrench and fix that leaky faucet. It’s simple,
inexpensive & can save 140 gallons a week.
Time your shower to keep it under 7 minutes.
You’ll save up to 1000 gallons a month.
Source Water
Assessment Information
Source Water: The City of St. Cloud is supplied by
groundwater pumped from 5 wells and is chlorinated for
disinfection purposes and then fluoridated for dental health
purposes. The wells tap the Floridian Aquifer and transmit
the water to one of the City’s three treatment facilities.
Please Note: The Department of Environmental Protection
performed a Source Water Assessment on the Saint
Cloud Water System in 2012. These assessments were
conducted to provide information about any potential
sources of contamination in the vicinity of the wells.
One (1) potential source of contamination was identified
with a moderate susceptibility level. This source is
underground petroleum storage tanks. The assessment
results are available on the FDEP Source Water
Assessment and Protection Program site at www.dep.
