We're pleased to present to you this year's Annual Drinking Water Quality Report. This report is&ffiteltffithgWater
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 springs and a well. They are ground water sources.
The Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for Manti 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 low in susceptibility to potential
contamination. We have also developed management strategies to further protect our sources from contamination.
Please contact us ifyou 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 concems are very minimal. However, unapproved and improper piping changes or connections can
adversely affect not only the availability, but also the quality, of the water. A cross connection may let polluted
water or even chemicals mingle into the water supply system when not properly protected. This not only
compromises the water quality but can also affect your health. So, what can we do? Do not make or allow improper
connections at your homes. Even that unprotected garden hose lying in the puddle next to the driveway is a cross
connection. The unprotected lawn sprinkler system after you have fertilized or sprayed is also a cross connection.
When the cross connection is allowed to exist at your home it will affect you and your family first. If you'd like to
learn more about helping to protect the quality of our water, call us for further information about ways you can help.
['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 utiliry, please contact Cory Hatch 435-
835-2401. 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 first and third Wednesday at 6:30 pm.
Manti routinely monitors for constituents in our drinking water in accordance with the Federal and Utah
State laws. The following table shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January l', to December 31,,,
2023.
All drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts
of some constituents. It's important to remember that the presence of these constituents does not necessarily pose a
health risk.
In the following table you will find many terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar with. To help
you better understand these terms we've provided the following definitions:
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 mulfiple 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 pq liter (nonograms/l) - one part per trillion corresponds to one minute in
2,000,000 years, or a single penny in S10,000,000,000.
Murimum 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 Contuminant 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.
Mttimum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) - The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water.
There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
I
Murimum Residuol Disinfectant Level Goul (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 m icrobial contaminants.
Dute- Because of required sampling time frames i.e. yearly, 3 years, 4 years and 6 years, sampling dates may seem
out-dated.
ll/aivers-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 Plan.

All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination by constituents that are naturally
occulring or are man made. Those constituents can be microbes, organic or inorganic chemicals, or radioactive
materials. All drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts
of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk.
More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental
Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.
MCLs are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many regulated
constituents, a person would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to have a one-
in-a-million chance of having the described health effect.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-
compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ
transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly
at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.
EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other
microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotlin e (800-a26-4791).
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. Manti is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of
materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been siffing 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 Hotlin e or at http:/ lwww.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
