We want you to be aware that your drinking water is safe and meets all of the Federal and State water quality requirements. The attached report lists only a few of the contaminants that we must test for in the water. We also test for radioactive contaminants, pesticides, herbicides, volatile organic chemicals, and synthetic organic chemicals. We test for approximately 75 different contaminants. None of these contaminants were found in any significant amounts and are not reported. If you have any specific questions on any of these contaminants, please call us. Please note that trace amounts of fluoride and arsenic have appeared naturally in our water. However, the amounts of these contaminants are well below the standards established by the Federal and State Drinking Water Laws. Please remember that one of the most serious threats to our good water quality is having a cross connection to the secondary irrigation system. It is unlawful for you or your neighbors to make any kind of a connection between the drinking water and secondary irrigation system. Please help us protect your water by making sure that a cross connection is not made. Also, teach your children and grand children not to drink out of the secondary irrigation system. We take pride in serving you good quality water. We are forfunate to have good water available for our use. This water comes from Joe's Valley Reservoir and we ask you to help protect the purity and quality of this water. A water source protection plan for the water sources coming into Joe's Valley Reservoir has been prepared and is available for your review.

Thefollowing table shows the results of our monitoring for the period of Jinuary t"t to llTll,.:-l1l*923. Ail drinkins water, inctud-ins ootfleo oirnring ;ater, may bereasonaDly expected to contain at least small amounts of some contuminants. Itis important to remember that the presence of these contaminants 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: Non-DetecB (flD) - 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. Par* per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/t) - one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in g1O,OOO. Parb per.bi ion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (ug/l) - one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in g1b,OOO,OOO. ParB per.tri ion (ppt) or ttanograms per liter (nanograms/t) _ one part per trillion corresponds to one minute in 2,000,000 years, or a single penny in 6fo,OOCi,oOO,OOo. Picocuries pet 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. Mlllion FlbeE 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) - nepherometric turbidity unit is a measure of theclanty ot 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, triggerstreatment or other requirements which a water system must foilow. Maximum Contaminant Levet (MCq -fhe .Maximum Allowed,, (MCL) is the level of acontaminant that is allowed in drinking water. l4CLs are set as close to the I\4CLGS asfeasible using the best available treatment technology. Draximum Contaminant Levet Goal (MCL6, - The "Goal,, (MCLG) is the level of acontaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGS allow for a margin of safety. ,afe Because of required sampling time frames i.e. yearly, 3 years,4 years, 6 years, and9 years, sampling dates may seem out of date. WaiveE (W) - Because some chemicals are not used or stored in areas around drinkingwater sources, some water systems have been given waivers that exempt them fromhaving to take certain chemical samples, these waivers are also tied to Drinking WaterSource Protection Plans. 2023 WATER TEST RESULTS CASTLE DALE #08001 Synthetic Organic Contaminants including Pesticides Herbicides (every 3 years) During 2022 the water was tested for 26 groups of Pesticides and Herbicides. None were detected in any of the samples. Volatile Organic Contaminants (every 3 yearc) During 2024 the water was tested for 57 different Volatile Organic Contaminants. None were detected in any of the samples. As you can see by the table, our system had no violations. 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. All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination by contaminants that are naturally occurring or are manmade. Those contaminants can be microbes, organic chemical contaminants, inorganic contaminants, 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 are potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-479L. 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. 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. Castle Valley Special Service District 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. 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 at (800) 426479L. Castle Valley Special Service District work diligently 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. Please call our office if you have any questions.

