Cedar Highlands SubdivisionAnnual Drinking Water Quality Report2023We'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. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand
the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water. Our water sources have
been determined to be from groundwater sources from local springs.The Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for Cedar Highlands Subdivision is available for your review. It contains
information about source protection zones, potential contamination sources and management strategies to protect our drinking water. Our sources have been determined to have a low level
of susceptibility from potential contamination from sources such as wildlife and roads.We have also developed management strategies to further protect our sources from contamination.
Please contact us if you have questions or concerns about our source protection plan.
There are many connections to our water distribution system. When connections are properly installed and maintained, the concerns are very minimal. However, unapproved and improper
piping changes or connections can adversely affect not only the availability, but also the quality of the water. A cross connection may let polluted water or even chemicals mingle into
the water supply system when not properly protected. This not only compromises the water quality but can also affect your health. So, what can you do? Do not make or allow improper
connections at your homes. Even that unprotected garden hose lying in the puddle next to the driveway is a cross connection. The unprotected lawn sprinkler system after you have fertilized
or sprayed is also across connection. When the cross connectionis allowed to exist at your home,it will affect you and your family first. If you’d like to learn more about helping
to protect the quality of our water, call us for further information about ways you can help.I'm pleased to report that our drinking water meets federal and state requirements.If you
have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contactTracy Feltner at 435-865-9901. 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 third Thursday of each month at the City Council Chambers at 6:30 pm at 10 North
Main Street. Cedar Highlands Subdivisionroutinely monitors for constituents in our drinking water in accordance with the Federal and Utah State laws. The following table shows the
results of our monitoring for the period of January 1st to December 31st2023all 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.

Erosion of natural depositsIn 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-Detects (ND) - laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present.ND/Low - High - For water systems that have multiple sources of water,
the Utah Division of Drinking Water has given water systems the option of listing the test results of the constituents in one table, instead of multiple tables. To accomplish this, the
lowest and highest values detected in the multiple sources are recorded in the same space in the report table. Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) - one part per million

corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000.Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter (ug/l) - one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years,
or a single penny in $10,000,000. Parts per trillion (ppt) or Nanograms per liter (nanograms/l) - one part per trillion corresponds to one minute in 2,000,000 years, or a single penny
in $10,000,000,000.Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) - picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water.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.Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) - The “Maximum Allowed” (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in
drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) - The “Goal”(MCLG) is the level of
a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) - The level
of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.

Date- Because of required sampling time frames i.e. yearly, 3 years, 4 years and 6 years, sampling dates may seem out-dated.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. Cedar Highlands
Subdivision 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.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 man-made. Those constituents can be microbes, organic or inorganic chemicals,
or radioactive materials. All drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants
does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection
Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.MCLs are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated constituents, a person
would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect.Nitrates: As a precaution we always
notify physicians and health care providers in this area if there is ever a higher than normal level of nitrates in the water supply. Lead: Lead in drinking water is rarely the sole
cause of lead poisoning, but it can add to a person's total lead exposure. All potential sources of lead in the household should be identified and removed, replaced or reduced.Some people
may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have
undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice
from their health care providers about drinking water. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants
are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline [phone]). We at Cedar Highlands Subdivision work around the clock to provide top quality water to every tap. We ask that all
our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life and our children’s future. Cedar Highlands Subdivision Central Iron Co. WCD
