City of Bonners Ferry - 2020Annual Water Quality Report Water System Information City of Bonners Ferry 7232 Main Street, P.O. Box 149 Bonners Ferry, Idaho 83805-0149 Public Water System - ID#1110003 Water Treatment Plant Operator - John Delaney Number of Connections - 1,392 Population Served - -3,200 This report is a summary of last year's water quality for the City of Bonners Ferry water system. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to state and federal standards. We are committed to providing you with information because informed citizens are our best advocates. This report will not be mailed to our customers. However, printed copies may be picked up at Bonners Ferry City Hall. The report can be viewed online at www.bonnersferry.id.gov, by clicking on the Departments tab, then by clicking on the Utilities tab. The Consumer Confidence Report is listed on the Utilities page under the Water Department heading. Additionally, the public is welcome to attend the Bonners Ferry City Council meetings. Regular meetings are held on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM in Council Chambers at City Hall located at 7232 Main Street. Water Sources The City utilizes two surface water sources for their drinking water supply that require filtration and disinfection at the City's Water Treatment Plant (WTP). The primary source is Myrtle Creek, while the Kootenai River provides the City with a secondary source. The City water system is also interconnected with the Cabinet Mountain Water District (CMWD), which utilizes groundwater wells adjacent to the Kootenai River. The Kootenai River and the CMWD sources are rarely used by the City, but do provide good emergency back-up sources. For questions regarding CMWD's Annual Water Quality Report, go to www.cmwd.org/reports/. Source Water Assessment and its availability The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) developed a Source Water Assessment for the City which can be obtained at City Hall. Definitions * Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant, which, if exceeded, triggers treatment, or other requirements that a water system must follow. * Initial Distribution System Evaluation (IDSE): IDSE is an important part of the Stage 2 Disinfection By-Products Rule (DBPR). The IDSE is a one-time study conducted by some water systems, providing disinfection or chlorination, to identify distribution system locations' with concentrations of Trihalomethanes (THMs) and Haloacetic acids (HAAs). Water systems will use results from the IDSE, in conjunction with their Stage 1 DBPR compliance monitoring data, to select monitoring locations for Stage 2 DBPR. Not all water systems were required to perform an IDSE. * Maximum Contamination Level (MCL): The highest 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 Contamination Level Goal (MCLG): 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. * Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL): The highest level of 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 (MRDLG): The level of a drinking water disinfectant 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 contamination. * NTU - Nephelometric Turbidity Unit, an increment of turbidity measurement * ppb - Parts per billion; also equivalent ug/L * ppm - Parts per million; also equivalent to mg/L * Treatment Technique: A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. * Turbidity - A measure of water clarity Health Information 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 or other health issues. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791 or http://www.epa.gov/safewater/hotline/. 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 at 1-800-426-4791 or http://www.epa.gov/safewater/hotline/. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the EPA prescribes regulations which 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. Contaminants that may be present in source water before we treat it include: * Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which 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 storm water 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 storm water runoff, and residential uses. * Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and also can come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems. * Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. Level of Detected Contaminants and Associated Health Effect Language The presence of contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done in the calendar year of the report. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Level of Detected Chemical and Radiological Contaminants and Associated Health Effects Language Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this water quality table is from testing performed (January 1, 2013 - December 31, 2013).

Request for Statement of Qualifications CITY OF BONNERS FERRY - MOYIE HYDRO ELECTRICAL IMPROVEMENTS The City of Bonners Ferry is requesting statements of qualifications (SOQ's) from qualified firms for assistance in performing the design and implementation of new Generator Protective Relays (GPR's) for the City's Moyie Hydroelectric Facility. The Moyie Hydro project is a 4-Mega Watt Powerplant located on the Moyie River, 7 miles north east of the City of Bonners Ferry. The City owns and operates the facility for the residents and customers of the city. The City would like to replace the four existing General Electric 489 GPR's with new GPR's manufactured preferably by SEL. Replacement of the GPR's is required because the current units have reached the end-of-life service and are unsupported by General Electric. The City intends to replace all four of the GPR's over a two-to-four-year timeframe. The original GE 489's relays were installed in 2008. The selected consultant will need to have a broad range of knowledge and experience in the area of hydroelectric controls and programming, as the GPR replacement projects will also involve coordination with other hydroelectric components. In 2020, the City commissioned a review and report of the hydro automation system prepared by Terry Borden of Adept Consulting. The report identifies some of the relevant and interrelated issues that require addressing with the GPR replacement. The selected consultant is encouraged to become familiar with the report and address within their SOQ how their firm can address document related problems with the replacement of the units. A copy of such report can be obtained by visiting the City's website (https://bonnersferry.id.gov) or can be emailed to interested parties upon request. SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY CONSULTANT 1. Review City's existing available information with respect to the GPR's and interrelated components at the Moyie Hydro facility. Some City drawings depicting existing components are inaccurate or incomplete.
