AnnualDrinkingWaterQualityReport Antimony Town UTAH09001
2023
We're pleased to present to you this year's Annual Drinking Water Quality Report. This report is designed to inform you about the quality of the water and services we deliver to you
every day. Ourconstantgoalistoprovideyouwithasafeanddependablesupplyofdrinkingwater.Wewant 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 sourceshavebeendeterminedtobefromgroundwatersources.OurwatersourceisPoleCanyon Spring and
East Bench Spring.
The Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for Antimony Town Water System is available for your review.It contains information about source protection zones, potential contamination sources
and management strategies to protect our drinking water.Our sources have been determinedtohavealowlevelofsusceptibilityfrompotentialcontaminationfromsources.We have also developed management
strategies to further protect our sources from contamination. Please contact us if you have questions or concerns about our source protection plan.
There are many connections to our water distribution system.When connections are properly installed and maintained, the concerns are very minimal.However, unapproved and improper piping
changes or connections can adversely affect not only the availability, but also the quality ofthewater.Acrossconnectionmayletpollutedwaterorevenchemicalsmingleintothewater supply system
when not properly protected.This not only compromises the water quality but can also affect your health.So, what can you do?Do not make or allow improper connections at your homes.Even
that unprotected garden hose lying in the puddle next to the driveway is a cross connection.The unprotected lawn sprinkler system after you have fertilized or sprayed is also a cross
connection.When the cross connection is allowed to exist at your home, it will affect you and your family first.If you’d like to learn more about helping to protect the quality of our
water, call us for further information about ways you can help.

AntimonyTownroutinelymonitorsforconstituentsinourdrinkingwaterinaccordancewiththe Federal and Utah State laws. The following table shows the results of our monitoring for the period
of January 1st to December 31st, 2022. All drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some constituents.It's important
to remember that the presence of these constituents does not necessarily pose a health risk.

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.

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. Antimony Town is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing
components.Whenyourwaterhasbeensittingforseveralhours,youcanminimizethepotential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or
cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize
exposure is available from the safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination by constituents that are naturally occurring or manmade.Those constituents can be microbes, organic or inorganic
chemicals,orradioactivematerials.Alldrinkingwater,includingbottledwater,mayreasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants.The presence of contaminants
does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection
Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.
MCLs are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible health effects described for manyregulatedconstituents,apersonwouldhavetodrink2litersofwatereverydayattheMCL level for
a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy,personswhohaveundergoneorgantransplants,peoplewithHIV/AIDSorother
immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice from their health care providers about drinking water.