Backflow is the reversal of flow from a residential or commercial system back into the public drinking water system. A backllow incident could carry dangerous pollutants or contaminants into our public drinking water supplies making them unsafe to use. Backflorv can occur if your plumbing system is physically connected (a cross con- nection) to any source of contamination or pollution. Examples of possible cross connections include landscape sprinkler systems, hose attachments for utility sinks, chemical tank trucks, chemical sprayers, and garden hoses. The International Plumbing Code, as adopted by the state of Utah and the Utah Public Drinking Water Rules requires that all cross connections be eliminated or protected against backflow by installing an approved backflow prevention device or assembly. What Can Backflow lnto Your Water? Many public drinking water systems are contaminated each year by pollutants or contaminants that backflow into the water system through unprotected cross-con- nections. Identifring and eliminating or protecting cross connections is a matter of public health! into Utah public drinking water systems due PROTECT YOUR DRINKING WATER LEARN ABOUT PROTECTING YOUR HOME FROM THE DANGERS ASSOCIATED WITH CROSS CONNECTIONS! - I to cross connections drinking water system and anything else, including another water supply that can allow pollutants or contaminants to backflow into the public drinking water system. Backflow Preventlon Assemblies Backflow prevention assemblies provide protection against contamination or pollution. A cross connection is defined as, 'Any actual or potential connection between a potable water system and any other source or system through which it is possible to introduce into the public drinking water system any used water, industrial fluid, gas or substance other than the intended potable waterl Cross connections and backflow incidences in the State of Utah have resulted in dan- gerous, highly contaminated water unexpectedly entering public drinking water systems. Irrigation waters, oil, toxic boiler compounds, sewage, pesticides, and other extremely dangerous contaminants have found their way I n 11 I I 7 .T -2 WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP PREVENT CROSS CONNECTIONS There are many connections to our water distribution system. When connections are properly in- stalled 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 af- fect your health. So, what can you do? Do not make or allow improper connections at your homes. When the cross connection is allowed to exist at your home, it will affect you and your family first. Your Garden Hose and Threaded Potable Outlets A large majority of backflow inci- dents are created by the common garden hose. Modern plumbing codes require that all threaded .po- table water outlets (hose bibs or sill cocks), except water heater drains and clothes washer connections, be protected by a non-removable hose bib vacuum breaker or an atmo- spheric vacuum breaker. The instal- lation ofa hose bib vacuum breaker (HBVB) is an inexpensive way to protect again5l contamination hap- pening tfuough your garden hose. HBVB Kitchen and Bathroom Faucets Kitchen and bathroom faucets are generally designed with an ade- quate air gap between the end of the faucet and the flood rim of the sink. They are manufactured so that a hose can not be attached to the end of the faucet. Slip-on hose connec- tions can defeat the protection of the airgap and shoutd not be used! Shower Sprayers Hand held shower sprayers and other similar hose attachments also pose a problem. If submerged in thewater, back-siphonage can oc- cur. This problem can be corrected by installing a special hose vacuum breaker. Laundry Room Your washing machine has air gaps built-in at the factory. Utility sink faucets must be equipped with a hose bib vacuum breaker or atmo- spheric vacuum breaker. Water Softener Drain Line Drain lines tiom water softeners and water conditioners are typically connected to the sewer line. An air gap must be provided between the end of the drain line and the sewer line eliminate the possibility of si- phoning raw sewage back into the drinking water system. Drain lines tiom water softeners and water conditioners are typically connected to the sewer line. An air gap must be provided between th- eend of the drain line and the sewer line eliminate the possibility of si- phoning raw sewage back into the drinking water system. Toilets Many toilets are equipped withbatl- cock assemblies that do not meet code. These assemblies can allow water from the toilet tank to be si- phoned back into the drinking wa- ter supply. Anti-siphon ballcock assemblies must be used to protect against back-siphonage. Landscape Sprinkler Systems The Plumbing Code requires that all landscape sprinkler systems con- nected to the public water system be equipped with an approved back- flow prevention device or assembly. Any sprinkling system that can uti- lize both public drinking water sup- plies and secondary water supplies must follow specific plumbing reg- ulations to prevent raw water from entering the drinking water system!

