We're very pleased to provide you with this year's Annual Water Quality Report. We want to keep
you informed about the excellent water and services we have delivered to you over the past year.
Our goal is and always has been, to provide to you a safe and dependable supply of drinking water.
Our water sources have been determined to be from three wells: Well#l , Well#2, and Well#3.
They provide Ground Water.
The Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for Rocky Ridge is available for your review. [t
provides more information such as potential sources of contamination and our source protection
areas. Possible sources of contamination include I-15, a railroad and agricultural activities. If you
have any questions regarding source protection, contact the office to review our source protection
plan.
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact the
Town Office at 435-623-1249 or at [e-mail]. 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 Wednesday of every month at 7:30 p.m.
at the Rocky Ridge Town Hall.
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.
Our constant goal is to provide you with a saf-e 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 wells.
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 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.
Rocky Ridge 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 I't to December 3l'1, 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 1urn1ftfi,ision of Drinking water
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.
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.
Ports 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.
Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) - picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water
Maximam 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 Contaminont 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.

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. Rocky Ridge Town Water System 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

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 effbcts can be obtained by calling the Environmental
Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at l-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 Hotline
(800-426-4791).
We at Rocky Ridge 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.
