Annual Drinking Water Quality ReportDaniel Municipal Water 260052020We are 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 from 2 springs and a wellThe Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for Daniel Municipal 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 a lowlevel of susceptibility from potential contamination from sources such as septic tanks, roads, residential areas, etc. 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 within our water system. However,
unapproved connections and improper plumbing changes can adversely affect the quality of your water. A cross connection can allow polluted water, fertilizer, or other chemicals to contaminate
the water supply system when not properly protected. Not only can this affect your health, but it can also damage plumbing and appliances within your property. So, what can you do? Install
backflow preventers at all cross connections within the property.What does a cross connection look like? The most common cross connection is a landscape irrigation system. Mud, fertilizer,
and waterborne pathogens can be siphoned backwards into the drinking water if the irrigation system has no backflow preventer. An unprotected garden hose connected to a fertilizer sprayer,
or submerged in a pool or puddle, are also considered cross connections. When a cross connection is unprotected at your home, it will affect your family or employees first. If you would
like to learn more about preventing backflow at your property, call us for more information. 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 you, our customer. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contactShelly Bunker at 435-503-1901.We
want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. If you want to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. They are held onthe first Monday
of each month at 6 PM at 55 South 500 East in Heber City.DaDaniel Municipal Water 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, 2020.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 outdated.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.

Microbiological Contaminants:
Total Coliform. Coliforms are bacteria that are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other, potentially-harmful, bacteria may be present. Coliforms
were found in more samples than allowed and this was a warning of potential problems.
Fecal coliform/E.Coli. Fecal coliforms and E. coli are bacteria whose presence indicates that the water may be contaminated with human or animal wastes. Microbes in these wastes can
cause short-term effects, such as diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms. They may pose a special health risk for infants, young children, and people with severely compromised
immune systems.
Turbidity. Turbidity has no health effects. However, turbidity can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth. Turbidity may indicate the presence of disease-causing
organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches.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. Daniel Municipal 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. Non-Acute (Code 22)Water samples taken inMay and October2020 confirmed the presence of total coliform bacteria.Total coliforms are common in the environment
and are generally not harmful themselves.The presence of these bacteria is usually a result of a problem with water treatment or the pipes which distribute the water, and indicates that
the water may have been contaminated with organisms that can cause disease.Symptoms may include diarrhea, cramps, nausea, and possible jaundice, and any associated headaches and fatigue.When
the monthly samples confirmedthepresence of total coliform bacteria we took steps to identify and correct the problem. We determined that it was a sampling error. Subsequent monthly
sampling has confirmed the absence of total coliforms in the water system.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.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. To comply with the stricter regulation, we have
increased the average amount of chlorine in the distribution system.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 Daniel Municipal 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.
