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 source has been determined to be from groundwater sources. Our well source has been
determined to have a low level of susceptibility from potential contamination from sources such
as septic tanks and residential areas, as it is high above the development. We are committed to
ensuring the quality of your water.
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.
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact John
Jacob at the number listed on the top of this report.
Eagles Landing Water Company, LLC. routinely monitors for constituents 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 1 st to December 31 st , 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:
Non-Detects (ND) - laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present.
1
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
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
2
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.

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. Eagles Landing Water Company, LLC 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.
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
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.

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 Eagles Landing Water Company work 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.
