Dear Mr. Davis:

Subject: Consumer Confidence Report for the New Paria Water Company System, #13037

Enclosed is a copy of Water System Name Consumer Confidence Report. It contains the water
quality information for our water system for the calendar year 2023 or the most recent sample data.

Since this system is fewer than 500 in population, the District will notify its customers by
posting on its monthly billing statement that a copy of the CCR is available at the District office
and can be mailed out upon request.

If you have any questions, please contact me at [phone]

Sincerely,

Amanda Buhler, Office Manager
Kane County Water Conservancy District

2023 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report
Kane County Water Conservancy District
New Paria Subdivision - System #13037

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 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
source is ground water which comes from our New Paria Water Company’s well.

The Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for New Paria Company 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 access roads and residences with septic tanks. Our source has 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 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 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.

The Kane County Water Conservancy District is pleased to report that our drinking water
meets federal and state requirements. This report shows our water quality and what it means
to you our customer. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water
utility, please contact Amanda Buhler at [phone] or e-mail her 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 normally held on the 2nd Thursday of each month in the KCWCD conference room at
6:00PM.

Kane County Water Conservancy District 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 1st to December 31st, 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:

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.

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.

Date- Because of required sampling time frames i.e. yearly, 3 years, 4 years and 6 years, sampling dates may seem
out-dated.

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 [phone]).

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. New Paria 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.

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.

We at New Paria 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.
