FillmoreCity 2024
We'repleasedto present toyou thisyear'sAnnual DrinkingWater QualityReport. Thisreport isdesignedtoinformyou aboutthequalityofthewaterandserviceswedelivertoyoueveryday. Ourconstantgoalistoprovideyouwithasafeanddependablesupplyofdrinkingwater.Wewant
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 sourceshavebeendeterminedtobefromgroundwatersources.OurwatersourcesareWaterCress Spring and Fillmore Airport Wells 2 & 3.
TheDrinkingWaterSourceProtectionPlanfor FillmoreCityis availableforyourreview.It contains information about source protection zones, potential contamination sources and managementstrategiestoprotectourdrinkingwater.Oursourceshavebeendeterminedtohave
alowlevelofsusceptibilityfrompotentialcontamination.Wehave alsodevelopedmanagement strategies to further protect our sources from contamination.Please contact us if you have questions
or concerns about our source protection plan.
Therearemanyconnectionstoourwaterdistributionsystem.When connectionsareproperly 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 ofthewater.A cross connectionmayletpollutedwaterorevenchemicals mingleinto thewater 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.

Lead Service Line Inventory
Fillmore 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 at:
State Hub Website: https://ddwlead-hub.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashboards/690020443e57445783a050c410affd78

Fillmore City routinely monitors for constituents in our drinking water in accordance with theFederalandUtahStatelaws.Thefollowing tableshowstheresultsofourmonitoringfor 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 importanttorememberthatthepresenceoftheseconstituentsdoesnotnecessarilyposeahealth

ND/Low - High - For water systems that have multiple sources of water, the Utah Division of DrinkingWaterhasgivenwatersystemstheoptionoflistingthetestresultsoftheconstituentsin 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.

of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.
Date-Becauseofrequiredsamplingtimeframesi.e. yearly,3years,4yearsand6years, sampling dates may seem out-dated.
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 certainchemicalsamples,thesewaiversarealsotied

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. Fillmore City isresponsible for providing high quality drinking water and removing lead pipes, but cannot control the variety of materials
used in plumbing components in your home. 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. Before drinking tap water, flush your pipes for several minutes by running your tap,
taking a shower, doing laundry or a load of dishes. You can also use a filter certified by an American National Standards Institute accredited certifier to reduce lead in drinking water.
If you are concerned about lead in your water and wish to have your water tested, contact Fillmore City (435-743-5233). Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps
you can take to minimize exposure is available at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
As you can see by the table, our system had no violations. We’re proud that your drinking water meets or exceeds all Federal and State requirements. We have learned through our monitoring
andtestingthatsomeconstituentshavebeendetected.TheEPAhasdeterminedthat your water IS SAFE at these levels.
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,orradioactivematerials.Alldrinkingwater,includingbottledwater,mayreasonably 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,personswhohaveundergoneorgantransplants,peoplewithHIV/AIDSorother
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.
