Dear Shareholder,

Welcome to Winchester Hills. The Directors of the Winchester Hills Water Company would like
to take this opportunity to acquaint you with the WHWC. Please become familiar with the
enclosed information and information on the web site above regarding water usage, cross
connection control and backflow prevention. Your water meter and meter valve is the property of
the WHWC, turning the meter valve to shut it off or turn it on should only be done by the
company. Please call to schedule with us if you need your water shut off or turned on. Company
policy states that anyone who breaks a water company meter or meter valve by running over it,
or trying to shut off the valve or turn it on, or causes damage to the meter or meter valve in any
other manner, will be held responsible and assessed the cost of the repairs.

As a Winchester Hills lot owner, you hold one share of stock in the Winchester Hills Water
Company and are thereby a part owner. This share of stock entitles you to one vote at the annual
meeting held each year on the 3rd Thursday of March. It also entitles you to use 1.12 acre-feet
(365,000 gallons) of underground water right annually. That water right is owned by the
WHWC, but the water, which is 800 feet underground, is owned by the State of Utah, and
through the Division of Water Rights they regulate its use. 365,000 gallons of water annually is
not a large amount of water. Therefore, use of water outside of the home will have to be limited.
The Division of Water Rights maintains that 6 acre-feet of water is needed to irrigate one acre of
land in our area, and we only have 1.12 acre-feet of water per lot for all our water needs.

Enclosed is a rate schedule of fees charged to shareholders in the Winchester Hills Subdivision.
Before becoming effective, all fees were approved by the shareholders at a previous annual
meeting, and by the State of Utah Public Service Commission. These fees are not only needed
for the purchase of power to pump water, but to pay for maintaining the wells, pumps, water
system, and for office expenditure, water testing and other related costs of making water
available for the shareholders.

The WHWC Board of Directors has seven members who donate their time to carry out company
policy and supervision. It also has a water manager to help conduct operations and administer
day-to-day company business. The Board of Directors are governed by the Articles of
Incorporation, the By-laws, the Public Service Commission, the Division of Water Rights, and
other Federal and State Agencies; and cannot change approved rules or policy except by
obtaining a vote of the shareholders and approval from the appropriate administrating
government agency.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us. Also, please visit our web site at
winchesterhills.com to reference important information for all shareholders.

Sincerely,

Winchester Hills Water Company

Dear Shareholders of Winchester Hills Water Company,

It has been another good year for the Winchester Hills Water Company. I would like to express
my appreciation to the board of trustees, and the water company manager for the hard work and
time they spend for the residents of Winchester Hills.

In accordance with the Winchester Hills Water Company bylaws, the annual shareholders
meeting will be held March 20th, 2025 at 7:30 pm at the Winchester Hills Fire Station. This year
Chad Shepard, Ferris Emery, and Milt Thompson have come to the end of their terms as board
members. All three have chosen to run again. We welcome anyone who wishes to run for a seat
on the board. Please contact Tony Montella, the chairman of the nominating committee, at (435)
680-0980 to be placed on the ballot.

Along with other important information, this packet also includes a proxy statement and ballot
showing the community members who are running for the board of directors. There is a place on
the ballot for write-in candidates. You may sign a proxy statement and complete the ballot; in
this case your vote will be counted as an absentee ballot. Prior to the shareholders meeting, you
also have the option to sign a proxy statement and to assign your voting right to a fellow
shareholder who will be attending the meeting and casting your vote on your behalf.

Please take note of the enclosed document regarding the “Cross Connection Control Policy” to
understand the guidelines and requirements of Backflow Prevention. All shareholders are
required to have backflow prevention devices or assemblies on all outside irrigation systems,
have them tested at least annually by a certified backflow prevention technician, and provide the
water company with a copy of the test results. Contact us if you have any questions regarding
this important Utah State Division of Drinking Water requirement.

We would like to invite all who can make it, to come to the meeting and participate in the
governing of the water company.

For more important company information including policies, the 2024 Consumer Confidence
Report showing water testing results, and a PayPal option to pay your water bill online, we
encourage you to visit the company website at www.winchesterhills.com.

Sincerely,

Allen Davis
President of the Winchester Hills Water Board
