Re: Annual Drinking Water Quality Report - 2023
Dear Water Customer:
tlAY I 1 2021,
Deot of Environmenhl Ouaft$
oiviSon of Drir*iU VtJirter
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 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. Please feel free to call Castle Valley Special Service
District if you have any questions about this report.
Sincerely,
Sharp, P.E.

2023 - Annual Drinking Water euality Report
For Casfle Dale City
By Casue Valley Special Service District
castle valley special service District presents to you this year,s Annual Drinking water eualityReport. This report is designed to inform you about the quarity of the water and services wedeliver 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 toensuring the quality of your water. our water sources are surface water taken from theCottonwood Creek and Joet Valley Reservoir.
The Drinking water source protection prans for casfle Dare cityt water treatment prant areavallable for your review. They contain information about source protection zones, potentiar
contamination sources and management strategies to protect our drinking water. botentiarcontamination sources common in our protection areas are coal mining, tiuck traffic on thehighways, and recreationar activities. our sources have a row sux"eptibirity to potentiarcontamination. We have also developed management strategies to turthei prolect or.sources from contamination. please contact us if you have queiions o, concerns about oursource 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 impiopeiplping changes or connections can adversely affect not only the avaiiability, Uut atso [nequality of the water. A cross connection may iet poluted watei or even chemiiars mingre intothe water supply system when not properly connected. The most lik;ly possibility for
-a
crossconnection is- to- the secondary irrigation- system. It is against the'law to'make anyconnection b€tween the culinary and secondary systEm. IX) NOT DO IT!! A croslconnection not only compromises the water quality but cin also affect your health. so, whatcan 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. 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 wifl affect you andyour family first. If you? like to learn more about helping to froteAile quatity of oui water;call us for further information about ways you can help. -
I'm pleased to report that our drinking water meets federal and statercquir€ments.

!1$le*V,3!ey Snecial Service District, acting for Casfle Date City routinety monitors forconEmrnants rn our drinking water in accordance with the Federal and utah state laws. 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.

2023 - Annual Drinking Water euality Report
For Clawson Town
By Castle Valley Special Service District
Castle Valley Special Service District presents to you this 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 the Millsite Reservoir
and treated at Ferron City's water treatment plant.
The Drinking Water Source Protection PIan for Ferron City/Clawson Town,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. Potentia! contamination sources common in our protection areas are coal mining,
truck traffic on the highways, and recreational activities. Our sources have a low
susceptibility to potential contamination. We have also developed management strategies
to further proted 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 anstalled and maintained, the concerns are very minimal. However, unapproved
and improper piping changes or connections can adversely affect not only the availability,
butalso the quality ofthe water. A cross connection may let polluted water or even chemicais
mingle into the water supply system when not properly connected. The most likely possibility
for a cross connectjon 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.
I'm pleased to report that our drinking water meets federal and state
requirements.
If you have any questions about thjs repoft or concerning your water utility, please contact

What is Backflow?
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!

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

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.

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!

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.

Annual Drinking Water Quality Report
For Cleveland Town
By Castle Valley Special Service District
Castle Valley Special Service District presents 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 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 [phone].
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 [phone].
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 [phone].
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.

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 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
unproteded 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 am pleased to report that our drinking water meets federal and state
requirements.
to remember that the presence of these 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) 426-479I.
In the following table you will find many terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar
with, To help you better undeEtand these terms we've provided the following definitions:
Non-Detecb (ND) - Iaboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present.
ND/Low - fligh - 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 repoft
table.
Parb per mr-llion (ppm) or Mrllt?rams per liter (mg/l) - one paft per million
corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in 910,000.
Parb 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.
Parb per trillion (ppt) or llanograms 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 Tutbidity Unit (IYTU) - 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 ffr'/ - 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 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 Coal (MCL6r - The "Goal" (MCLG) is the tevel of a
contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health.
MCLGS allow for a margin of safety.
Aate 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 (WI 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 celtain chemical samples, these waivers are also tied to Drinking Water Source
Protection Plans.
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 3rd Thursday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the CVSSD office located

Castle Valley Special Service District, acting for Elmo Town routinely monitors for
contaminants 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* to
December 3ls, 2023. All drinking water, including botued drinking water, may be
reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. It's important
2023 WATER QUALIW TEST RESULTS ELMO
Synthetic Organic Contaminants including Pesticides and Herbicides (Every 3 yearc)
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
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 constituents that are naturally occurring or are manmade. Those constituen6
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) 426-479L.
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.

