Annual Drinking Water Quality Report
(Mona Town Water System UT12002)
The (Mona Town Water System UT12002) is pleased to present to you, our customer, with the most current 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. If you have any questions about
this report or concerning your water utility, please contact(Garrett Kearley at [phone]).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 second and fourth Tuesday of every month). 
The (Mona Town Water System UT12002) provides its consumers with (Ground) water. Our water sources are (1 well and 1 spring). These sources are listed as (Mona Town Water System UT12002
Ground Water). 
(B) For systems without state or EPA designated Optimal Corrosion Control Treatment:
Corrosion of pipes, plumbing fittings and fixtures may cause metals, including lead and copper, to enter drinking water. To assess corrosion of lead and copper, [Mona Town Water System
UT12002] conducts tap sampling for lead and copper at selected sites [Pull 10 Samples every 3 Years].
Lead Service Line Inventory Information (Recommended)
Use this for systems that have completed lead line inventory and have no lead lines
The Water System 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 calling Mona City Office at [phone]. 
The Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for (Mona Town Water System UT12002) 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 sources such as
(Our sources are in remote and protected areas and have a low level of susceptibility to potential contamination 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.  
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.
(Mona Town Water System UT12002)routinely monitors contaminants in our drinking water in accordance with the Federal and Utah State laws. The following table shows the results of our
monitoring for (2024).It is important to remember that all water sources of drinking water contain some naturally occurring contaminants. At low levels, these substances are generally
not harmful in our drinking water. Removing all contaminants would be extremely expensive, and in most cases, would not provide increased protection of public health. 
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 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.

Why are there contaminants in my drinking water?
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least a small amount of some contaminates. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate
that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminates and the potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental protection Agency’s (EPA) Safe Drinking
Water Hotline at (800-426-4791). The sources of drinking water (both tap and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface
of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals
or from human activity: microbial contaminates, such as viruses and bacteria, that may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife;
inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial, or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas

production, mining, or farming; pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agricultural, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses; organic chemical
contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater
runoff, and septic systems; and radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap
water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations
establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.
If present, lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. (Mona Town Water System UT12002) has conducted (10) lead samples during (2024).
Sampling results can be obtained by calling ([phone]) or emailing ([e-mail]). You can also view the results online at https://www.monautah.gov/uploads/4/7/7/3/47738287/drinking_water_quality_report_2024.pdf

(Mona Town Water System UT12002) is responsible for providing high quality drinking water but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. Lead in drinking water
is primarily from material and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. You share the responsibility for protecting yourself and your family from the lead in your
home plumbing. You can take responsibility by identifying and removing lead materials within your home plumbing and taking steps to reduce your family's risk. If 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. You can also
use a filter certified by an American National Standards Institute accredited certifier to reduce lead in drinking water. 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. If you are concerned about lead
in your water, you may wish to have your water tested.Please contact (Mona Town Water System UT12002 and Garrett Kearley at(385)208-6049). Information on lead in drinking water, testing
methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available athttp://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised people such as people with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, people
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 (Mona Town Water System UT12002) 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.
Turbidity. Turbidity has no health effects. However, turbidity can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth. Turbidity may indicate the presence of disease-causing
organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches.We have reviewed why we failed
to take our turbidity samples and have taken steps to ensure that it will not happen again.
Copper. Copper is an essential nutrient, but some people who drink water containing copper in excess of the action level over a relatively short amount of time could experience gastrointestinal
distress. Some people who drink water containing copper in excess of the action level over many years could suffer liver or kidney damage.  People with Wilson's disease should consult
their personal doctor.
Lead. Infants and children who drink water containing lead in excess of the action level could experience delays in their physical or mental development. Children could show slight deficits
in attention span and learning abilities. Adults who drink this water over many years could develop kidney problems or high blood pressure.
Nitrite. Infants below the age of six months who drink water containing nitrite in excess of the MCL could become seriously ill and, if untreated, may die. Symptoms include shortness
of breath and blue-baby syndrome. 
Selenium. Selenium is an essential nutrient. However, some people who drink water containing selenium in excess of the MCL over many years could experience hair or fingernail losses,
numbness in fingers or toes, or problems with their circulation.
Sodium. Sodium is an essential nutrient. However, some people who drink water containing sodium in excess of the MCL may experience health problems. 
Sulfate. High levels of sulfates in the drinking water may cause some people to have stomach problems.
Thallium. Some people who drink water containing thallium in excess of the MCL over many years could experience hair loss, changes in their blood, or problems with their kidneys, intestines,
or liver.
TDS (Total Dissolved Solids). TDS is an aesthetic water quality problem; however high levels may cause some people to experience health problems.
