Annual Drinking Water Quality ReportWillard City2024We 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 sources have been
determined to be from groundwater sources. Our water sources Upper Spring and 2003 North Well (grouped together) and 1995 Well.Violations for Monitoring requirements:
Missed Total Coliform Samples:We constantly monitor various constituents in the water supply to meet all regulatory requirements. In July 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 have reviewed why we failed to take our routine coliform bacteria tests and have taken steps to ensure that it will
not happen again.Disinfection By-Products Monitoring:We periodically monitor Disinfection By-Products in the distribution system to meet all regulatory requirements. In the second quarter
of 2024 we failed to take the required samples. Testing for a Chlorine Residual is used to ensure that the public is provided with safe drinking water. This violation does not necessarily
pose a health risk.We have reviewed why we failed to take the required samples and will take steps to ensure that it will not happen again.The Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for
Willard 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 from sources such as wildlife.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.If you have any questions about this report concerning your water utility, please contactPayden
Vine (Public Works Director) @ 435-775-1002. 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 2nd and 4th Thursday each month at 6:30 pm at 80 West 50 South, Willard.Willard City Public Worksroutinely 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. Drinking water, including
bottled drinking water, may be 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: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.Million
Fibers per Liter (MFL) - million fibers per liter is a measure of the presence of asbestos fibers that are longer than 10 micrometers.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.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.

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. Willard City is responsible for providing high quality drinking water butcannot 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.Lead Service Line Inventory Information:
Willard 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 by contacting Payden Vine at 435-775-1002.All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination by constituents
that are naturally occurring or 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.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. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised
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]). We at Willard 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.
