Morgan Valley Dr.Morgan, Utah 84050 12 February 2024 Brandi Smith Utah Division of Drinking Water Environmental Coordinator / Enforcement Department Ph 801-536-4210 195 N 1950 W SLC, UT 84116 Subject: Consumer Confidence Report for Richville Pipeline Company, 15012. Enclosed is a copy of Richville Pipeline Company Consumer Confidence Report. It contains the water quality information for our water system for the calendar year 2023or the most recent sample data. We have delivered this report to our customers at our annual stockholders meeting held each year and notify each of them that it is available upon request. A copy of the CCR is sent via e-mail to each customer. Well #1 has been approved. We did not use the well as a source of water during the year 2023. If you have any questions, please contact me at 801-458-0738. Sincerely, Richard L Wiscombe Richville Pipeline Company Enclosure2023Annual Drinking Water Quality ReportRichville Pipeline CompanyWe’re very pleased to provide you with this year's Annual Water Quality 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 sourcesare the Taggart Hollow Spring and Well #1.Richville Pipeline Company 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, homes, or feed lots. If you have any questions regarding source protection, contact the office to review our source protection plan. 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 Richard Wiscombe at (801) 458-0738.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. Our annual stockholders meeting is held in February, and you will be advised of the date and time in your regular billings.Richville Pipeline Company 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 1st to December 31st,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 the 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 (AL) - the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.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 required sampling time frames i.e., yearly, 3 years, 4 years and 6 years, sampling dates “May” seem out of date.

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.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 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.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).
