This report is designed to inform you about the quality water and services we deliver to you every day Our constant goal is to provide you with a sale and dependable supply ot dnnkingwater. We want you to understand the eflorts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources We are committed to ensuring the quality ol your water. Our water source is (name the source and type. i.e.. wells, Ourwellsdrawtromthe DuncariAquiler. surface water. ie., River Jordan or we purchase our water trorn the City of Waterville which is treated surface water from Lake Duncan.) (This is REQUIRED information). " 3 We 're very pleased to provide you with this year's Annual Water Ouality Report. We want to keep you informed about the excellent water and services we have delivered to you over the past year. Our goal is and always has been, to provide to you a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. Our water sources are the Walden Well 1 producing from the Kennecott aquifer, Cedar Pass Well 2 producing from the Great Blue Line Formation and the Pony Express Ex-press Well 3. The City ot Eagle Mountain has a Drinking Water Source Protection Plan that is available for review. It provides more information such as potential sources of contamination and our source protection areas. It has been determined we have a low susceptible level to potential sources of contamination, such as septic tanks, roads, homes If you have any questions regarding source protection, or would like to review our plan please contact Jordan Harris at our office Jordan's phone number is (801)789-6600. Our source is in a remote location, and there are no potential contamination sources in the protection zones so we consider our source to have a low susceptibility to potential contamination events I'm pleased to report that our drinking water meets federal and state requirements. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact Jordan Harris at (801 J789-6600, or our Public Works Director Mike Wren at (801)789-6600 We want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility It you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings They are held on the first and third Tuesday of each month al 7 00 P M in the Council Chambers. The City of Eaqle Mountain routinely monitors for constituents in our drinking water in accordance with the Federal and Utah State laws The following table shows the results ol our monitoring for the period of January 1 st to December 31st, 2005. All drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably rea-sonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some constituents. It's important to remember that the presence of these constituents does not necessarily neces-sarily pose a health risk In the following table you will find many terms and abbreviations you might not be lamiliar with To help you better understand these terms we've provided the following definitions Non-Detects (ND) - laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present NDLow - High - For water systems that have multiple sources ot water, the Utah Division of Drinking Water has given water systems the option of listing the test results of the constituents in one table, instead of multiple tables To accomplish this, themlowest 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 years or a single penny in $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 trillion (ppt) or Nanograms per liter (nanograms1) - one part per trillion corresponds to one minute in 2.000,000 years, or a single penny in S1 0 .000 000 .000 Parts per quadrillion (ppq) or Picograms per liter (picogramsl) - one part per quadrillion correspondsto one minute in 2,000,000,000 years or one penny in $10,000,000 000,000. Plcocuries per liter (pCiL) - picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water. Millirems per year (mremyr) - measure of radiation absorbed by the body. Million Fibers per Liter (MFL) - million fibers per liter is a measure of the presence of asbestos fibers that are longer than 10 micrometers. Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) nephelometricturbidity 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, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow Treatment Technique (TT) - (mandatory language) A treatment technique is a required process inlendedto 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 usinq 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 Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) - The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition ol a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) - The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. Date- Because of required sampling time 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 around drinking water sources, some water systems have been given waivers that exempt them from having to take certain chemical samples, these waivers are also tied to Drinking Water Source Protection Plans. In addition to the sampling outlined in the table above, we have also sampled for (21 Volatile Organic Chemicals, 28 Pesticides. 35 Unregulated Organic Chemicals and 10 Unregulated Pesticides). These additional chemicals were not delected. II you would like a list of the specific (Pesticides, Organic Chemicals) Chemi-cals) that we sampled for, please contact Jordan Harris at (801)789-6600 The following constituents are regulated more closely, Arsenic, Lead, Nitrate, Radon and Cryptosporidium. Notice of any detection is required. Our system was granted a 3 year exemption for compliance with a new lower standard for arsenic on December 7. 2005 and will expire on January 31, 2009 in January 2006. the US Environmental Protection Agency lowered the standard lor arsenic from 50.000ppt to 10,000ppt Our system's average level ot arsenic is 6.200 to 15,000ppt and was in compliance with the previous standards We are exploring the best compliance options for our system. The options include the drilling of a new well or a treatment of the water to lower ttie arsenic System management will keep you apprised of any decisions with regard lo this effort and will invite your comments as appropriate. 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 drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at leasl small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk More mlormalion about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1 -800-426-4791 . MCL's are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated constituents, a person would have to drink 2 liters li-ters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect. In our continuing efforts to maintain a safe and dependable water supply It may be necessary to make improvements in your water system. The costs of these improvements may be reflected in the rate structure. Rate adjustments may be necessary in order to address these improvements. Thank you lor allowing us to continue providing your family with clean, quality water this year In order to maintain a sate and dependable water supply we sometimes need to make improvements that will benefit all of our customers. These improvements are sometimes reflected as rate structure adjustments. Thank you for understanding Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIVand infants can be particularly at risk from infections These people should seek advice about dnnkina water frnm their health care providers EPACDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791) Please call our office if you have questions.
