Included are the details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state standards. We are commit- ted to providing you with information because informed customers are our best allies. It is important that customers be aware of the efforts that are continually being made to improve their water systems. To learn more, please attend any of the regularly scheduled meetings. For more information please contact PAUL SHAPIRO [EMAIL REDACTED] or [PHONE REDACTED]. City Hall is located at 14 E Goldfield Ave. Your water comes from: WELL 6: MOUNTAIN VIEW, Groundwater WELL 5: MASON ROAD, Groundwater WELL 2: BROADWAY WELL, Groundwater WELL 7: CALIFORNIA WELL, Groundwater (This well failed and has been offline since November 2023. This well will be back online in Fall of 2025). Message from EPA: Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons, such as those with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, those 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 Cryp- tosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline ([PHONE REDACTED]). 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 EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline ([PHONE REDACTED]). The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) included 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. Contaminants that may be present in source water before we treat it include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming. Pesticides and herbicides may come from a variety of sources such as storm water run-off, agriculture, and residential users. Radioac- tive contaminants, can be naturally occurring or the result of mining activity. Organic contaminants, including and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petro- leum production, may also come from gas stations, urban storm water run-off, and septic systems. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulation which limits the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. We treat our water according to EPA’s regulations. Food and Drug Administration regulations es- tablish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health. Our water system testeda minimum of 7 samples per month in accordance with the Total Coliform Rule for microbiological contaminants. Coliform bacteria are usually harmless, but their presences in water can be an indication of disease-causing bacteria. When coliform bacteria are found, special follow-up tests are done to determine if harmful bacteria are present in the water supply. If this limit is exceeded, the water supplier must notify the public by newspaper, television or radio. Water Quality Data: The tables following below list all of the drinking water contaminants that were detected during the 2021 calendar year. The presence of these contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done January 1- December 31, 2022. The state requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. Some of the data, though representative of the water quality, is more than one year old. The bottom line is that the water that is provided to you is safe. ---PAGE BREAK--- The City of Yerington is an equal opportunity provider.

View, Broadway, Mason and California. In 2023 California Well started to show elevated levels of URANIUM. The well was taken offline and an emergency was declared by the City of Yerington. During rehabilitation of the well in Spring 2024 it was discovered that the well casing had failed, resulting in abandonment. Development of a replacement well has been underway since, with drilling completed in Spring 2025. As of June 2025, the new well construction is expected to be completed by Fall 2025. This new well has very high water quality and will resolve the URANIUM issues found in 2023. La ciudad de Yerington opera cuatro pozos: Mt. View, Broadway, Mason y California. En 2023, el pozo California comenzó a mostrar niveles elevados de URANIO. El pozo fue desconectado y la ciudad de Yerington declaró una emergencia. Durante la rehabilitación del pozo en la primavera de 2024, se descubrió que el entubado había fallado, lo que provocó su abandono. Desde entonces, se está desarrollando un pozo de reemplazo, cuya perforación se completó en la primavera de 2025. A partir de junio de 2025, se espera que la construcción del nuevo pozo finalice en otoño de 2025. Este nuevo pozo tiene agua de muy alta calidad y resolverá los problemas de URANIO detectados en 2023.

COYPW SDWA CCR 2024 REV NC 06/30/2025 D6BD195 Terms & Abbreviations: Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): the “Goal” is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to human health. MCLG’s allow for a margin of safety. Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): the “Maximum Allowed” MCL is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCL’s are set as close to the MCLG’s as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Action Level (AL): the concentration of a contaminant that, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements that a water system must follow. Treatment Technique (TT): a treatment technique is a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL): the highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal the level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. Non-Detects (ND): laboratory analysis indicates that the constituent is not present. Parts per Million (ppm) or milligrams per liter (mg/l) Parts per Billion (ppb) or micrograms per liter (μg/l) Picocuries per Liter (pCi/L): picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water. Millirems per Year (mrem/yr): measure of radiation absorbed by the body. Million Fibers per Liter (MFL): million fibers per liter is a measure of the presence of asbestos fibers that are longer than 10micrometers. Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU): nephelometric turbidity unit is a measure of the clarity of water. Turbidity in excess of 5 NTU is just noticeable to the average person. Health Information About Water Quality: Coliforms are bacteria that are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other, potentially harmful bacteria may be present. The City of Yerington Water System had one positive result for Total Coliform in June of 2021, and this was a warning of possible problems. We performed additional sampling in in the following months, and all samples have since shown no further evidence of this biological contaminant. Your water meets the EPA’s standard for Lead. If present at elevated levels, this con- taminant 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. Your 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 drinking 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. 2024 Violations: In 2024, the City of Yerington had 4 violations: 10-2024: ODOR TP07 ARSENIC TREATMENT PLANT Q2-2024: RADS URANIUM TP07 ARSENIC TREATMENT PLANT Q2-2024: PHTHALATE W05 MASON WELL 10-2024: LEAD LINE SERVICE INVENTORY DS01 (SYSTEM WIDE) ---PAGE BREAK--- The City of Yerington is an equal opportunity provider.

COYPW SDWA CCR 2024 REV NC 06/30/2025 D6BD195 Overview: Risks Associated with Lead and Galvanized Service Lines: Lead and Galvanized Service Line Inventory June 2025 Community Confidence Report Supplement Exposure to lead in drinking water can cause serious health effects in all age groups.Infants and children can have decreases in IQ and attention span. Lead exposure can lead to new learning and behavior problems or exacerbate existing learning and behavior problems. The children of women who are exposed to lead before or during pregnancy can have increased risk of these adverse health effects. Adults can have increased risks of heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney or nervous system problems. (US EPA 816-F-24-004) Who owns the Service Line? The City of Yerington owns and maintains all system components including the water meter and the water meter pit on the edge of the customer’s property. The customer owns the service line running from the meter to the home or business. What if I have a Lead or Galvanized Service Line? Name: If you believe that you have a lead or galvanized service line, please provide the information requested below so that we may add the information to the inventory database. When Were Lead Service Lines Banned? In the State of Nevada, any construction completed after 09/30/1989 was required by State law not to contain lead. A service line is the pipe that runs from the water meter to your home or business. The City is required to develop and maintain a service line inventory to identify any possible lead or galvanized service lines that deliver drinking water to customers. While most customer service lines are made of materials that DO NOT pose a risk, there are still existing service lines that may contain lead. The City of Yerington Public Works department needs to identify any lead or galvanized service lines and maintain an inventory. We are obligated to notify users of these service line risks annually until all non-conforming materials are replaced.
