Summit Vista Water Company
2021 Consumer Confidence Report

Dear Residents and other stakeholders,
You might not know this, but Summit Vista has its own water company. We purchase water from the
Taylorsville-Bennion Improvement District (hereafter “TBID”) and pump it into our community. Because
of this arrangement, we operate our own water company and as such are required to publish this
document, an annual Consumer Confidence Report (hereafter “CCR”). Officially, the administrator /
president of the water company is an employee at Gardner Company, but the day to day management,
testing and compliance is executed by Summit Vista staff. This document is available to the public upon
request and will be retained for three (3) years.
Water Source
As stated above, Summit Vista Water Company purchases water from TBID, and their annual report is
attached as an addendum to this document. This water is sourced from wells that draw from the Salt
Lake Valley Principal Aquifer. TBID also discloses that some of their water is purchased from Jordan
Valley Water Conservancy District, and their water is treated surface water from Deer Creek and
Jordanelle Reservoirs.
Definitions
All sources of drinking water are subject to naturally occurring or manmade contaminants. The EPA and
Dept. of Environmental Quality set stringent limits to contaminants that are allowed in safe drinking
water. These Maximum Contaminant Level Goal or MCLGs are 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.
Also, Maximum Contaminant Level or MCLs are 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.
Testing, Monitoring and Compliance
Summit Vista staff performs regular testing on water that flows into and through the community to
monitor for the following at the required intervals: residual chlorine levels (decontaminants), lead /
copper levels, and presence of coliform (bacteria). The results and MCL information for Summit Vista
Water Company and TBID is attached to this report. Both Summit Vista Water Company and TBID
reported no violations of contaminant levels. Summit Vista had no monitoring violations in 2020. In
2021, Summit Vista did not provide a coliform sample for the month of March, resulting in a minor
violation. We did not resolve the March sample, but we did provide the April sample in a timely manner.
There were no reportable contaminant levels in these samples.
Disclosures
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.
Immuno-compromised 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 about
drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the
risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe
Drinking Water Hotline [phone]).
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. Summit Vista Water Company 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.

- The sources of drinking water for our system include (pick the applicable source types for your system: rivers, lakes,
streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells). As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it
dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pickup substances resulting from the
presence of animals or from human activity.
- Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
1.Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems,
agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.
2.Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water
runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.
3.Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and
residential uses.
4.Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial
processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems.
5.Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining
activities.
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 water poses a health risk. More information about
contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPAs Safe Drinking Water Hotline at [phone].
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants
in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must
provide the same protection for public health. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the
general population.
Immuno-compromised 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.

CONSTITUENT TABLE DEFINITIONS
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
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.

NEED MORE INFO?
As shown by the Test Results table, the District had no violations.
Your drinking water meets or exceeds all Federal and State require-
ments. Through monitoring and testing some constituents have been
detected. The EPA has determined that your water IS SAFE at these
levels.
In addition to the sampling outlined in the Test Results table, Taylors-
ville-Bennion samples for Volatile Organic Chemicals, Pesticides,
Unregulated Organic Chemicals and Unregulated Pesticides. The
District is continually monitoring for over 120 different drinking water
contaminants. These additional chemicals were not detected. If you would like a list of the specific Pesticides and/or
Organic Chemicals that we sampled for, please contact our office at 801-968-9081.
DRINKING WATER SOURCE
PROTECTION PLAN
Taylorsville-Bennion Improvement District has a Drinking Water Source Protection Plan that has been developed to
minimize or eliminate any potential pollution to the water supply. It also provides more information such as potential
sources of contamination, our source protection areas, and management strategies. It has been determined the District
has a low-medium susceptibility level to potential sources of contamination, such as the use of home fertilizers or leaking
underground storage tanks. If you have any questions or concerns about this program please call our office at (801)
968-9081.
The protection of groundwater resources takes the effort of everyone who lives in the Salt Lake Valley. Proper use and
disposal of fertilizer, pesticides, used motor oil and paints are one area that you can make a difference. More information
on managing household hazardous waste can be obtained by contacting Salt Lake Valley Health Department at (385)
468-3862.
SOURCES OF POTENTIAL CONTAMINATION
One source that is often overlooked, but has the potential to become a very serious threat, is the household garden hose.
When used for cleaning drains, applying landscape chemicals, using a pressure washer or even just left lying where drain-
age accumulates, a garden hose can create a hazard to your health. Contaminated water, under the right conditions, may
be back-siphoned into your drinking water through your hose. To prevent this from happening at your home you can easily
install a Hose Bib Vacuum Breaker on your outside hose faucets. This device is specifically designed to keep undesirable
substances from entering into your drinking water. This simple step can help protect everyone’s water from becoming
contaminated. Hose Bib Vacuum Breakers can be purchased from most home improvement and plumbing supply stores.
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contact the District’s office at (801)
968-9081.
ADDITIONAL EXPLANATIONS
While your drinking water meets EPA's standard for arsenic, it does contain low levels of arsenic. EPA's standard balances
the current understanding of arsenic's possible health effects against the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water.
EPA continues to research the health effects of low levels of arsenic which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans
at high concentrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory problems.
FLUORIDATION
In accordance with the Salt Lake Valley Health Department, Taylorsville-Bennion Improvement District has been adding
fluoride to your drinking water since October 1, 2003. The amount added by the District combines with the naturally
occurring fluoride in your water to provide a concentration level of approximately 0.7 mg/l at your tap.
LEAD IN HOME PLUMBING
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. Taylorsville-Bennion Improvement District 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 [phone] or at www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
R u r al Water

s
sociation o f Utah
All sources of drinking water are subject to
potential contamination by constituents that are
naturally occurring or are manmade. Those con-
stituents 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 contami-
nants 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.
The Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) are
set at very stringent levels. To understand the
possible health effects described for many regu-
lated constituents, a person would have to drink
two 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 con-
taminants in drinking water than the general
population. Immuno-compromised persons
such as persons with cancer undergoing che-
motherapy, 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 about drinking
water from their health care providers.
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).
Cryptosporidium is a microbial parasite which is
found in surface water. Because Taylorsville
Bennion Improvement District only uses ground
water, we do not sample for cryptosoridium, but
the wholesale surface water from Jordan Valley
Water Conservancy District (JVWCD) has been
tested for its presence. JVWCD has reported to
the District that they have not found any crypto-
sporidium in their water.
DISTRICT INFORMATION

IMPORTANT HEALTH INFORMATION
WHERE DOES YOUR WATER COME FROM?
The majority of the District's water supply
is pumped from wells that draw from the
Salt Lake Valley Principal Aquifer. Addi-
tional water supplies are purchased from
Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District
(JVWCD). Water received from the
JVWCD is treated surface water primarily
from the Deer Creek and Jordanelle Res-
ervoirs.
