2024 Consumer Confidence Report
2024 Annual Drinking Water Quality Report
Enoch City

The Enoch City is pleased to present 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 contact Hayden White 435-
463-2065. 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 on the Second Thursday of
every month.

The Enoch City provides its consumers with ground water. Our water sources include Homestead well,
Anderson well, Ravine Road well, Iron works well, UTAH11085 Central iron co wcd, Tank well, Norm
Grimshaw well.
Corrosion of pipes, plumbing fittings and fixtures may cause metals, including lead and copper, to enter
drinking water. To assess corrosion of lead and copper, Enoch City conducts tap sampling for lead and
copper at selected sites 20 sites ever 3 years.
Enoch City 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-engineering-lead-
service-inventory-enochcity.hub.arcgis.com/
The Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for Enoch City 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. 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.

Water samples taken in April, June and July 2024 confirmed the presence of total coliform bacteria.
Coliforms are bacteria that are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that
other, potentially harmful, bacteria may be present. Total coliforms are common in the environment and
are generally not harmful themselves. The presence of these bacteria can indicate that the water may
have been contaminated with organisms that can cause disease. Some symptoms may include diarrhea,
cramps, nausea, and possible jaundice, 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.

We constantly monitor various constituents in the water supply to meet all regulatory requirements.
In November 2024 we failed to perform all the required tests for coliform bacteria. Water quality may
change without any visible indication due to unanticipated environmental factors. For this reason, we are
required to sample coliform bacteria monthly. This violation does not necessarily pose a health risk. We

2024 Consumer Confidence Report
have reviewed why we failed to take our routine coliform bacteria tests and have taken steps to ensure
that it will not happen again.

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.

Enoch City routinely 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.

2024 Consumer Confidence Report

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 contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a
health risk. More information about contaminants 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. 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.
Enoch City has conducted 20 lead samples during 3 year period. Sampling results can be obtained by
calling [phone] or emailing [e-mail].

Enoch City 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 Enoch City [phone] Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you
can take to minimize exposure is available at http://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 Enoch City 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.