SHARP Manager Jtne,2024 Cleveland Town Resident Re: Annual Drinking Water Quality Report - 2023 Dear Water Customer The attached report is submitted to you as required by the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act. We want you to be aware that your drinking water is safe and meets all of the Federal and State water quality requirements. The attached report lists only a few of the contaminants that we must test for in the water. We also test for radioactive contaminants, pesticides, herbicides, volatile organic contaminants, and synthetic organic contaminants. We test for approximately 75 different contaminants. None of these contaminants were found in any significant amounts and are not reported. If you have any specific questions on any of these contaminants, please call us. Please note that trace amounts of fluoride and arsenic have appeared naturally in our water. However, the amounts of these chemicals are well below the standards established by the Federal and State Drinking Water Laws. Please remember that one of the most serious threats to our good water quality is having a cross connection to the secondary irrigation system. It is unlawful for you or your neighbors to make any kind of a connection between the drinking water and secondary irrigation system. Please help us protect your water by making sure that a cross connection is not made. Also, teach your children and grand children not to drink out of the secondary irrigation system. We take pride in serving you good quality water. We are very fortunate to have good water available for our use. This water comes from three springs in Huntington Canyon and is disinfected with chlorine. These springs provide water of excellent quality that meets or exceeds all of the drinking water requirements. We have a water treatment plant that can treat water from Huntington Creek, but it was not operatedin2023. We ask you to help protect the purity and quality of this water. Please feel free to call the Castle Valley Special Service District if you have any questions about this 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 are three separate springs located in Tie Fork, Little Bear and Big Bear Canyons, which are located in Huntington Canyon. We also have a reserve surface water treatment plant, which was not used during 2023. The Drinking Water Source Protection Plans for Cleveland Town,s springs and water treatment plant are available for your review. They contain information about source protection zones, potential contamination sources and management strategies to protect our drinking water. Potentiai contamination sources common in our protection areas are coal mining, truck trafflc on the highways, the Huntington Power Plant, and recreational activities. 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. reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence ofthese contaminants does not necessarily pose a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPAS Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791. 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: lVon-Detecb (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. ParE per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mgfl) - one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000. ParE per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (ugl)- one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in 910,000,000. ParE per trillion (ppt) or ^lanograms 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. Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) - picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water. 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. Treafrnent Technique fr7,, - A treatment technique is a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. Maximum Contaminant Level (MCq-fhe "Maximum Allowed" (MCL) is the level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. lvlcls are set as close to the MCLGS as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Level 6oal (MCL6,, - The "Goal"(MCLG) is the tevet of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. l,lCLGs allow for a margin of safety. ,afe Because of required sampling time frames i.e. yearly, 3 years, 4 years,6 years, and 9 years sampling dates may seem out of date. 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 ofthe water. A cross connection may let polluted water or even chemicals mingle into the water supply system when not properly connected. The most likely possibility for a cross connection is to the secondary irrigation system. It is against the law to make any connection between the culinary and secondary system. DO NOT DO IT! A cross connection 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? like to learn more about helping to protect the quality of our water, call us for further information about ways you can help. We are pleased to report that our drinking water meets federal and state requirements, If you have any questions about this repoft or concerning your water utility, please contact Jacob Sharp at 381-5333. 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 3d Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the CVSSD omce located at 20 South 100 East, Castle Dale, Utah. Castle Valley Special Service District, acting for Cleveland Town, routinely monitors for contaminants in our drinking water in accordance with the Federal and Ljtah State laws. The foilowing table shows the results of our monitoring for the period of lanuary lst to December 31st, 2023. All drinking water, including botfled drinking water, mat be 2023 WATER QUALITY TEST RESULTS CLEVELAND Synthetic Organic Contaminants including Pesticides and Herbicides (Every 3 years) During 2022 the water was tested for 26 groups of Pesticides and Herbicides. None were detected in any of the samples. Volatile Organic Contaminants During 2017 the water was tested for 57 different Volatile Organic Contaminants. None were detected in any of the samples. As you can see by the table, our system had no violations. We're proud that your drinking water meets or exceeds all Federal and State requiremenG. 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. All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination by constituents that are naturally occurring or are 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 (800) 426-4797. MCL's are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated contaminants, 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. 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. Castle Valley Special Service District 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.oov/safewater/lead. 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 at (800) 426-4791. Castle Valley Special Service District works diligently 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. Please call our office if you have any questions.

