TABLE DEFINITIONS
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
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
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.
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seem outdated.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.
WATER QUALITY
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 protect our water resources. We
are committed to ensuring the quality of your water. Our
water sources have been determined to be from
groundwater sources. Our water sources are Well No.1,
No. 4, No. 3A, Well No. 8, Well No.9, Well No. 10 and
Well No. 5A. This report shows our water quality and
what it means to you, our customer.
White City Water Improvement District (WCWID)
routinely monitors 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, 2021. All
drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be
reasonably expected to contain at least some small
amounts of constituents. It’s important to remember that
the presence of these constituents does not necessarily
pose a health risk.
SOURCE PROTECTION PLAN
The Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for White City
WID 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 from 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
Cross Connection
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.

White City Water Improvement District routinely Monitors for constituents in our drinking water in accordance with the
Federal and Utah State laws. The following table shows the results of 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 constituents. It’s important to remember that the presence of these constituents does not
necessarily pose a health risk.

LEAD AND COPPER RULE
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. The White City WID 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.
DRINKING WATER HEALTH CONCERNS
All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination by constituents that are naturally occurring or manmade. 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.
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 [phone]).
YOUR DRINKING WATER
Water samples taken in 2024 confirmed the presence of total coliform bacteria. Total coliforms are common in the environment and are generally not harmful themselves. The presence of these bacteria is usually a result of
a problem with water treatment or the pipes which distribute the water and indicates that the water may have been contaminated with organisms that
can cause disease. Symptoms may include diarrhea, cramps, nausea, and possible jaundice, and any associated 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.
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. We at the White City WID work around the clock to provide top quality water to every tap. We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources.
