A routine drinking water inspection conducted on February 6, 2025 by the state drinking water program identified the following violations that may pose a risk to public health.

Groundwater Entry Point Residual Disinfectant M611 - Supplier has Permitted a Cross

The Town of Hugo signed a contract for repair of the water tower on March 10, 2025. Repair is expected to begin in April 2025. The Town of Hugo is updating our written program to include all non- single family taps. The Town of Hugo is having additional training on recordkeeping.

Uncontrolled cross connections can lead to a back pressure or siphonage event that may allow contaminants or disease-causing organisms to enter the drinking water, which can cause diarrhea, nausea, cramps, and associated headaches. We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health standards. During the inspection it was identified that we did not complete all monitoring/testing, were not monitoring correctly, or were monitoring at an inappropriate location. Therefore we cannot be sure of the drinking water quality during that time.

What does this mean? What should I do?

There is nothing you need to do at this time. If a situation arises where the water is no longer safe to drink, you will be notified within 24 hours. We anticipate resolving the problem by July 3, 2025.