The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants are potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-479L. 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. 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. Castle Valley Special Service District is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variefy 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 htto://www.epa.oov/safewater/lead. 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. EPI/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 at (800) 426-479L. Castle Valley Special Service District works 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. Please call our office if you have any questions.

'a A Cross Connection is a physical connection (piping configuration) between the public What is Backflow? Backflow is the reversal offlow from a residential or commercial system back into the public drinking water system. A backflow incident could carry dangerous pollutants or contaminants into our public drinking water supplies making them unsafe to use. Backflow can occur if your plumbing system is physically connected (a cross con- nection) to any source of contamination or pollution. Examples of possible cross connections include landscape sprinkler systems, hose attachments for utility sinks, chemical tank trucks, chemical sprayers, and garden hoses. The International Plumbing Code, as adopted by the state of Utah and the Utah Public Drinking Water Rules requires that all cross connections be eliminated or protected against backflow by installing an approved bacldlow prevention device or assembly. What Can Backflow lnto Your Water? Many public drinking water systems are contaminated each year by pollutants or contaminants that backflow into the water system through unprotected cross-con- nections. Identifring and eliminating or protecting cross connections is a matter of public health! Backflow Prevention Assemblies Backflow prevention assemblies provide protection against contamination or pollution. A cross connection is defined as,'Any actual or potential connection between a potable water system and any other source or system through which it is possible to introduce into the public drinking water system any used water, industrial fluid, gas or substance other than the intended potable water." Cross connections and backflow incidences in the State of Utah have resulted in dan- gerous, highly contaminated water unexpectedly entering public dri-nking water systems. Irrigation waters, oil, toxic boiler compounds, sewage, pesticides, and other extremely dangerous contaminants have found their way c Castle Valley Spccial Service Distdct into Utah public drinking water systems due PROTECT YOUR DRINKING WATER LEARN ABOUT PROTECTING YOUR HOME FROM THE DANGERS ASSOCIATED WITH CROSS CONNECTIONS! to cross connectlons drinking water system and anything else, including another water supply that can allow pollutants or contaminants to bacliClow into the public drinking water system. t-1 J V .- .> WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP PREVENT CROSS CONNECTIONS There are many connections to our water distribution system. When connections are properly in- stalled 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 mingte into the water suppty system when not properly protected. This not only compromises the water quality but can also af- fect your health. So, what can you do? Do not make or allow improper connections at your hornes. VUhen the cross connection is allowed to exist at your home, it will affect you and your family first. Your Garden Hose and Threaded Potable Outlets A large majority of backflorv inci- dents are created by the common garden hose. Modern plumbing codes require that all threaded .po- table water outlets (hose bibs or sill cocks), except water heater drains and clothes washer connections, be protected by a non-removable hose bib vacuum breaker or an atmo- spheric vacuum breaker. The instal- lation ofa hose bib vacuum breaker (HBVB) is an ine4pensive way to protect against contamination hap- pening through your garden hose. HBVB Kitchen and Bathroom Faucets Kitchen and bathroom faucets are generally designed with an ade- quate air gap between the end of the faucet and the flood rim of the sink. They are manufactured so that a hose can not be attached to the end ofthe faucet. Slip-on hose connec- tions can defeat the protection of the airgap and should not be used! l Shower Sprayers : Hand held shower sprayers and other similar hose attachments also pose a problem. If submerged in thewater, back-siphonage can oc- cur. This problem can be corrected by installing a special hose vacuum breaker. Laundry Room Your washing machine has air gaps built-in at the factory. Utility sink faucets must be equipped with a hose bib vacuum breaker or atmo- spheric vacuum breaker. Water Softener Drain Line Drain lines from r.vater softeners and water conditioners are typically connected to the sewer line. An air gap must be provided between the end of the drain line and the sewer line eliminate the possibility of si- phoning raw se\{age back into the drinking water system. Drain lines tiom water softeners and water conditioners are typically connected to the sewer line. An air gap must be provided between th- eend of the drain line and the sewer line eliminate the possibility of si- phoning ralv sewage back into the drinking water system. Toilets Many toilets are equipped with ball- cock assemblies that do not meet code. These assemblies can allow water from the toilet tank to be si- phoned back into the drinking wa- ter supply. Anti-siphon ballcock assemblies must be used to protect against back-siphonage. Landscape Sprinkler Systems The Plumbing Code requires that all landscape sprinkler systems con- nected to the public water system be equipped with an approved back- flow prevention device or assembly. Any sprinkling system that can uti- lize both public drinking water sup- plies and secondary water supplies must follow specific plumbing reg- ulations to prevent raw water from entering the drinking water system!

