Ogden Town Public Utilities clients are fortunate to get water from 3 main sources: groundwater from wells, surface area water drawn from Pineview Reservoir and Wheeler Creek, and cured water purchased coming from Weber Basin Drinking water Conservancy District (WBWCD). WBWCD's water is a combination of treated floor and surface oceans from wells possessed by WBWCD and from waters attracted by WBWCD from your Weber River. WATER SOURCE PROTECTION PROGRAMS Ogden City General public Utilities has finished Drinking Water Source Safety Plans for all of the surface water resources. Drinking-Water Source Safety Plans include recognition of the areas that the drinking water resources receive water, tests of the potential contaminants threats to the places within these areas, and management applications to help control the two existing and potential sources of contaminants. Copies of these programs can be obtained from the General public Utility office for any nominal fee. The state of the Hawaii Division of Drinking Water also offers a copy of the document. Descriptions of the significant potential sources of contaminants located within the part of the Utility’s surface drinking water sources are the following. • Transportation of Hazardous Materials Along Roadways - Incidents along highways and also other major roads can result in spills of dangerous materials and result in contamination. • Commercial, Commercial, Automotive, Sea, and Equipment Repair - Products and components are used and kept in various quantities in these companies including stomach acids, solvents, oils, gas, diesel fuel, and also other chemicals. Spills of those products and materials can result in contamination. • Countryside Residential Areas -- Household septic devices that are failing consist of bacteria and virus-like pathogens that are dismissed directly into the ground and could eventually enter the surface area water source. Energy sources, fertilizers, and insect sprays that may be used and stored also have to contaminate. • Agricultural Activities -- Runoff containing manures, herbicides, and insect sprays applied to croplands can enter the surface drinking water sources. Also, runoff containing bacteria and viruses coming from animal wastes coming from pastures or pet farms has the probability of entering the surface drinking water sources. • Nutrient Producers - Passageways or stripped property from mining procedures could lead to a higher level of acidity or sediment lots in surface drinking water sources. • Camping Areas and Other Activities - Camping waste products and fuels utilized for recreational vehicles potentially have to be spilled and may contaminate surface drinking water sources. • Sewerage Treatment Facilities -- Untreated sewage could be discharged directly into surface area water sources on extreme or crisis conditions. • Subterranean Fuel Storage -- Fuel in subterranean storage tanks might enter groundwater and finally reach surface drinking water sources if a drip occurs in the container..
