need to bussing transportation of Iona residents.
The Council agreed to put a survey in July's newsletter.

Annual Drinking Water Quality Report for 2011. Mayor Andersen and Director Prouse said

1
The Mayor said that when the ground water rule goes into effect DEQ would use E.coli as the
contamination indicator instead of total coliform because total coliform bacteria did not indicate
if the water was good or bad.

until the church gave its program on Saturday night. The City would sponsor a movie in the park

Annual Drinking Water Quality Report For - 2011
City of Iona
PWS #7100041
As your back-up licensed drinking water operator and mayor am pleased to present to you this year's Annual Quality
Water Report. This report is designed to inform you about the quality 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 improveand protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of
your water. Our water source is (i.e., groundwater, well) from the East Snake River Plain Aquifer.
I am pleased to report that your drinking water is safe and meets federal and state requirements. A source water
assessment was completed for your water system. Your system received a rating of Moderate" because of past
historical data and where your water source is located (i.e., agriculture area). If you would like a copy of this report you
can contact the Division of Environmental Quality (DEQ) or the City of Iona If you have any questions about this report
or concerning your water utility, please contact me at 521-6970. We want our valued customers to be informed about
their water utility. Please contactthe City ofIona of the next scheduledcity councilmeeting.
City of Iona routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. This table
shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January f to December 31 st, 2011. As water travels over the land
or underground it can pick up substances or contaminants such as microbes, inorganic and organic chemicals, and
radioactive substances. All drinking water, including bottled drinking water, may be reasonably expected to ontain at
least small amounts of some contaminants. Its important to remember that the presence of these contaminants does not
necessarily pose a health risk.
In this table you will find many terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar with. To lip you better understand
these terms we've provided the following definitions:
Non -Detects (ND) - laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present.
Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/1) - 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 - one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a
single penny in $10,000,000.
Pico curies per liter (pCi/L) - Pico curies per liter are a measure of the radioactivity in water.
Millirems per year (mrem/yr) - measure of radiation absorbed by the body.
Action Level - the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a
water system must follow.
Treatment Technique (TT) - (mandatory language) A treatment technique is a required process intended to reduce the
level of a contaminant in drinking water.
Maximum Contaminant Level - (mandatory language) The "Maximum Allowed" (MCL) is the highet 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 - (mandatory language) The "Goa/' (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.

As you can see by the table, our system hadno violations. We're proud that your drinking water meets or exceeds all
Federal and State requirements. We have learned through our monitoring and testing that some constituents have been
detected. The EPA has determined that your water IS SAFE at these levels.
All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination by substances that are naturally occurring or man
made. These substances can be microbes, inorganic or organicchemicals and radioactive substances. 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 healthisk. 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.
MCL's are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible heal 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 onai-a-
million chance of having the described health effect.
*Total Coliform: The Total Coliform Rulerequires water systems to meet a strict limit for Coliform bacteria. Coliform
bacteria are usually harmless, but their presence in water can be an indication of diseasecausing bacteria. When
Coliform bacteria are found, special followup tests are done to determine if harmful bacteria are present in the water
supply. October, total Coliform bacteria was detected at the Iona Elementary School. After doing an
investigation is was determined the cause was because of the semi-annual flushing of the water mains that never
completely got flushed out. After re -flushing the water the water main and all piping in the school and
disinfecting of the water system; re -sampling showed no total Coliform or E. coli bacteria. There has been no
detection of total Coliform and E. coli bacteria since October 2011. If this limit is exceeded, the water supplier must
notify the public by newspaper, television or radioof which the City did.
Nitrates: As a precaution we always notify physicians and health care providers in thisarea if there is ever a higher than
normal level of nitrates in the water supply.
Lead: Lead in drinking water is rarely the sole cause of lead poisoning, but it can add to a persoix total lead exposure.
All potential sources of lead in the household hould be identified and removed, replaced or reduced.
In our continuing efforts to maintain a safe and dependable water supply it may be necessary to make improvements in
your water system. The costs of these improvements may be reflected in the rate struhrre. Rate adjustments may be
necessary in order to address these improvements.
Thank you for allowing us to continue providing your family with clean, quality water this year. In order to maintain a
safe and dependable water supply we sometimes need to mke improvements that will benefit all of our customers.
These improvements are sometimes reflected as rate structure adjustments. Thank you for understanding.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general populationlmmuno-
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 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 WaterHotline (800-426-4791).
Please call our City ofIona Office if you have questions.
City of Iona works around the clock to provide top quality water to every tap; `said Public Works Supervisor Zech
Prouse." We ask that all our customers help us protectour water sources, which are the heart of our community, our
way of life and our children's future. Please call Zech Prouse @ 523-5600 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Brad D. Andersen, Mayor
