Sweetwater 2023 CCRDownload

What is the CCR?

The CCR (Consumer Confidence Report) is an annual report about the water quality of our local public water system. It provides a detailed report of sample results that were taken during the previous year. It also provides you with contact information for those responsible for your water system. All public water systems are required to provide a CCR to their customers at least once per year.

There is a violation reported on the CCR relating to disinfection by-products, specifically Trihalomethanes, in which the THM level was above the MCL level. Due to the organic makeup of the raw, sourcewater, from the well and the interaction between the bromides in the sourcewater, the chlorine (disinfectant) interaction causes increased levels of THM and other disinfection by products.

Community Dumpster

PUBLIC NOTICE FROM THE TOWN OF SWEET WATER

CONCERNING THE DUMPSTER LOCATED ON 3RD STREET

This dumpster is provided by the Town of Sweet Water FOR OUR WATER CUSTOMER’S CONVENIENCE.  This dumpster is only for the use of the residents on the Sweet Water Water System.  This notice is to remind you that there are certain items that CANNOT be placed in the dumpster.   These items are as follows:

NO HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE, NO TIRES; NO CAR BATTERIES; NO AIR CONDITIONERS; NO REFRIGERATORS OR FREEZERS, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WITH A COMPRESSOR.

Also, it should go without saying, but if you go to the dumpster and it is full, please take items back and wait until the dumpster has been emptied.  The dumpster cannot be removed when there are items above the top of the dumpster.  When they come to exchange the dumpster, anything above the top is raked off and it creates extra work for someone because this has to be cleaned up.  Cardboard cartons should be broken down flat so as not to take up excess space.

Absolutely nothing should be placed on the ground outside of the dumpster. 

Your cooperation is appreciated.

CoVID-19 Updates

Posted on by Town Hall

Even though things have slowed down a lot due to the corona virus, the staff at the Town Hall has been busy with the routine town business.

We are excited to announce the Town of Sweet Water’s website is being updated to provide more features to help our citizens interact with Town Hall during the CoVID-19 pandemic and in the future. Recently, a community alert and notification feature was released (with a bit of a surprise… someone forgot to clear the test messages…). Additionally, we have released an online reporting system for Water & Street Department issues. We are now able to accept credit/debit card payments over the phone by calling the Town Hall. You can also make your online payments by visiting the Online Payment page on our new website.

If you have not yet had an opportunity to look at our new website we greatly encourage you to check it out. We appreciate any comments and concerns that you may have. We want this website to be an asset to the citizens as well as to potential businesses and newcomers who are interested in our community.
