Annual Drinking Water Quality Report
Henrieville - 2023
We're 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 with 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
comes from two wells that provide groundwater.
The Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for Henrieville Town is available for your
review. It contains information about source protection zones, potential contamination sources
and management strategies to protect our drinking water. Our sources have a low susceptibility to
potential contamination. We have also developed management strategies to further protect our
sources from contamination. Please contact us if you have questions or concerns about our source
protection plan.
There are many connections to our water distribution system. When connections are
properly installed and maintained, the concerns are very minimal. However, unapproved and
improper piping changes or connections can adversely affect not only the availability, but also
the quality, of the water. A cross connection may let polluted water or even chemicals mingle
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 we 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. \^en the cross connection is allowed to exist at your
home it will affect you and your family first. If 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 water utility, please contact
Brett Chynoweth at [phone]. We want our valued customers to be informed about their
water utility. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings.
They are held on the second Thursday each month at 7:00 p.m. at the city hall.
Henrieville Town 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 January P* to December 3 2023. 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
risk.
In the following table you will find many terms and abbreviations you might not be
familiar with. To help you better understand these terms we've provided ihe following
definitions:
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.
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 (At) - 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 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.

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant
women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components
associated with service lines and home plumbing. Henrieville is responsible for providing high
quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components.
When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead
exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or
cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested.
Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize
exposure is available from the safe Drinking Water Hotline or at
http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
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 least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of
contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information
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.
MCLs 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 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.
Total Coliform: The Total Coliform Rule requires water systems to meet a stricter limit
for coliform bacteria. Coliform bacteria are usually harmless, but their presence in water can be
an indication of disease-causing bacteria. When coliform bacteria are found, special follow-up
tests are done to determine if harmful bacteria are present in the water supply. 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
3
system.
Lead: Lead in drinking water is rarely the sole cause of lead poisoning, but it can add to a
person's total lead exposure. All potential sources of lead in the household should be identified
and removed, replaced or reduced.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general
population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing
chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS 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 health care providers.
EPA/CDC 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).
We at Henrieville Town work around the clock to provide top quality water to every tap. We
ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our
community, our way of life and our children's future.
