DRINKING WATER
CONSUMER CONFIDENCE REPORT
2024
We’re pleased to present you this year’s Annual Water Quality
Report. This report is designed to inform you about our excellent
water quality and services we have delivered to you over the past
year. We are committed to providing you with reliable and
accurate information so that you can be an informed customer. If
you have any questions about this report or your water utility,
please contact the West Haven Special Service District (WHSSD) at (801)731-4519. If you want
to learn more, please attend any of our regularly scheduled meetings. They are held on the 3rd
Monday, 6:30 PM West Haven City Hall, 4150 S 3900 W.
We’re pleased to report that our drinking water meets federal and state requirements. This report
discloses our water quality and what it means to you, our customer.
WHSSD routinely monitors for constituents 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.
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.
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.
Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) - a measure of the radioactivity in
water.
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 required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.
Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) - the “maximum
allowed” 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” 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.

All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination by constituents that are naturally
occurring or are man-made. Those constituents 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 constituents, 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.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.
Immuno-compromised person, 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 microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking
Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.
West Haven Special Service District 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://waterlink.utah.gov/reports.html?systemId=1848
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young
children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home
plumbing. WHSSD is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of
materials used in plumbing components. When 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. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead
in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the safe Drinking
Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
Monitoring Requirements Not Met for West Haven Special Service District
Our water system violated one drinking water standards over the past year. Even though this
was not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what happened and what we
did to correct this situafion.
We are required to monitor your 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. During compliance period June 1st to September 30th 2023, we did not
complete all monitoring or tesfing for Lead and Copper and therefore cannot be sure of the
quality of our drinking water during that fime.
What should I do?
There is nothing you need to do at this fime.
The table below lists the contaminants 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, how many samples we took, when samples should have been taken, and the
date on which follow-up samples were taken.
Contaminant Number Required How Often Missed Sample
Lead and Copper 10 samples Every 3 yr. 06/01/2023 to 09/30/2023
What happened? What is being done?
Changes in the new Lead and Copper Rule lead us to believe we did not need to sample for this
that year; however, we were wrong in this assumpfion, and have taken the correcfive steps to
rafify this error.
Samples were taken 08/07/2024
All results came back as: Passed
