Annual Drinking Water Quality Report
Central Culinary Water Company 2020
We 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 waterresources.Wearecommittedtoensuringthequalityofyourwater.Ourwatersourceshavebeen determined to be from groundwater sources. Our water source is Nervine Spring
and Well source WS002.
The Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for Central Culinary Water Company 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 low 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 protectionplan.
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.
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 contact TomEsplin a 435-327-2667. 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 generallyheld

Central Culinary Water Company 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 theperiodof January 1sttoDecember 31st, 2020. Alldrinkingwater, includingbottled 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.
Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) - picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water. 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 reducethe level of a contaminant in drinkingwater.
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 feasibleusing
the best available treatmenttechnology.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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. Central Culinary 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 [phone] orat 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. 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 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 Central Culinary Water Company 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.