\Mat is a Cross Connection? '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

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!

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

\r'Uhat is a Cross Connection?
A Cross Connection is a physical connection (piping configuration) between the public
What is Backflow?
Backflow is the reversal of flow from a residential or commercial system back into the
public drinking rvater 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 utiliry sinks,
chemical tank trucks, chemical sprayers, and garden hoses.
The Internationat Ptumbing 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. Identifying 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 drinking water
systems. Irrigation waters, oil, toxic boiler compounds, sewage, pesticides, and
other extremely dangerous contaminants have found their way
into Utah public drinking water systems due

CONNECTIONS!
..>
WHATYOU GAN DO TO HELP PREVENT CROSS CONNECTIONS
There are many connections to our water distribution system. When connections are properly in-
stalled and mainlained, the concerns are very minimal. However, unapproved and improper piping
changes or connections can adversely afiect 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.
\Nhen the cross connection is allowed to exist at your home, it will affect you and your family first.
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 problerl 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 rvater softeners
and water conditioners are $pically
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 trom 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 possibiliry of si-
phoning raw sewage back into the
drinking wat€r system.
Toilets
Many toilets are equipped with ball-
cock assemblies that do not meet
code. These assemblies can allolv
water from the toilet tanl( to be si
phoned back into the drinking wa-
ter supply. Antisiphon 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-
llorv prevention device or assembly.
Any sprinlding 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 systeml

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

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.

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. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testingmethods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the safe Drinking water HoUine 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 aspersons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systemdisorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water rrom theirhealth care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbiologicalcontaminants are available from the Safe Drinkinq Water Hofline at(gOO.) 426-47gL.

Annual Drinking Water Quality Report
For Huntington City
By Castle Valley Special Service District
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 [phone].
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 (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
repoft table.
Parb 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 910,000.
Parts 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 910,000,000.
Parb per trillion (ppt) or llanograms per liter (nanogramsfl) - one part per trillion
corresponds to one minute in 2,000,000 years/ or a single penny in 910,000,000,000.
Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) - picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in
water.
Million Fibers per Liter (MFL) - Mlllion fibers per liter is a measure ofthe presence of
asbestos fibers that are longer than 10 micrometers.
lYephelometric Turbidity Unit (NIU) - 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.
Treatmefi fechnigue fTT,, - A treatment technique is a required process intended to
reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.
Maximum Contaminant Level (MCq - fhe "l4aximum 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 Level Goal (MCL6) - The "Goal,(l4CLG) is the level of a
contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health.
MCLG5 allow for a margin of safety.
Castle Valley Special Service District presents to you this year's Annual Drinking Water euality
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 reserye surface water treatment plant, which was not used during 2023.
The Drinking Water Source Protection Plans for Huntington City,s springs and watei
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 traffic 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 fufther 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 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 maki
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.
We are 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
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 loc;ted
at 20 South 100 East, Castle Dale, Utah.
Castle V€lley Special Service District, acting for Huntington City, routinely monitors for
contaminants 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 lst to
December 31*, 2023. All drinking water, including botued drinking water, may be
,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.
2023 WATER TEST RESULTS HUNTINGTON PWS
Synthetic Organic Contaminants including pesticides and Herbicides (Every 3 years)
During 2022 the water was tested for 25 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 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 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 [phone].
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. Ifyou 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) 4264791.
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 heaft of our community, our way of life and our children's future. Please call our office if you have any questions.

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 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.

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.