Sincerely, b Sharp, P.E District Manager D enclosures ) 2023 - Annual Drinking Water euality Report For Emery Town By Castle Valley Special Service District Castle Valley Special Service District is pleased to present to you the 2023 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 are surface water taken from l4uddy Creek, treated at Emery Water Treatment plant. The Drinking Water Source Protection plans for Emery Town,s water treatment plant are available for your review. They contain 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 coal mining, truck tramc on the highways, and recreational activities. 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 tne availabitity, but also the quality ofthe water. A cross connection may let polluted wateroreven chemicals mingle into the water supply system when not properly connected. The most likely possibility for a cross connection is to the secondary irrigation system. It is against the law to make any connection between the culinary and secondary system, DO NOT DO IT! A cross connection 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 requir€ments. CONSTITUENT TABLE DEFINITIONS: 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 deflnitions: Non-DetecE (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 repon table. ParE per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) - one paft per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in 910,000. Parb per bifiion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (ugfl) - one pad per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in g10,OOO,OOO. Parb per trillion (ppt) or llanogtams per liter (nanograms/l) - one part per triilion corresponds to one minute in 2,000,000 years, or a single penny in 910,000,000,000. Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) - picocwies per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water. Mi ion Fibers per Liter (MFL) - million fibers per liter is a measure of the presence of asbestos fibers that are longer than 10 micrometers. Nephelometric furbidity 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. Tteat nent fechnique fZ,) - A treatment technique is a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. Maximam Contaminant Level (MCL) - The "t4aximum Allowed,, (MCL) is the level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. l4CLs are set as close to the MCLGS as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Leyel Goal (MCL6, - 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. Dare Because of required sampling time frames i.e. yearly, 3 years, 4 years, 6 years, and 9 years sampling dates may seem out of date. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact lacob sharp at 381-5333. 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 3d Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the CVSSD office located at 20 South 100 East Castle Dale, Utah. Gstle Valley Special Service District, acting for Emery Town routinely monitors for contaminants in our drinking water in accordance with the Federal and r.Jtah state laws. The following table shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January l.t toDecember 31 ,2023. All drinking water, including bot ed drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. It,s important to remember that the presence of these contaminants does not necessarily pose a health risk. Waiverg (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. 2023 WATER QUALITY TEST RESULTS EMERY Volatile Organic Contaminants (Every 3 yearc) During 2021 the water was tested for 57 different Volatile Organic Contaminants. None were detected in any of the samples. As you can see by the table, our system had no violations. 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 contaminants have been detected. The EPA has determined that your water IS SAFE at these levels. All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination by constituents that are naturally occurring or are 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 are potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (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. 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. Gstle Valley Special Service District 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.eoa.gov/safewater/lead. 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 at (800) 426-479I.

