Important information from ADEQ.
Notice of unknown service line material
Misty Mountain Domestic Water Improvement District is focused on protecting the health of every household in our community. This notice contains important information about your drinking water. Please share this information with anyone who drinks and/or cooks using water at this property. In addition to people directly served at this property, this can include people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, businesses, as well as parents served by childcare at this property.
Misty Mountain Domestic Water Improvement District is working to identify service line materials throughout the water system and has determined that the water pipe (called a service line) that connects your home to the water main is made from unknown material but may be lead. Because your service line material is unknown, there is the potential that some or all of the service line could be made of lead or galvanized pipe that was previously connected to lead. People living in homes with a lead or galvanized pipe previously connected to a lead service line have an increased risk of exposure to lead from their drinking water.
There are a number of resources available to homeowners:

Pumphouse gets a new Look.
We recently had a complete cleaning and painting of the main water tank. It is sparkling clean.
See attached report: https://mistymtndwid.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Copy-of-Inspection-Report-Misty-Mountain-10k-Tank9527.pdf
We also painted the pumphouse and are in the process of re-roofing the pumphouse. All necessary improvements
Update August 2024
DOSE and FLUSH scheduled for this week. Our CWO, Trevor will dose our water system with Chlorine and flush it out in order to sanitize the system. This is performed every year. If you notice a chlorine taste or smell, this is normal and will dissapate in a few days. You may want to store some MMDWID water before the Dose and Flush if you want to avoid the Chlorine. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Update July 4, 2024
The latest copy of our Consumer Confidence Reports (CCR) are now available on this website under Reports.

Update on using Porter Mountain Water 04-06-2023
Please read the Porter Mountain Share agreement. We currently have an agreement with Porter Mountain DWID to connect to their well if we need to in an emergency. Porter Mountain charges Misty Mountain more that we charge our customers therefore the charge will be passed along to you, the customer. See the agreement. We are thankful to have Porter Moiuntain as a partner. As always we ask our customers to conserve water when we are on the Porter Mtn. well.

Great news! We are now able to accept online payments through your ebill. Just click on the "Online payment" options and follow the prompts.
It is quick and easy. There is a transaction fee that will be charged to our customers after the money is deposited in our account.
Transaction fees are as follows
EFT - 1%, Credit card 2.99%, Paypal 2.99%, Venmo 2.99%.
If you choose to pay online, the transaction fee will be assessed and placed on your next months bill. Look for the "transaction fee" on your bill.
The great thing is that it is quick and easy. With the cost of stamps at $.66 a stamp it is pretty cost effective.
Of course, you can always pay in cash or check and continue to use snail mail, or drop off at Mariann's house.

Update 03/09-2024
As the new rates unfold, we would like to thank our customers who have been most patient and understanding. We are currently working on a process to link out accounts to online payments. It has not been set up yet, however, so please do not use the link to pay online. Over the next couple of months we will test the process. There will be a small fee that the banks charge for online payments, 1% for electronic transfer and 2.99% for credit card transctions. This goes along with the community standard for using Credit cards.
Once the online payment is tested we will roll it out for our customers to use.

Latest update:
The new well pump was installed and we also needed to replace the converter box. The installation will be done some time next week. At that time we will be able to go back to our Misty Mountain Well and transfer off Porter Mountain Water. It has been a long process but we are finally ahead of the game. Thank you all for your patience.
Latest 12/28/23
In the past week we have changed out 4 capacitors in the pump house. We are in the process of upgrading the electrical panel which will bring the system into working order.

UPDATE 11/30/2023
We received a call from Water Ops a short while ago informing us that our well sample tested positive for coliform. This is not harmful but must be treated with Chlorine. Water Ops(CWO) will continue to treat until the sample comes back negative. This may take weeks. It is likely that when the well pump was replaced it became contaminated. Water Ops took their normal precautions to prevent contamination. We will send out updates as we receive them from Water Ops. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
Update 10/31/23 Happy Halloween
Great news! We are back on Misty Mountain Water. The new well pump and new electrical wiring has been installed. Dose and Flush is being done and we will be back to normal soon.
A huge thank you to Barry, and Trevor of WaterOps, and Beamann Wells for taking great care to see that we were in water as soon az possible.
UPDATE 10-28-23
Dear customers.
Progress is being made. Installation was completed on the new well late Friday. The tanks are currently being refilled. All precautions are being taken to ensure that our system isn’t contaminated. There may continue to be a chlorine taste in the water for the next several days.
Thank you Water Ops and Beeman for making this process run smoothly.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

The latest news.
Tomorrow morning we will switch our water over to Porter Mtn water system. Our water tanks are half full tonight. We hope to have the new well pump delivered on Friday. We also hope to resume Misty Mountain water within 5 business days. As always we will keep you informed as we obtain new information. Remember when we change over to the Porter Mtn system you may notice a Chlorine smell or taste. This is normal for a chlorinated system. Once we switch back to Misty Mtn water, Water Ops will complete a Dose and Flush to the system. Have questions, give us a call.
Update 10-24-23
Our well pump was removed yesterday. There is a new pump on order and should arrive on Friday. We are using water at a rate of 1 ft decrease in our tanks per day. At that rate we will most likely switch to Porter Mountain water tomorrow 10-25-23. Water Ops has decreased the water pressure this morning in order to conserve water. WE STRONGLY URGE ALL MISTY MTN. WATER CUSTOMERS TO CONSERVE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
All efforts are being taken to expidite this process. We will email all customers when we transfer to Porter Mountain.
