Annual Drinking Water Quality ReportFremont Waterworks Co., Inc.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
sources have been determined to be from groundwater sources. Our water source is Springs. The Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for Fremont Waterworks Co. 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 alow level of susceptibility from potential contamination from sources such as wildlife.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. 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. I'm pleased to report that our drinking water meets federal and state requirements.
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact Thomas or Kaitlin Taylor at [phone].We want our valued customers to be informed
about their water utility. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our meetings. They are held as needed. Please contact Kaitlin Taylor at 435-749-2110 for the date and time
of the next scheduled meeting. Fremont Waterworks Co.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 1st to December 31st, 2023all 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.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.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. Fremont Waterworks Co. 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 man-made. 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. Total Coliform: The Total Coliform Rule requires
water systems to meet a stricter limit for coliform bacteria. Coliform bacteria are usually harmless, but their presence in water can be an indication of disease-causing bacteria. When
coliform bacteria are found, special follow-up tests are done to determine if harmful bacteria are present in the water supply. If this limit is exceeded, the water supplier must notify
the public by newspaper, television or radio. Nitrates: As a precaution we always notify physicians and health care providers in this area if there is ever a higher-than-normal level
of nitrates in the water supply. Lead: Lead in drinking water is rarely the sole cause of lead poisoning, but it can add to a person's total lead exposure. All potential sources
of lead in the household should be identified and removed, replaced or reduced. 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 Fremont
Waterworks Co. 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.
