Annual Drinking Water Quality Report
Hoytsville Pipe Water Company

We are 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. Our water source is a Spring in
Spring Canyon located on Spring Canyon Road in unincorporated Summit County, Utah in the
area commonly called Hoytsville and a well on Creamery Lane in the same unincorporated Summit
County, Utah also called Hoytsville.

The Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for the Hoytsville Pipe Water Company is available
for your review. It contains information about source protection zones, potential contamination
sources and management strategies to protect our drinking water as well as our test results from
the Summit County Health Department who routinely monitors our water quality. Our sources
have been determined to have a low level of susceptibility from potential contamination from
contamination because our sources are located in remote areas that are protected and have a low
level of susceptibility to potential contamination sources that typically affect more urban areas.
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 Hoytsville Pipe Water Company 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 Tyler
Larsen, President of the Hoytsville Pipe Water Company at 801-540-3667 or
[e-mail]. We want our valued customers to be informed about their
2
water utility. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings.
They are held on the first Monday of every month at the Summit County Courthouse at 6:00 PM.

The Hoytsville Pipe Water company routinely monitors contaminants 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, 2016. All drinking water, including
bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some
contaminants. It's important to remember that the presence of these constituents does not
necessarily pose a health risk.

In 2022, samples were tested by Chemtech-Ford Laboratories, 9632 South 500 West; Sandy, UT
84070. 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.
Parts per quadrillion (ppq) or Picograms per liter (picograms/l) - one part per quadrillion
corresponds to one minute in 2,000,000,000 years or one penny in $10,000,000,000,000.
Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) - picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water.
Millirems per year (mrem/yr) - measure of radiation absorbed by the body.
Million Fibers per Liter (MFL) - million fibers per liter is a measure of the presence of asbestos
fibers that are longer than 10 micrometers.
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.
Treatment Technique (TT) - A treatment technique is a required process intended to reduce the
level of a contaminant in drinking water.

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 (MRDL) - The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in
3
drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for
control of microbial contaminants.
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.
Waivers (W)- 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 Plans.

Microbiological Contaminants:
Total Coliform. Coliforms are bacteria that are naturally present in the environment and are
used as an indicator that other, potentially-harmful, bacteria may be present. Coliforms were
found in more samples than allowed and this was a warning of potential problems.
Fecal coliform/E.Coli. Fecal coliforms and E. coli are bacteria whose presence indicates that the
water may be contaminated with human or animal wastes. Microbes in these wastes can cause
short-term effects, such as diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms. They may
pose a special health risk for infants, young children, and people with severely compromised
immune systems.
Turbidity. Turbidity has no health effects. However, turbidity can interfere with disinfection and
provide a medium for microbial growth. Turbidity may indicate the presence of disease-causing
organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause symptoms
such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches.

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. Hoytsville Pipe Water
Company 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.

Non-Acute (Code 22)
Water samples taken in July 2023 confirmed the presence of total coliform bacteria. Total
coliforms are common in the environment and are generally not harmful themselves. The
presence of these bacteria is usually a result of a problem with water treatment or the pipes
which distribute the water, and indicates that the water may have been contaminated with
organisms that can cause disease. Symptoms may include diarrhea, cramps, nausea, and possible
jaundice, and any associated headaches and fatigue. When the monthly samples confirmed the
presence of total coliform bacteria we took steps to identify and correct the problem. Subsequent
monthly sampling has confirmed the absence of total coliforms in the water system.

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, or radioactive materials. All drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably
14
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.

Total Coliform: The Total Coliform Rule requires water systems to meet a stricter limit for
coliform bacteria. Coliform bacteria are usually harmless, but their presence in water can be an
indication of disease-causing bacteria. When coliform bacteria are found, special follow-up tests
are done to determine if harmful bacteria are present in the water supply. If this limit is
exceeded, the water supplier must notify the public by newspaper, television or radio. To comply
with the stricter regulation, we have increased the average amount of chlorine in the distribution
system.

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
(800-426-4791).

We at the Hoytsville Pipe Water Company 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.
