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 is surface water from theLittle Deer Creek Intake. Approximately 2 miles
of pipe carries water to Canyon Meadows from the Intake, and is pumped to the water treatment plant, where it is filtered and treated to make your water safe to drink. The Drinking Water
Source Protection Plan for Canyon Meadows Mutual Water is available for your review. It contains information about source protection zones, potential contamination sources and management
strategies to protect our drinking water. Our sources have been determined to have Limitedlevels of susceptibility from potential contamination from sources such as wildlife upstream
from the water intake. 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 of the water. An unprotected 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. All Connections including hose and sprinkler systems should have a backflow preventer installed. 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.I'm pleased to report that our drinking water meets federal and state requirements.This report shows our water quality and what it means to our customers. If
you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contactTony Spackman Cert. Water Operator at 801-602-4482 or Scott Lybbert - Water Board Pres. 509-539-0056.We
want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. If you want to learn more, please attend any regularly scheduled meetings held every second Thursday of the Month.
Or call Scott Lybbert for the Water Board meeting: dates,and times.Canyon Meadows Mutual Waterroutinely 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 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:Non-Detects
(ND) - laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present.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 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.

Erosion of natural depositsIf 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. Canyon Meadow Mutual 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 http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.As you can see by the table,
our system had no violations. We’re proud that your drinking water meets or exceeds all Federal and State requirements. We have learned through our monitoring and testing that some constituents
have been detected. The EPA has determined that your water IS SAFE at these levels. 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 [phone]). We at Canyon Meadows Mutual Water work around the clock
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. Canyon Meadows Mutual Water
