Alpine City 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 penod of Jan. 1 to Dec. 31. 1998. Some contaminants are permitted to be sampled less than once a year. In such a case, the date of the most recent sampling is listed in the following table. 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 of these constituents does not necessarily pose a health nsk. In the following table you wi find many terms and abbreviations you might not be farri-la- r with. To help you better understand these terms, we've provided the following definitions: not present.

To accomplish this, the lowest and highest values detected m the multiple sources are recorded m the same space in the report table. Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mgl) - one part per million corresponds to one minute m two years as a single penny m S1 0.000. Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (ug1) - one part per billion corresponds to one minute to 2,000 years, or a single penny m $10,000,000. Parts per trillion (ppt) or Nanograms per liter (nanograms!) - one part per tnflion corresponds to one minute m 2.000.000 years or a smgle penny m $10,000,000,000. Picocunes per liter (pCiL) - pcocunes per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water. Millirems per year (mrenvyr) - measure of radiation absorbed by the body. Million Fibers per Liter (MGL) - million fibers per liter is a measure of the presence of asbestos fibers that are longer than 10 micrometers. a measure of the danty Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) - nephelometric turbidity unit 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. Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) The "Maximum Allowed" (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as dose to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) - The "Goaf (MCLG) is the level of a contaminant in dnnking water below which there is no known or expected nsk to health MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. Date - Because of required sampling time frames, i.e., yearly, three years, four years and six years, sampling dates "May" seem out of date Waivers - Because some chemicals are not used or stores m areas around dnnking 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 Dnnking Water Source Protection Plans. s , '""'"'W '!M 'I XV f I- -: - J:iX-J-l V Open House - f' rT'f retail outlet.
