Home My WebLink AboutDDW-2024-008572 1 2023 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report Fox Hill Mobile Home Community Water System #02052 Source Supply: South Willard Water Co. # 02021 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 source is Fox Hill MHC, Wells 1 & 2, ground water sources and are located in Box Elder County at 7720 South Hwy 89, South of Willard. Our wells draw from the East Shore Aquifer System. We also have a water connection to South Willard Water Co., Fox Hill MHC Well 1 had a well casing failure, and we have turned both Well 1 & 2 off 2/30/2010. We have been purchasing water from South Willard Water Co. system #02021 as our sole source of water since 2/30/2010. Fox Hill MHC has a Drinking Water Source Protection Plan that is available for review. It contains information about source protection zones, potential contamination sources and management strategies to protect our drinking water. Potential contamination sources common in our protection areas are (septic tank systems, roads, homes, and fruit farms etc). Our source(s) have a medium to high susceptible level to potential sources of contamination. We have also developed management strategies to further protect our sources from contamination. If you have any questions or would like to know more about your drinking water, please contact the office at (801)997-9926 to review our source protection plan. Fox Hill MHC has a backflow prevention awareness program, the following information will help you understand the importance of backflow prevention and what it is. 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. 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. 2 We are pleased to report that our drinking water meets federal and state requirements, good tasting supply of drinking water for you and your family’s use. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility service or drinking water, please contact (Fox Hill Mobile Home Community, LLC, P.O. Box 150204 Ogden, UT 84415 or by phone (801)997-9926 so we may address any customers questions. We want our valued customers to be informed about their drinking water. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our scheduled meetings. They are held whenever necessary to discuss new items or changes in our system, please contact Fox Hill Mobile Home Community, LLC for more information. Fox Hill MHC 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 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 or the most recent test results. 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: We have also listed in the following table the most recent testing done by date and which water system source it was tested from. The sole source of water used since 2/30/2010 was from South Willard Water Co. System #02021 Fox Hill Mobile Home Community, System (FH) South Willard Water Co. (SWWC) The sole source of water data used since 2/30/2010 was from South Willard Water Co. Non-Detects (ND) - laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present. ND/Low - High - For water systems that have multiple 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 accomplish this, the lowest and highest values detected in the multiple sources are recorded in the same space in the report table. 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. 3 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) - measure of radiation absorbed by the body. Million Fibers per Liter (MFL) - million fibers per liter is a measure of the presence of asbestos fibers that are longer than 10 micrometers. 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. Treatment Technique (TT) - A treatment technique is a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. 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. 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 microbial contaminants. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) - The level of a drinking water 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 out-dated. 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. 4 TEST RESULTS Contaminant Violation Y/N Level Detected ND/Low- High Unit Measurement MCLG MCL Date Sampled Likely Source of Contamination Microbiological Contaminants Total Coliform Bacteria N ND N/A 0 Presence of coliform bacteria in 5% of monthly samples 2023 Monthly FH Naturally present in the environment Fecal coliform and E.coli N ND N/A 0 If a routine sample and repeat sample are total coliform positive, and one is also fecal coliform or E. coli positive 2016 Monthly FH Human and animal fecal waste Turbidity for Ground Water Maple Grove Spring: Reservoir Well: N N .07 .04 NTU N/A 5 11/05/19 SWWC Soil runoff Turbidity for Surface Water N N/A NTU N/A 0.5 in at least 95% of the samples and must never exceed 5.0 N/A Soil Runoff (highest single measurement & the lowest monthly percentage of samples meeting the turbidity limits) Radioactive Contaminants Alpha emitters N 9.7 pCi/1 0 15 11/19/19 SWWC Erosion of natural deposits Beta/photon emitters* N 6.2 pCi/L 0 50 11/19/19 SWWC Decay of natural and man- made deposits.

Coliforms are bacteria that are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other, potentially-harmful, bacteria may be present. Coliforms were found in more samples than allowed and this was a warning of potential problems. Total coliforms are common in the environment and are generally not harmful themselves. The presence of these bacteria is usually a result of a problem with water treatment or the pipes which distribute the water, and indicates that the water may have been contaminated with organisms that can cause disease. Symptoms may include diarrhea, cramps, nausea, and possible jaundice, and any associated headaches and fatigue. When the monthly sample confirmed the presence of total coliform bacteria we took steps to identify and correct the problem. Subsequent monthly sampling has confirmed the absence of total coliforms in the water system. 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 system. We’re proud that your drinking water meets or exceeds all Federal and State requirements. We have learned through our monitoring and testing that some constituents have been detected. The EPA has determined that your water IS SAFE at these levels. Inadequately treated water may contain disease-causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites, which can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches. 9 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. 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). Thank you for allowing us to continue providing you and your families with quality drinking water this year. In order to maintain a dependable source of drinking water, we sometimes need to make improvements that will benefit all of our customers. These improvements are sometimes reflected as rate structure adjustments. Thank you for understanding. We at Fox Hill Mobile Home Community, Josh VanOrden, work closely with South Willard Water Co. to provide you with top quality, good tasting drinking water to your tap. We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources. Please continue to take your part in maintaining our water quality, following all back-flow prevention guidelines and handouts, please continue conserving the water you use, conserving it today for tomorrow’s use. Fox Hill MHC system #02052, did receive a system violation, failure to appoint Certified System Operator, system test reports were not sent, all were addressed and correcting the violation, there is nothing wrong with the drinking water. System has appointed a Certified System Operator and have provided the Division of Drinking Water all required report requirements to bring system back to an approved status.