GILES Chairman JACOB L. SHARP nager Ferron City Resident Re: Annual Drinking Water Quality Report - 2023 "SE';TffiffiffiDear Water Customer: The attached report is submitted to you as required by the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act. We want you to be aware that your drinking water is safe and meets all of the Federal and State water quality requirements. The attached report lists only a few of the contaminants that we must test for in the water. We also test for radioactive contaminants, pesticides, herbicides, volatile organic contaminants, and synthetic organic contaminants. We test for approximately 75 different contaminants. None of these contaminants were found in any significant amounts and are not reported. If you have any specific questions on any of these contaminants, please call us. Please note that trace amounts of fluoride and arsenic appear naturally in our water. However, the amounts of these contaminants are well below the standards established by the Federal and State Drinking Water Laws. Please remember that one of the most serious threats to our good water quality is having a cross connection to the secondary irrigation system. It is unlawful for you or your neighbors to make any kind of a connection between the drinking water and secondary irrigation system. Please help us protect your water by making sure that a cross connection is not made. Also, teach your children and grandchildren not to drink out of the secondary irrigation system. We take pride in serving you good quality water. We are very forfunate to have good, quality water available for our use. This water comes from Millsite Reservoir and we ask you to help protect the purity and quality of this water. A water source protection plan for the water sources coming into Millsite Reservoir has been prepared and is available for your review. Please feel free to call Castle Valley Special Service District if you have any questions about this report. Sincerely, b Sharp, P.E IrE(Ul District Manager ) 2023 - Annual Drinking Water euality Report For Ferron City By Castle Valley Special Service District castle valley special service District presents to you this year's Annual Drinking water eualityRepoft. This report is designed to inform you about the quality ofthe 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 effofts 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 are surface water taken from the N4illsite Reservoir and treated at Ferron Cityt water treatment plant. The Drinking Water Source Protection plan for Ferron City,s water treatment plant is available for your 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 coal mining, truck traffic on the highways, and recreational activities. Our sources have a low suscepfibility to potential contamination. We have also developed management strategies to further protect our sources from contamination. Please contact us if you have quesiions or concerns about our source protection plan. important to remember that the presence of these contaminants 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: lVon-Dete.B (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. Parb per million (ppm) or M ligrams per liter (mg/t) - one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a singl€ penny in $1O,OOO. ParE per billion (ppb) or Micrograms prcr liter (ug/t) - one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $1O,O0O,0OO. Parb per trillion (ppt) or Nanograms per liter (nanogrdms/t)- one part per trillion corresponds to one minute in 2,000,000 years, or a single penny in g1O,OOO,OOO,0O0. Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) - picocuries per titer is a measure of the radioactivity in water, Million Fibe6 per Liter (MFL) - million fibers per liter is a measure of the presence of asbestos fibers that are longer than 1O micrometers. lvephelometric Turbidity Unit (Ifru) - 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 Conbminant Level (MCL) - fhe '.l,laximum Allowed,, (MCL) is the 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 Levet Goal (tfCL6,, - The ,,Goal,,(MCLG) is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. lvlCLGs allow for a margin of safety. ,are Because of required sampling time frames j.e. yearly, 3 years, 4 years, 6 years, and 9 years, sampling dates may seem out of date. Waiverc (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. There are many connections to our water distribution system. when connections areproperly 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 ofthe water. A cross connection may let polluted water or even chemicals mingle into the water supply system when not properly connected. The most likely possibility for a cross connection is to the secondary irrigation system. It is against the law to makeany connection between the culinary and secondary system. DO NOT DO IT!! A cross connection 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 thatunprotected 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 crossconnection. when the cross connection is allowed to exist at your'home it will affect you and your family first. If you? like to learn more about helping to protect the quality of ourwater, call us for further information about ways you can help. I'm pleased to report that our drinking water meets federal and statelequirements. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contactlacob sharp at 381-5333. we want our varued customeri to be informed about their waterutility. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. They are held on the 3d Thursday of each month it 7:00 p.ml at the CVSSD office lo;tedat 20 South 100 East Castle Dale, Utah. Castle Vrlley Special Service District, acting for Ferron City routinely monitors for contaminants in our drinking water in accordance with the Federar and utah state raws.The following table shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January lst toDecember 31+, 2023. All drinkjng water, including botfled diinking water, may bereasonably expected to contain at least small amounis of some contahinants. It,s 2023 WATER TEST RESULTS FERRON synthetic organic contaminants including pesticides and Herbicides (Every 3 years) During 2023 the water was tested for 26 groups of Pesticides and Herbicides. None were detected in any of the samples. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) In 2023 the Division of Drinking water (DDw) required follow-up voc testing in Ferron due to the gasoline leak issues that were experienced in 2010.20ll.VOCtestsweredoneatllocation: 25SouthStateStreet. Thehighresultsareshowninthetable. Follow-up testing in 2023 is continuing at the 25 South State location. More than 50 other compounds are tested for as part ofthe vOC tests andresulted in non-detects during this testing' If you have questions about the voc data please contact Jacob sharp at 435-3g1-5333 or jsharp@etv.net, As you can see by the table, our system had no violations. We're proud that your drinking water meets or exceeds all Federal and staterequirements. we have learned through our monitoring and testing that some constituents have been detected. The EpA has determined that yourwater IS SAFE at these levels. All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination by contaminants that are naturally occurring or are manmade. Thosecontaminants can be microbes, organic or inorganic chemicals, or radioactive materials. All drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonablybe expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the waterposes a health risk. More information about contaminants are potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hofline at(8OO) 426-479t. McL's are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated constituents, a person would have todrink 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. If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water isprimarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. casue valley special Service District is responsible forproviding high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. when your water has been sitting forseveral hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking orcooking.

We want you to be aware that your drinking water is safe and meets all of the Federal and State water quality requirements. The attached report lists only a few of the contaminants that we must test for in the water. We test for radioactive contaminants, pesticides, herbicides, volatile organic chemical contaminants, and synthetic organic contaminants. We test for approximately 75 different contaminants. None of these contaminants were found in any significant amounts and are not reported. If you have any specific questions on any of these contaminants, please call. Please note that trace amounts of fluoride and arsenic have appeared naturally in our water. However, the amounts of these contaminants are well below the standards established by the Federal and State Drinking Water Laws. Please remember that one of the most serious threats to our good water quality is having a cross connection to the secondary irrigation system. [t is unlawful for you or your neighbors to make any kind of a connection between the drinking water and secondary irrigation system. Please help us protect your water by making sure that a cross connection is not made. Also, teach your children and grand children not to drink out of the secondary irrigation system. We take pride in serving you safe, quality water. We are very fortunate to have quality water available for our use. This water comes from Joe's Valley Reservoir and we ask you to help protect the purity and quality of this water. A water source protection plan for the water sources coming into Joe's Valley Reservoir has been prepared and is available for your review. Please feel free to call Castle Valley Special Service District if you have any questions about this report. Sincerely, b L. Sharp, P.E. D District Manager J Castle Valley Special Seruice District PO Box 877 Castle Dale, UT 84513 PRSRT STD U.S. POSTAGE PAID CASTLE DALE, UTAH PEfu\4IT #I9 BOXHOLDER Orangeville, Utah 84537 2023 WATER QUALITY TEST RESULTS OR.ANGEVTLLE #080 Synthetic Organic Contaminants including Pesticides and Herbicides (every 3 years) During 2022 the water was tested for 26 groups of Pesticides and Herbicides. None were detected in any of the samples. Volatile Organic Contaminants (every 3 years) During 2024 the water was tested for 57 different Volatile Organic Contaminants. None were detected in any of the samples. As you can see by the table, our system had no violations. 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. All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination by contaminants that are naturally occurring or are manmade. Those contaminants can be microbes, organic chemical contaminants, inorganlc contaminants, 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 are potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-479L. 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. 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. Castle Valley Special Service District 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://vvww.epa.qov/safewater/lead. 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 Drinklng Water Hotline at (800) 426-479L. Castle Valley Special Service District work diligently 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. Please call our office if you have any questions.

