Annual Drinking Water Quality ReportRuby’s Inn - 2024We're 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 comes from three
wells that provide groundwater.The Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for Ruby’s Inn 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 a low susceptibility to potential contamination. 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 we 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 across connection. When the cross connectionis allowed to exist at your homeit 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.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 Fred Syrett at 435-834-5341.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 being held as needed at Ruby’s Inn upstairs office.If you have any questions about this report
or concerning your water utility, please contactBrett Chynoweth at [phone].We want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility. If you want to learn more, please
contact system management.Ruby’s Innroutinely 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 from 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. 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: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. 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.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.

Erosion of natural depositsIf 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. Ruby’s Inn 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.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. 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 people such as people 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 [phone]).
We at Ruby’s Inn 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.
