Este informe contiene informacion muy importante sobre la calidad de su agua beber. Traduscalo
o liable con alguien que to entienda bien.
Is my water safe?
We are pleased to present this year's Annual Water Quality Report (Consumer Confidence
Report) as required by the Safe Drinking Water Act(SDWA). This report is designed to provide
details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to standards
set by regulatory agencies. This report is a snapshot of last year's water quality. We are
committed to providing you with information because informed customers are our best allies.
Last year, we conducted tests for over 80 contaminants. We only detected 8 of those
contaminants, and found only 1 at a level higher than the EPA allows. As we informed you at the
time, our water temporarily exceeded drinking water standards. (For more information see the
section labeled Violations at the end of the report.)
Do I need to take special precautions?
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 about drinking water from their health care providers.
EPA/Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of
infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe
Water Drinking Hotline [phone]). Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants

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/Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to
lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available
from the Safe Water Drinking Hotline [phone]).
Where does my water come from?

The water for the Picabo water system comes from a ground water source and is treated with
chlorine prior to going into the distribution system.
Source water assessment and its availability
The Picabo Water System source water assessment was completed in 2000 and updated in 2013
Why are there contaminants in my drinking water?
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
water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can
be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Safe Drinking Water
Hotline [phone]). 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 water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and
potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA)
Safe Drinking Water Hotline [phone]). The sources of drinking water(both tap water and
bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams,ponds, 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 contaminants, 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 agriculture, 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.
How can I get involved?

5150 [e-mail] or Kathi Peck(208)309-0425 [e-mail].
Water Conservation Tips
Did you know that the average U.S. household uses approximately 400 gallons of water per day
or 100 gallons per person per day? Luckily, there are many,low-cost and no-cost ways to
conserve water. Small changes can make a big difference - try one today and soon it will become
second nature.
• Take short showers - a 5 minute shower uses 4 to 5 gallons of water compared to up to 50
gallons for a bath.
• Shut off water while brushing your teeth, washing your hair and shaving and save up to
500 gallons a month.
• Use a water-efficient showerhead. They're inexpensive, easy to install, and can save you
up to 750 gallons a month.
• Run your clothes washer and dishwasher only when they are full. You can save up to
1,000 gallons a month.
• Water plants only when necessary.
• Fix leaky toilets and faucets. Faucet washers are inexpensive and take only a few minutes
to replace. To check your toilet for a leak, place a few drops of food coloring in the tank
and wait. If it seeps into the toilet bowl without flushing, you have a leak. Fixing it or
replacing it with a new, more efficient model can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.
• Adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered. Apply water only as fast as the soil can
absorb it and during the cooler parts of the day to reduce evaporation.
• Teach your kids about water conservation to ensure a future generation that uses water
wisely. Make it a family effort to reduce next month's water bill!
• Visit www.epa.gov/watersense for more information.
Cross Connection Control Survey
The purpose of this survey is to determine whether a cross-connection may exist at your home or
business.'A cross connection is an unprotected or improper connection to a public water
distribution system that may cause contamination or pollution to enter the system. We are
responsible for enforcing cross-connection control regulations and insuring that no contaminants
can,under any flow conditions, enter the distribution system. If you have any of the devices
listed below please contact us so that we can discuss the issue, and if needed, survey your
connection and assist you in isolating it if that is necessary.

• Boiler/Radiant heater(water heaters not included)
• Underground lawn sprinkler system
• Pool or hot tub (whirlpool tubs not included)
• Additional source(s) of water on the property
• Decorative pond
• Watering trough
Source Water Protection Tips
Protection of drinking water is everyone's responsibility. You can help protect your community's
drinking water source in several ways:
• Eliminate excess use of lawn and garden fertilizers and pesticides -they contain
hazardous chemicals that can reach your drinking water source.
• Pick up after your pets.
• If you have your own septic system,properly maintain your system to reduce leaching to
water sources or consider connecting to a public water system.
• Dispose of chemicals properly; take used motor oil to a recycling center.
• Volunteer in your community. Find a watershed or wellhead protection organization in
your community and volunteer to help. If there are no active groups, consider starting
one. Use EPA's Adopt Your Watershed to locate groups in your community, or visit the
Watershed Information Network's How to Start a Watershed Team.
• Organize a storm drain stenciling project with your local government or water supplier.
Stencil a message next to the street drain reminding people "Dump No Waste - Drains to
River" or "Protect Your Water." Produce and distribute a flyer for households to remind
residents that storm drains dump directly into your local water body.
Additional Information for Lead
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. Picabo Water System is responsible for
providing high quality drinking water, but cannot 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. If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health

Additional Information for Arsenic
While your drinking water meets EPA's standard for arsenic, it does contain low levels of
arsenic. EPA's standard balances the current understanding of arsenic's possible health effects
against the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water. EPA continues to research the health
effects of low levels of arsenic which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at high
concentrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory
problems.
Water Quality Data Table
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the
amount of contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The table below lists all of
the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the calendar year of this report.
Although many more contaminants were tested, only those substances listed below were found in
your water. All 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. A few naturally occurring minerals may actually improve the taste of
drinking water and have nutritional value at low levels. Unless otherwise noted, the data
presented in this table is from testing done in the calendar year of the report. The EPA or the
State requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the
concentrations of these contaminants do not vary significantly from year to year, or the system is
not considered vulnerable to this type of contamination. As such, some of our data, though
representative, may be more than one year old. In this table you will find terms and abbreviations
that might not be familiar to you. To help you better understand these terms,we have provided
the definitions below the table.

Important Drinking Water Definitions
Term Definition
MCLG MCLG: Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: 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.
MCL: Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in
MCL drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available
treatment technology.
TT TT:Treatment Technique:A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in
drinking water.
AL AL:Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which,if exceeded,triggers treatment or
other requirements which a water system must follow.
Variances and Variances and Exemptions: State or EPA permission not to meet an MCL or a treatment
Exemptions technique under certain conditions.
MRDLG: Maximum residual disinfection level goal. The level of a drinking water disinfectant
MRDLG 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.
MRDL: Maximum residual disinfectant level. The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in
MRDL drinking water.There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for
control of microbial contaminants.
MNR MNR: Monitored Not Regulated