This report is designed to inform you about the quality of the water and services wedeliver to you every day. Our constant goal is to provial you wjth a safe and dependabl;supply of drinking water. we want you to understand the efforts we make to continuallyimprove th€ water treatment process and protect our water resources. we are committed toensuring the quality of your water. our water sources are surface water taken from theCottonwood Creek and loe's Valley Reservoir. The Drinking Water Source protection plans for Orangeville Cityt water treatment plantare available for your review. They contain informalion about source protection zones,potential contamination sources and management strategies to protect our drinking water.Potential contamination sources common in our protection areas are coar mining, truik traffic on the highways, and recreationar activities. our sources have a row susceptibirrty to potentiarcontamination. We have also developed management strategies to further protect oursources from contamination. please contact us if you have queiions or concerns about oursource protection plan. There are many connections to our water distribution system. when connections are properry installed.and maintained, the concerns are very minimal. However, unapproved and impiopeipiping changes or connections can adversely affect not only the availability, Uut atio inequality of the water. A cross connection may let pofluted watei or even chemicars mingre intothe water supply system when not properly connecteO. fhe most titeiy possibility fori crossconnection is- to the secondary irrigation- system. It is aoainst Ute law to make ;connection between the culinary and secondaryGlSdIoT Do IT!! A croEconnection not only compromises the water quality but can also affect your heal$r. So, whatcan you do? Do not make or allow improper connections at your homes. Even thatunprotecteq garden hose rying in the puddre next to the driveway is a cross connection. Theunprotected lawn sprinkler system after you have fertilized or sprayed is also a crossconnection. when the cross connection is aflowed to exist at your home it wil affect you andyour family first. If you d like to learn more about helping to irotect 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 staterequirements.

Castle V?lley Special Servace District, acting for Orangeville City routinely monitors forcontaminants in our drinking water in accordance with the Federal and utah state laws. Thefollowing table shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January ls toDecember 3ls, 2023. All drinking water, includ-jng botued drinking water, may bereasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some cont;minants. Itis important to remember that the presence of these contaminants does not necessarily pose a health risk. In the following table you wirl find many terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar with. To help you better understand these terms we,ve provided the followinq definitions: Non-Detecb (ND) - laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present. IVD/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. Parb per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/t) - one paft per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in 910,000. Parb per bi ion (ppb) or Mictograms per liter (ug/t) - one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $1O,OO0,OOO. ParB per tri ion (ppt) or Nanograms per titer (nanograms/t) - one pad per trillion corresponds to one minute in 2,0OO,OOO years, or a single penny in gfO,OOO,OOO,OOO. Picocuies per liter (pCi/L) - picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water. Millirems per year (mrem/yO - measure of radiation absorbed by the body. Million Fiberc pet Liter (MFL) - million fibers per liter is a measure of the presence of asbestos fibers that are longer than 1O micrometers. Nephelometric Turbidity unit (NTU) - nepherometric turbidity unit is a measure of the clarity of water. Turbidity in excess of 5 NTU is just noticeable toihe average person. Action Level (AL) - the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. Maimum Contaminant Level (MCL) - The "Maximum Allowed,, (MCL) is the level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLS are set as closeto the N4CLGS as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum @ntaminant Level Goal (MCL6, - The '.Goat,, (tvtCLG) 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. Dafe Because of required sampling time frames i.e. yearly, 3 years, 4 years, 6 years, and 9 years, sampling dates may seem out of date_ waivers (w) - Because some chemicars 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.
