Annual Drinking Water Quality Report Copperton Improvement District
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 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 sources have been determined to be from groundwater and surface water sources. Our water sources are 2 wells, and Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District.
The Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for Copperton Improvement District 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 been
determined to have a medium level of susceptibility from potential contamination from sources such as septic tanks, roads, residential areas, industrial areas. 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 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 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.
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 Scott Harrington at 801-502-0367. 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 first Thursday of every month at 6:00 PM.
Copperton Improvement District routinely monitors 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 1 st to December 31 st, 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:
1
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 outdated.
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.

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. Copperton 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 manmade. 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.
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 HIV/ AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections.
These people should seek advice from their health care providers about drinking water.
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 Copperton Improvement District 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.
