IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER

Mountain Meadows Mutual Water Company Had Levels of Coliform Bacteria Above the Drinking Water Standard
Our water system recently violated a drinking water standard. Although this is not an emergency, as our customers, you have a right to know what you should do, what happened, and what we did to correct this situation.
We routinely monitor for drinking water contaminants. We took 1 sample to test for the presence of coliform bacteria during February. This sample showed the presence of total coliform bacteria. The standard is that no more than 1 sample per month may do so.
What should I do?
· You do not need to boil your water or take other corrective actions.
· This is not an emergency. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately. Total coliform bacteria are generally not harmful themselves. Coliforms are bacteria which are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other, potentially-harmful, bacteria may be present. Coliforms were found in more samples than allowed and this was a warning of potential problems.
· Usually, coliforms are a sign that there could be a problem with the system’s treatment or distribution system (pipes). Whenever we detect coliform bacteria in any sample, we do follow-up testing to see if other bacteria of greater concern, such as fecal coliform or E. coli, are present. We did not find any of these bacteria in our subsequent testing, and further testing shows that this problem has been resolved.
· People with severely compromised immune systems, infants, and some elderly may be at increased risk. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from U.S. EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1(800) 426-4791.
· If you have other health issues concerning the consumption of this water, you may wish to consult your doctor.
What happened? What was done?
A set of five samples throughout the system were taken within 24 hours of receiving the result of the positive sample. One of these five samples also went positive for coliform bacteria. The entire system was then disinfected with chlorine and then the five sample sites were retested and found to be free of coliform.
For more information, please contact Blair Hafner at (760) 935-4504.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this public notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
Secondary Notification Requirements
Upon receipt of notification from a person operating a public water system, the following notification must be given within 10 days [per Health and Safety Code Section 116450(g)]:
· SCHOOLS: Must notify school employees, students, and parents (if the students are minors).
· RESIDENTIAL RENTAL PROPERTY OWNERS OR MANAGERS (including nursing homes and care facilities): Must notify tenants.
· BUSINESS PROPERTY OWNERS, MANAGERS, OR OPERATORS: Must notify employees of businesses located on the property.

Mountain Meadows Mutual Water Company
Annual Meeting
October 17, 2020
This meeting was conducted remotely on zoom due to Community Center closure due to Covid 19.Opening
The meeting Of the Mountain Meadows Mutual Water Company was called to order at
9:01AM by Bill Archibald, President.
Members Present
Board Members Present- Bill Archibald, David Richman, Blair Hafner and Hal Cady.
Subscriber’s Present- Kitty Van Steel, Supervisor Fred Stump, Russel and Rienhart.
President’s Comments
President Bill Archibald thanked Board member/ Operations Manager David Richman for all the hard work that he has put into the Emergency Generator Project for well 3.
Minutes
Last year’s minutes were not available at this time and were not approved.
Financial Status
As of September 31, 2020, the replacement fund had $541,387.00 in it and the operation fund had $151,067.00.
There will be an increase in lab testing fees for water quality. Due to a mistake made by the lab well 3 will need to be tested three times this year in order to obtain a county waiver for water quality.
Water System Status
All wells and telemetry are up and operational
There were two new water meter hook-ups this year.
Well levels remained the same
Currently David Richman is working on completion of the installation of the emergency generator approved last year. A 50 Kw propane generator and propane tank to support it has been purchased and is being installed, a long-complicated process. This generator should be in service by mid-November for use during power outages. So far about $40,000.00 of the budgeted $60,000.00 has been spent.
System Maintenance
Valves exercised and debris removed. One valve may need replacement next spring.
Shareholder Questions
A shareholder asked if there could be an increase in the allotted water usage amount and could the rates be reduced. There was a discussion, and the shareholder was informed that water system was designed for 160,000 gallons of water per user. The fees were designed to prevent over usage of water. According to Supervisor Stump the State will be re- assessing water usage and imposing more water restrictions.
Old Business
President Archibald wanted to remind everyone about P.O.I.S.O.N(power outage irrigation policy). In the event of a planned or accidental power outage, outside irrigation will be suspended until an end of the event. MMMWC will try to e-mail residents of the outage. If outside watering continues after the outage the MMMWC will turn off water to the residence. There will be a $300.00 fee to turn the water back on. This measure is to ensure that the water stored in the system is not depleted.
New Business
The board discussed individual metering of the Three Condo complexes that MMMWC serves, this would require the instillation of about 28 meters. The state is requiring that each residence have an individual water meter by 2025. Currently Moutain Meadows and Pinon Springs only have a meter for irrigation water use.
Blair Hafner made a motion that the MMMWC provide and install a meter to each Condo owner starting next year (2021).
The motion was seconded by Hal Cady.
The motion passed unanimously.
Election of Officers
A quorum was not present. The board will remain the same.
Meeting Adjournment
President Bill Archibald adjourned the meeting at 9:39AM
