Please contact any of the persons listed below if you have any questions or problems with your drinking water. 1.0 Casey Acres Water System Information Casey Acres Water Company - Current Board Members: Brad McQueen (President) (801) 898-1736 Jim Richardson (801) 856-0017 Water Operator: Steven Benjamin (801)-791-7667 Annual Meetings are scheduled each spring to elect new Board Members, present current issues, and vote on items that affect company business and water fees. All residents are notified at least two weeks prior. The next meeting is scheduled for March 10, 2022. 2.0 Casev Acres Water System Source Water Source: Casey Acres' water source is a groundwater well located behind the home at 7229 East 1000 North (1000 feet south and 900 feet east from the northwest comer of Section 7, Township 6 North, Range 2 East SLBM). The completed well is 130 feet deep with a diameter of 8 inches. The surface seal extends to a depth of 100 feet. The casing is perforated from 105 to 125 feet in depth. Susceptibility to Contamination: Groundwater traveling toward Casey Acres' source well is susceptible to contamination from sources that are up gradient (northeast) of the well. These sources include other wells, septic tanks, a cattle feedlot, a private farm maintenance garage, agricultural land, and residential chemical use. More detailed information is contained in the Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) Plan for Casey Acres. The Plan contains a delineation of DWSP zones, a prioritized inventory of potential contamination sources, management strategies to protect the drinking water source, and a contingency plan for emergencies. Residents may borrow the Plan from a Board Member for review. 3.0 Definitions Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): 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. 2 Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. mg/l: milligrams/liter. ug/l: micrograms/liter 4.0 Casey Acres Detected Contaminants Monthly Bacteriological monitoring demonstrated No (zero) Total Coliform Positive during 2020. All Sample results were Total Coliform absent. No interventions were needed.

In no case shall water having a level above 1000 ppm be used.

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 confirmed the presence of total coliform bacteria we took steps to identify and correct the problem. Subsequent monthly sampling has confirmed the absence of total coliforms in the water system. 5.3 2015 Results Satisfactory results for Monthly Bacteriological and Total Nitrate plus Nitrite. 4 Lead and Copper sample analyses for samples collected between Sept. 15 and Sept. 16, 2015 indicated that levels are below the MCLs. Lead levels at the five homes ranged from below the detection limit to 0.0027 mg/L. Copper levels ranged from 0.0188 to 0.386 mg/L. 6.0 Health Information 6.1 Contaminants in Drinking Water 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 EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). 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 (1- 800426-4791). 6.2 Sources of Drinking Water The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include 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 pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. 6.3 Contaminants That May Be Present in Source Water Microbial Contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. Inorganic Contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial, or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. Pesticides and Herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. 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 stormwater runoff, and septic systems. Radioactive Contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. 5 6.4 EPA and FDA Regulations In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the U.S. EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water that must provide the same protection for public health. 6.5 Vulnerability of Some Populations to Contaminants in Drinking Water 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/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (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 (800-426-4791). 7.0 Violations of National Primary Drinking Water Regulations Analytical results for routine water samples taken during 2019 from the Casey Acres drinking water system showed no violations of National Primary Drinking Water Regulations.
