DRINKING WATER NOTICE

WARNING

FOR PARENTS OF INFANTS 6 MONTHS AND YOUNGER
DO NOT USE THE WATER FOR INFANT FORMULA

Routine water samples reported on December 11 and December 26, 2007 showed nitrate concentrations in the drinking water of 10.8 and 10.5 mg/L respectively. This is above the nitrate standard, or maximum contaminant level, of 10 mg/L that the State of Delaware, Division of Public Health has adopted.

Bottled water should be used. We are providing bottled water for infants and their families at the Tool Box Grill

Adults and children older than 6 months can drink the water.

Possible Health Effects

• Infants below the age of six months who drink water containing nitrate in excess of the maximum contaminant level could become seriously ill and, if untreated, may die. Symptoms include shortness of breath and blue baby syndrome. Blue baby syndrome is indicated by blueness of the skin. Nitrate is a concern for infants because they cannot process nitrates in the same way adults can.
• Symptoms in infants can develop rapidly, with health deteriorating over a period of days. If symptoms occur in a child less than 6 months old, seek medical attention immediately.
• If you are pregnant or have specific health concerns, you may wish to consult your doctor.
