Annual Drinking Water Quality ReportBeaver City 2024The Beaver City Corpis pleased to present to you, our customer, with the most current 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.
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water utility, please contactBret Black [phone].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 at 5:00pm on the second Monday of each month at the city offices. (300N 30W). The Beaver
City Corp provides its consumers with groundwater. Our water sources are 3 wells and 15 springs.Corrosion of pipes, plumbing fittings and fixtures may cause lead and copper to enter
drinking water. To assess corrosion of lead and copper, Beaver City Corp conducts tap sampling for lead and copper at selected sites every 3 years
Beaver City Corp has completed an initial lead service line inventory. This inventory includes information on the service line material that connects water mains to buildings/houses.
These inventory reports are publicly available and can be accessed at
https://sunrise-eng.maps.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html?webmap=770b6025a07f4337832a0d397c0d0d1The Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for Beaver City Corp 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 sources such as 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 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.Beaver City Corproutinely monitors contaminants in our drinking water in accordance with
the Federal and Utah State laws. The following table shows the results of our monitoring for 2024.It is important to remember that all water sources of drinking water contain some naturally
occurring contaminants. At low levels, these substances are generally not harmful in our drinking water. Removing all contaminants would be extremely expensive, and in most cases, would
not provide increased protection of public health. 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.

Why are there contaminants in my drinking water?
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least a small amount of some contaminates. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate
that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminates and the potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental protection Agency’s (EPA) Safe Drinking
Water Hotline at (800-426-4791). The sources of drinking water (both tap and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, 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: microbial contaminates, such as viruses and bacteria, that 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 agricultural, 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; and radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap
water is safe to drink, 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 which must provide the same protection for public health.If present, lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant
women and young children. Beaver City Corp has conducted several lead samples during 2024 Sampling results can be obtained by calling 4353100544 or emailing [e-mail].
Beaver City Corp is responsible for providing high quality drinking water but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. Lead in drinking water is primarily
from material and components associated with service lines and home plumbing.You share the responsibility for protecting yourself and your family from the lead in your home plumbing.
You can take responsibility by identifying and removing lead materials within your home plumbing and taking steps to reduce your family's risk. If 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. You can also use a filter certified
by an American National Standards Institute accredited certifier to reduce lead in drinking water. Lead in drinking water is rarely the sole cause of lead poisoning, but it can add to
a person's total lead exposure. All potential sources of lead in the household should be identified and removed, replaced or reduced. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you
may wish to have your water tested.Please contact Beaver City Corpat 435-438-2451 or email at [e-mail]. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps
you can take to minimize exposure is available athttp://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised
people such as people with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, people 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 Beaver City Corp 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.
