HomeMy WebLinkAboutDDW-2024-014864IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT OUR DRINKING WATER SYSTEM Monitoring Requirements Not Met for Utah Greenhouse Company Our water system violated several drinking water standards over the past year. Even though these were not emergencies, as our employees, you have a right to know what happened and what we did to correct the situations. We are required to monitor the drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health standards. In 2024, we did not complete all testing for contaminants and therefore cannot be sure of the quality of our drinking water during that time. What should I do? There is nothing you need to do at this time. The table below list the contaminant(s) we did not properly test for during the last year, how often we are supposed to sample for these contaminants and how many samples we are supposed to take, home many samples we took, when samples should have been taken, and the dates on which follow-up samples were or will be taken. Contaminant Required sampling frequency Number of samples taken When were samples missed When were samples taken or will be taken Bacteriological Monthly 10 out of 12 September and October 2024 Samples sent in November and December Lead Copper 3 years 0 out of 5 06/01/2024 – 9/30/2024 Samples will be taken between 06/01/2025 – 9/30/2025 as required by the State of Utah. What happened? What is being done? Due to turnover in staff at the farm these samples were simply missed during this required timeframe. Multiple individuals at the farm are now trained to take and track these samples so this issue will not occur again. When we were notified of the issue, we immediately contacted the State of Utah and the lab we use to run the testing and re-started the bacterial testing in November. Due to the timing on the Lead and copper testing that must be done between June and September 30th we will ensure these tests are completed in 2025 during the next approved sampling window.
