Annual Drinking Water Quality Report
Woodland Hills City-2023
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
comes from the Maple Canyon Well and the Broad Hollow Tank Well and is classified as
groundwater.

The Drinking Water Source Protection Plans for Woodland Hills are available for your
review. They contain information about source protection zones, potential contamination sources
and management strategies to protect our drinking water. Our sources have 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 plans.

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 we 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 is also a cross
connection. When the cross connection is allowed to exist at your home it can 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.
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
Ted Mickelsen, 801-423-3900. We want our valued customers to be informed about their water
utility. If you want to learn more, please contact system management.

Woodland Hills City routinely monitors for constituents in our drinking water in
accordance with 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:
2
Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/I) - 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 (ugll) - one part per billion corresponds to one
minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000.
Picocuries per liter (pCi/1)- picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water
Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) - nephelometric turbidity unit is a measure of the clarity of
water. Turbidity, more than 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.

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. Woodland Hills 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.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general
population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing
5
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 [phone]).

We at Woodland Hills do our best 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.
