Holiday Hills
Annual Drinking Water Quality Report
2024
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 water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water. Our water
source has been determined to be from groundwater sources. Our water source is the City of
Springville which is treated groundwater.
The Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for Holiday Hills 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. 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.
I'm pleased to report that our drinking water meets federal and state requirements.
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 Krista
Hiatt - (719) 684-5305. 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 first weekend of November.

Holiday Hills routinely monitors for contaminants in our drinking water in accordance with the
Federal and Utah State laws. The following table shows the results of our monitoring for the period
of January 1st to December 31st, 2024. All drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may
be reasonably expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. It's important
to remember that the presence of these contaminants 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 contaminants
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.
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.
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.

Inorganic Chemical Monitoring (Code 03) (CIOC)
We periodically monitor for inorganic chemical contaminants in the water supply to meet all
regulatory requirements. for inorganic chemicals is used to ensure that the public is provided with
safe drinking water.
Nitrate Chemical Monitoring (Code 03) (1040)
We periodically monitor for nitrate in the water supply to meet all regulatory requirements.
Testing for nitrate is used to ensure that the public is provided with safe drinking water.
Nitrite Chemical Monitoring (Code 03) (Nitrite)
We periodically monitor for nitrite in the water supply to meet all regulatory requirements. Testing
for nitrite is used to ensure that the public is provided with safe drinking water.
Lead/Copper Chemical Monitoring (Code 03) (PBCU) & (Code 51 or 52)
We periodically monitor for lead and copper in the water supply to meet all monitoring
requirements. Testing for lead and copper is used to ensure that the public is provided with safe
5
drinking water.
All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination by contaminants that are
naturally occurring or manmade. Those contaminants 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 contaminants, 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.
Total Coliform: The Total Coliform Rule requires water systems to meet a stricter limit for
coliform bacteria. Coliform bacteria are usually harmless, but their presence in water can be an
indication of disease-causing bacteria. When coliform bacteria are found, special follow-up tests
are done to determine if harmful bacteria are present in the water supply. If this limit is exceeded,
the water supplier must notify the public by newspaper, television or radio. To comply with the
stricter regulation, we have increased the average amount of chlorine in the distribution system.
Nitrates: 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.
Lead: 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.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general
population. Immunocompromised 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 (800-426-
4791).
We at Holiday Hills 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.
