Our water sources are 500 West Well, 1200 East Well, Dry Creek Well and four Springs which are grouped as one source. Lehi City Corp. has a Water Source Drinking Protection Ran that is available for review to our customers at our office, ft provides more information such as potential sources of contamination and our source protection areas. I'm pleased to report that our drinking water is safe and meets federal and state requirements. This report shows our water quality and what it means to you, our customer. ff you have questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact Lee Barnes, Water and- -. Wastewater .. at Superintendent, 768-710- ext. 3. We want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility.

Lehi City Corp. routinely monitors for constituents in our drinking water in accordance with the Federal and Utah State laws. The following table shows the results of our monitoring for the period of Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 1998. All drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some constituents. It's important to remember that the presence is are longer than 10 micrometers. Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) - nephelometric turbidity unit is a measure of the clarity of water. Turbidity in excess of 5 NTU is just noticeable to the average person. Action Level (AL) - the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, trig- better understand these terms, we've provided the following definitions: analysis indicates that the constituent is not present. NDLow - High - For water systems that have multiple sources of water, the Utah Division of Drinking Water has given water systems the option of listing the test results of the conin one table, stituents instead of multiple tables. To accomplish this, the lowest and highest values detected in the multiple sources are recorded in the same space in the report table. Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mgl) -one part per million corresponds to one minute in two or a single penny in ?jars 10,000. Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (ugl) one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000. Parts per trillions (ppt) or liter Nanograms per (nanogramsl) - one part per trillion corresponds to one minute in 2,000,000 years, in or a single penny $10,000,000,000. Parts per quadrillion (ppq) or Picograms per liter (picogramsl) - one part per quadrillion corresponds to one minute in 2,000,000,000 years or one penny in $10,000,000,000,000. Picocuries per liter (pCiL) - picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water. Millirems per year gers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. Treatment Technique - (mandatory lan(TT) guage). A treatment technique is a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) ( mandatory language) The "Maximum Allowed" (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) (mandatory language) The "Goal" (MCLG) is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. Date - because of time required sampling frames i.e. yearly. 3 years, 4 years and 6 years, sampling dates "May" seem out of date. Waivers (W) - Because some chemicals are not used or stored in areas water around drinking sources, some water systems have been given waivers that exempt them from having to take certain (mremyr) - measure of radiation absorbed by the body.

Water samples taken in August 1998 confirmed the of total coliform Cresence Total conforms are common in the environment and are generally not harmful themselves. The presence of these bacteria is usually a result of a problem with water treatment or the pipes which distribute the water, and indicates that the water may have been contaminated with organisms that It IOOO n EMif(Bnl It Pn ,kii I jiiiI arm, ! causa disease. Symptoms may include diarrhea, cramps, nausea, and possible jaundice, and any associates headaches and fatigue. When the monthly samples confirmed the presence of total coliform bacteria we took steps to identify and correct the problem. Subsequent monthly sampling has confirmed the absence of total coMorms in the water system. The Total Coliform Rule requires water systems to meet a stricter timit for coliform bacteria.

If this limit is exceeded, the water supplier must notify the public by newspaper, television or radio. To comply with the stricter regulation, we have increased the average amount of chlorine in the distribution system. All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination by constituents that are naturally occurring or are man made. Those constituents can be microbes, organic or inorganic chemicals, or radioactive materials. All dnnkmg bottled water, including water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least smal amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water er poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Protection Environmental Safe Drinking Agency's Water Hotline at . MCLs are set at very levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated constituents, a I I in ini.i Mi mfamm lifmnii person would have to dnnk 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a chance of having the described health effect. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. per- d sons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIVAIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their care providers. on EPACDC guidelines appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Crypand other tosporidium contamimicrobiological nants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline health We at Lehi City Corp. work around the dock to provide top quality water to every tap.

"Our favorite thing about the New Utah! online edition is that it covers a lot of community news and is very easy to read and pick out what we want to see. We also like the advertisements that show up now and then. We think it's great." "I like the menus on the left -side of the screen. You can easily go to any one of iiS?: those headings. My personal favorite is the Sports section. It's nice to get online and see the outcome of local sports." "The thing I liked best about your newspaper on the internet is J? that I didn't have to scroll down through the content of all the articles. I could choose what I wanted to read from the title and first few sentences of the article and just click on it if I wanted to read the whole thing. I also like the fact that I didn't have to look at the advertisements if I didn't want to." "I recently visited your online edition of New Utah!! found the navigating tabs help me get quickly to the particular section I want to read. The classified ads were also quick and easy and I appreciate the short synopses of the news articles so I can get a glimpse of the story before clicking on the link to the complete text." pic-ture- ia i on w www.newutah.com e -- no a nli nii few! mm ri More LOCAL news than any other source! v if 19 www.newutah.com |
