AnnualDrinkingWaterQualityReport2023 Bridge Hollow Water AssociationWe'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. Ourconstantgoalistoprovideyouwithasafeanddependablesupplyofdrinkingwater.Wewant 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 has been determined
to be from groundwater sources. Our water source is Bridge Hollow Well REPL-1 and Well 3. Repl-1 well is currently inactive. If Repl-1 is used water testing must be completed and submitted
prior to use. It is currently a back-up well. All current water usage for our system is from Well 3.On June 24, 2023 a boil order was issued for all consumers of Bridge Hollow Water
for E-coli contamination. We determined the most likely source of the contamination was from the tanks and two PRV connections. We took corrective action in the form of spraying chlorine
when we open the tank lids to insure we don’t inadvertently introduce contamination. We located 2 PRVs that had been leaking and were repaired. As a precaution we continued to watch
them monthly for any more leakage. The state requires monthly samples to check for contamination. Summit county takes the samples and provides us with the final result in the form
of an email with an attachment of the official outcome of the samples.
The Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for Bridge Hollow Water Association is available foryourreview.Itcontainsinformationaboutsourceprotectionzones,potentialcontamination sources
and management strategies to protect our drinking water.Our sources have been determined to have a low level of susceptibility from 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 ofthewater.Acrossconnectionmayletpollutedwaterorevenchemicalsmingleintothewater 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.

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. Bridge Hollow Water Association 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 minimizethepotentialforleadexposure by flushing your tap for30secondsto 2minutes before using
water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wishtohaveyourwatertested.Informationonleadindrinkingwater,testingmethods,andsteps 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 manmade.Those constituents can be microbes, organic or inorganic
chemicals,orradioactivematerials.Alldrinkingwater,includingbottledwater,mayreasonably 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 manyregulatedconstituents,apersonwouldhavetodrink2litersofwatereverydayattheMCL 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. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy,personswhohaveundergoneorgantransplants,peoplewithHIV/AIDSorother
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/CDCguidelinesonappropriatemeanstolessentheriskofinfectionbycryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline [phone]).
