HomeMy WebLinkAboutDDW-2024-009569DEAR PARK CITY WATER CUSTOMER,
We are pleased to provide the 2023 Drinking Water Quality Consumer
Confidence Report. Once again, Park City Water has provided the highest
quality drinking water and customer service for our residents, visitors, and
businesses. As with years past, all drinking water met or exceeded current
quality standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and
Utah Division of Drinking Water (DDW) for testing from January through
December 2023.
SETTING THE STANDARD FOR EXCELLENCE
Park City has one of the most complex municipal water systems in the U.S.
Although we are classified as a “small water system,” by the EPA, we have
eight water sources and three water treatment plants, a high number for a
town of our size. We continuously achieve and exceed strict compliance
with the Utah Division of Drinking Water and EPA standards, as well as
unyielding professionalism and dedication to excellence.
INVESTMENT IN OUR WATER TREATMENT INFRASTRUCTURE
Park City’s municipal water system is an invaluable community asset,
and we have made improvements that will ensure a safe and plentiful
drinking water supply for generations to come. Our community has
made a substantial investment in the new 3Kings Water Treatment Plant
(WTP), which began treating water from Judge and Spiro Mine Tunnels
this spring. This state-of-the-art WTP has further improved water quality,
increased system redundancy, and increased overall drinking water
treatment system capacity.
TRANSFORMATION IN PUBLIC UTILITIES
VOICE OF THE PEOPLE AWARD
The Public Utilities Department was awarded Polco’s 2023 Voice of the
People (VOP) Award for Transformation in Utilities. The VOP Awards honor
local governments that best engage residents and include public opinion
in community decisions. Park City offers many challenges when providing
water to our customers including water quality impacts from our mining
history and lack of water supply/storage at the top of the watershed. We
are extremely proud of the work our team accomplished over the past
10 years to transform and improve the City’s water service. A large part
of this transformation involved a complete rebuild of our water quality
and treatment infrastructure, and the implementation of aggressive water
conservation programs. This award provides an opportunity to share
and celebrate this accomplishment with our customers and our elected
officials who have supported us in this effort.
The Bottom Line: Park City water continues to be of superior quality. You
can drink Park City water with confidence and pride. If you ever have
questions about your water quality don’t hesitate to give me a call.
Sincerely,
Michelle De Haan
Water Quality and Treatment Manager

3KINGS WATER TREATMENT PLANT BEGAN PRODUCING DRINKING
WATER FROM JUDGE AND SPIRO MINE TUNNELS IN SPRING 2024.
3KINGS WATER TREATMENT PLANT
The 3Kings WTP along Three Kings Drive in Thaynes Canyon began
delivering drinking water to taps this spring. Water is successfully treated
to achieve ultra-low stream discharge limits and exceeds all drinking water
compliance standards.
The new plant treats water flowing out of the Judge Tunnel, Spiro Tunnel, and
Thiriot Springs, and has the capacity to produce up to 7.2 million gallons of
drinking water each day. The plant utilizes a conventional surface water treatment
technology that includes pre-oxidation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, and
adsorption to remove heavy metals including arsenic, antimony, iron, manganese,
zinc, cadmium, thallium, and lead to non-detectable or ultra-low levels. The plant
also utilizes ultraviolet light and on-site generated sodium hypochlorite (bleach) to
remove viruses and pathogens through disinfection. Refer to the diagram below
for a visual depiction of the treatment plant processes mentioned above.
HAS YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS BEEN CLOSED
FOR WEEKS? FLUSH THE WATER PIPES
Many of Park City’s second homes and seasonal
businesses are unoccupied for extended
periods. Park City’s Water Department is
dedicated to delivering high quality drinking
water, and it is important homeowners and
businesses understand their responsibility
beyond the meter to ensure continued high
quality drinking water at the tap. Past the meter,
each customer is responsible for the quality
of their water. Park City water quality staff has
guidance for home and business owners to
maintain good water quality inside their homes
and businesses. If a home or building has been
empty or underused for months, it’s important
to “flush the water pipe” to move out the older
water and bring in fresh water. The quality of
the water that’s been sitting in the internal
plumbing of an empty or under-used home
or building can decline, creating taste and
odor issues, discolored water, and potential
bacteria growth. It’s important to move out that
older water and bring in a fresh supply. Please
visit parkcity.org/water-quality for step-by-step
home and building flushing instructions.
CHECK FOR CROSS CONNECTIONS
Cross connections are defined as actual or
potential connections between a drinking water
pipe and another source, where it is possible for
a contaminant to enter the drinking water supply.
This connection, if not properly protected, can
lead to the contamination of the drinking water
system through a backflow event. For example, a
hose that is submerged in a pool, hot tub, carwash
bucket, bathtub or laundry bucket, or a pesticide
sprayer connected to a garden hose, creates
a cross connection. Cross connections are
generally unintentional and can happen anywhere
there is a water supply. It is the responsibility of
the consumer to purchase, install, and arrange
annual testing and maintenance of any backflow
prevention device/assembly in order to comply
with Park City’s Cross Connection and Backflow
Ordinance. Yearly backflow assembly inspection
reports need to be submitted to the City every
year. For more information visit parkcity.org/
departments/public-utilities/backflow-prevention.
Please be vigilant and report any suspicious
activity that could result in a cross connection or
any possible contamination of the water system,
malicious or unintentional.
HARD WATER
Water hardness is comprised of naturally
occurring minerals, particularly calcium and
magnesium. Though hard water can be a
nuisance, it is not regulated by DDW or EPA as
it is not considered to present a risk to human
health. Effects of hard water may include scale
on plumbing fixtures and appliances; soap scum
on shower walls, bathtubs, sinks, and faucets;
and reduced lathering of soaps, shampoos,
and household cleaners. The hardness of Park
City water is tested regularly in eight areas of
the distribution system. Results of this testing,
among other water quality parameters, can be
found by visiting parkcity.org/water-quality-in-
your-neighborhood. It is important to remember
that water hardness can change frequently in
the Park City distribution system due to changes
in source water utilization and seasonal water
quality shifts. If you are considering a household
water softening device or any other at-home
water treatment device, please visit tinyurl.com/
drinktap-water-treatment.
HOME AND BUSINESS OWNER RESPONSIBILITIES
QUINNS JUNCTION WATER TREATMENT PLANT
The Quinns Junction Water Treatment Plant treats surface water collected
from the Weber River upstream of Rockport Reservoir with microfiltration
for pathogen inactivation, organic contaminant removal, taste and odor
control, manganese removal, and chlorine disinfection. The plant has the
capacity to treat up to 5.2 million gallons of water per day.
CREEKSIDE WATER TREATMENT PLANT
The Creekside Water Treatment Plant treats water from Park Meadows
Well which was classified by the Utah DDW as groundwater under the
direct influence of surface water. The treatment process includes two-
stage cartridge filtration and ultraviolet light for pathogen inactivation, and
disinfection. On-site generated chlorine is utilized for the disinfection of both
the Park Meadows Well and the Divide Well.
WELLS AND SPRING
Groundwater is pumped from the Middle School and Divide wells and
spring water is collected from Thiriot Springs. They are disinfected with
chlorine before entering the distribution system.
JSSD WHOLESALE TREATED MINE TUNNEL WATER
Water purchased from Jordanelle Special Services District (JSSD) is
predominantly supplied to Deer Valley neighborhoods. Water purchased
from JSSD comes from groundwater that is classified as “under the influence
of surface water” and is conveyed through the Ontario No. 2 Drain Tunnel.
This water is treated at the Keetley Water Treatment Plant, which utilizes lime
softening and filtration for reduction of metals and pathogen inactivation.
SOURCE PROTECTION PLAN
Park City’s Ground Water Source Protection Plan was initially approved by
the state in 1999 and last updated in 2021. Weber Basin’s Surface Water
Source Protection Plan was updated in 2020, and Jordanelle Special Service
District updated its Source Water Protection Plan in 2021. These plans
contain information about source-protection zones, the location of potential
contamination sources, a rating of susceptibility to contamination which is
generally low, and management-protection strategies including educational
materials. Potential contamination sources common in our protection areas
are residential properties; roadways; infrastructure (i.e., sewer and storm
drains); golf courses; mine tailings and related mine workings; and ski-resort
operations. The City’s municipal code includes source protection, and the plans
are available by request. In 2023 the source protection ordinance was updated
to prohibit fluoro ski wax due to its contributions to PFAS detections in the wells.
PARK CITY WATER SOURCES AND TREATMENT PROCESSES
QUINNS JUNCTION WATER TREATMENT PLANT
EPA HEALTH INFORMATION
To ensure your tap water is safe to drink, the Environmental Protection
Agency prescribes limits on the amount of certain contaminants in water
provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration
regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which must
provide the same protection for public health.
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. For more information about contaminants and potential health effects,
call the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include
rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, tunnels, and wells. As
water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it can
dissolve naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive
materials, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of
animals or human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
(A) Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come
from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock
operations, and wildlife.
(B) Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally
occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic
wastewater discharge, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.
(C) Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources
such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses.
(D) Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile
organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and
petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban
stormwater runoff and septic systems.
(E) Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the
result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
ATTENTION IMMUNOCOMPROMISED PERSONS
Some people may be more susceptible to contaminants in drinking water
than the general population. Immunocompromised persons undergoing
chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with
HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, elderly people, and infants can
be particularly at risk for infections. If applicable, please seek advice from your
healthcare provider. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the
risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are
available at the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
INFORMATION ABOUT LEAD
Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated
with service lines and home plumbing. Park City Water 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
epa.gov/safewater/lead.
Exposure to lead in drinking water can cause serious health effects in all age
groups. Infants and children can have decreases in IQ and attention span. Lead
exposure can lead to new learning and behavior problems or exacerbate existing
learning and behavior problems. The children of women who are exposed to
lead before or during pregnancy can have an increased risk of these adverse
health effects. Adults can have an increased risks of heart disease, high blood
pressure, kidney, or nervous system problems.
In December 2021 the EPA released the Revised Lead and Copper Rule (LCRR) to
better protect children and communities from the risks of lead exposure. The EPA
found that lead service lines are the largest contributor of lead in drinking water.
Therefore, they are requiring that all water systems conduct a physical inventory
of all service line materials from homes built before the 1988 Lead Ban mandatory
on both the City and Homeowner side of the service line by October of 2024. City
staff has completed a thorough records review of Capital Improvement Projects
and interviewed longtime City staff and local tradespersons. Inspections have also
been conducted by customers and our staff. The results of this work give us a high
level of confidence that there are no lead service lines in Park City. However, we
will continue conducting inspections and asking for customer surveys until the
October 2024 deadline to have as complete an inventory as possible. Currently,
we are requesting customers participate in our survey and inspections of service
lines from homes built before 1970 to continue to verify there are no lead service
lines in our water system. To participate in our survey please, visit our website
parkcity.org/departments/public-utilities/water-division/service-line-inventory.
Information regarding your service line material is available upon request at
servicelineinventory@parkcity.org.
Park City water quality professionals understand the risks of lead exposure
and actively manage and mitigate risk. Lead and copper sampling is routinely
performed per EPA and DDW requirements in both source waters and customer
taps. In 2022 we completed two rounds of lead and copper sampling. All results
were well below EPA action levels, with lead results ranging from <0.5–6 parts per
billion (ppb) in comparison with 15 ppb action level. Results from tap sampling
are available upon request. If you are interested in participating in our customer
tap sampling, please contact us to see if your home qualifies. For information
regarding these programs contact us at servicelineinventory@parkcity.org.
PFAS IN WELL WATER, ON TRACK TO ACHIEVE COMPLIANCE
In April of 2024 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized Drinking Water regulatory standards for a group of chemicals called per-and polyfluoroalkyl
substances (PFAS), commonly known as “forever chemicals.” PFAS are a large family of synthetic chemicals that have been used in a wide variety of consumer
products and industrial processes since the mid-20th century. The EPA has determined that PFAS in drinking water and other sources can cause serious health
problems if you are exposed to them over a long period of time.
PFAS detected in Park City’s well water has been found to be above the new standards. Fortunately, PFAS has not been found in any of our other drinking water
sources which are treated at the new 3Kings WTP and the Quinns Junction WTP. With the 3Kings WTP now delivering drinking water, we are able to reduce our
reliance on well water and are on track to achieve compliance with the new rule.
We recommend reading this EPA website which outlines, “Meaningful and Achievable Steps You Can Take to Reduce Your Risk and Limit Your Exposure to PFAS”
from many routes of exposure and this EPA website regarding home treatment devices that remove PFAS: epa.gov/system/files/documents/2024-04/water-filter-
fact-sheet.pdf.
We have identified that fluoro ski wax is the probable contamination source and have been working diligently to reduce the continued impact on our water supplies
by prohibiting it by ordinance and partnering with the community and retailers on a ski wax take back program and encouraging everyone to ski fluoro-free. For
more information go to engageparkcity.org/ski-wax.
WATER QUALITY DATA TABLE
We routinely monitor for contaminants in your drinking water in accordance with the EPA and Utah DDW regulations. The following table shows the results of
our water-quality analysis from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023 – or the most recent testing completed in accordance with regulations. Every regulated
contaminant detected in the water, even in the most minute traces, is listed in this table, along with the highest level allowed by regulation (MCL), the ideal goals
for public health, the amount detected, the usual sources of contamination, and a key to units of measurement. Park City also samples within the distribution
system for many contaminants four times a year. Those results can be found at parkcity.org/water-quality-in-your-neighborhood.

(*) – Highest result for water purchased from Jordanelle Special Service District (JSSD) which predominantly supplies Deer Valley neighborhoods.
ACTION LEVEL (AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water system must follow.
LOCATIONAL RUNNING ANNUAL AVERAGE (LRAA):Samples collected for four consecutive quarters at one sample location, with results averaged over that period.
MAXIMUM CONTAMINANT LEVEL GOAL (MCLG): 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 CONTAMINANT LEVEL (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as possible, using optimal treatment technology.
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.
MAXIMUM 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.
NOT APPLICABLE (NA): The measurement does not apply.
NON-DETECT (ND): No contaminant level detected during testing.
NEPHELOMETRIC TURBIDITY UNITS (NTU): Measure of water clarity.
PICOCURIES PER LITER (PCI/L): Measure of the radioactivity in water.
PARTS PER BILLION (PPB) OR MICROGRAMS PER LITER (UG/L):Units describe the levels of detected substances. One ppb is approximately equal to one drop of water in a small backyard swimming pool (13,000 gallons).
PARTS PER MILLION (PPM) OR MILLIGRAMS PER LITER (MG/L): Units describe the levels of detected substances. One ppm is approximately equal to one drop of water in 13 gallons of water.
PARTS PER TRILLION (PPT) OR NANOGRAMS PER LITER (NG/L): Units describe the levels of detected substances. One ppt is approximately equal to one drop of water in 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools (over 13 million gallons).
SECONDARY MAXIMUM CONTAMINANT LEVEL (SMCL): USEPA does not enforce SMCLs. They are established only as guidelines to assist public water systems in managing their drinking water for aesthetic considerations, such as taste, color and odor. These contaminants are not considered to present a risk to human health at the SMCL.
TREATMENT TECHNIQUE (TT): A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.
VARIANCE: Permission not to meet an MCL under certain conditions.
WAIVERS: 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..
