Christiansen Regional Water Treatment Plant Groundwater tapped by the City’s well is stored in unconsolidated deposits of sand and gravel that underlie the City, and our springs store groundwater found in Paleozoic limestone and quartzites. Provo has a Drinking Water Source Protection Plan (DWSP) that is designed to protect the integrity of our drinking water supplies and is available for review in our oce. General types of potential contamination sources that exist within our DWSP zones for Provo’s wells and springs include sewer lines, golf courses, improved and unimproved roads, residential properties, and commercial/industrial areas. These potential contamination sources are adequately controlled by our commitment to an aggressive watershed protection program, which we consider our first line of defense in assuring the quality of your drinking water. Based on the hydro-geologic setting, the integrity of the source collection systems, the types of potential contamination sources present, and the strict requirements of our DWSP, we consider the Provo well field and springs mildly susceptible to contamination. 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 eects can be obtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791 WH Y P R O V I D E A WA T E R Q U A L I T Y R E P O R T ?
