Annual Drinking Water Quality Report 2023
BRWCD.CO LLINSTON UTAHO2O7g
We are pleased to present to you this year's Annual Drinking Water Quality Report. This report is
designed to inform you about the quality of the water and services we deliver to you every day. Our
constant goal is to provide you rvith a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to
understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water
resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water. Our water sources have been
determined to be frorn groundwater. Our water source is Deweyville Town.
The Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for Bear River Water Corrservancy District is available for
your review. It contains infonnation about source protection zones, potential contamination sources and
managetnent strategies to protect our drinking water. Our sources have been determined to have a low
levelof susceptibility frorn potentialcontamination from sources suclr as septic tanks, roads, residential
areas, industrial areas. etc. We have also developed lnarlagelnent strategies to further protect our sources
frorn contamination. Please contact us if you have questions or concerns about our source protection plarr.
There are many connectious to our water distribution system. Wherr connections are properly installed
and maintained. the concerns are very minimal. However, unapproved and irnproper piping changes or
connections can adversely affect not only the availability, but also the quality of the rvater. A cross
connection may let polluted water or even chemicals rningle into the water supply system when not
properly protected. This not only compromises the water quality but can also affect your health. So, what
can you do? Do not make or allow improper connections at your homes. Even that unprotected garden
hose lying in the puddle next to the driveway is a cross connection. The unprotected lawn sprinkler
system after you have fertilized or sprayed is also a cross connection. When the cross connection is
allowed to exist at your home, it rvill affect you and your family first. [f you'd like to learn more about
helping to protect the quality of our water. call us for further information about ways you can help.
This report shows our water quality and what it means to you, our customer. If you have any questions
about this report or concerning your rvater utility, please contact the BRWCD General Manager, Carl
Mackley, at 435-723-7034. We want our valued customers to be informed about their rvater utility. If you
want to learn more. please attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. They are usually held on the
fourth Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the BRWCD District Office Conference Room at 102
West Forest Street, Brigham Ciry". Utah. Check the schedule oll our website.
Bear River Water Conservancy District routinely monitors for constituents in our drinking water in
accordance with the Federal and Utah state laws. The followirrg table shows the results of our monitoring
for tlre period of January 1 ,2023 to December 3l ,2023.
We're proud to report that your drinking water met state and federal requirements during 2023.
In the following table you will find many terms and abbreviations you rnight not be familiar with. To help
you better understarrd these tenns we've provided the followirrg definitions:
Non-Detects (ND) - laboratory analysis indicates that tl're constituent is not present.
ND/Low - High - For water systems that have rnultiple sources of 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 accomplislr this. the lowest and highest values detected in the multiple sources are
recorded in the same space in the report table.
Dept. of Environmental QualitY
Division of Drinkirp Water
Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) - 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 (ug/l) - 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 (nanograms/l) - one part per trillion corresponds to one
minute in 2,000,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000,000.
Parts per quadrillion (ppq) or Picograms per liter (picograms/l) - 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 (pCi/L) - picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water.
Millirems per year (mrem/yr) - rneasure of radiation absorbed by the body.
Million Fibers per Liter (MFL) - million fibers per liter is a rneasure of the presence of asbestos fibers
that are longer than l0 micrometers.
Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) - nephelometric turbidity unit is a rneasure 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 wlrich, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other
requirements which a water system rnust follow.
Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) - The "Maximum Allowed" (MCL) is the highest levelof 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) - 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 of a disinfectant is necessary for control of
rn icrobial contam inants.
Date- Because of required sampling time frames i.e. yearly, 3 years, 4 years and 6 years, sampling dates
may seem outdated.
Waivers (W)- Because some chemicals are not used or stored in areas around drinking water sources.
solne water systetns 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.

EPA requires monitoring of over 80 drinking water contaminants. Those contaminants listed in the table
above are the only contaminants detected in your drinking water.
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of
some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health
risk. More ilformation about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the
EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline: [phone].
Sorne people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.
Irnrnuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have
Llndergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and
infants can be particularly at risk frorn infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water
from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection
by Cryptosporidium and otlrer microbial contaminants are available from:
