Subject: Extension of Initial Order for New Public Water System, Slot Canyons Inn UTAH09104

Dear Joette Marie Rex:

On April 19, 2021, the Director of the Division of Drinking Water (“Director”) issued a New System Order
(“NSO”) to Slot Canyons Inn UTAH09104 (“System”). The Director received an extension request for
item(s) outlined in the Enforcement Order Schedule (ESO).

Due to the System showing improvement in correcting deficiencies and attempting to achieve compliance,
I am granting an extension for the items listed in the EOS with associated due dates.

With the issuance of this extension, the Slot Canyon Inn will remain unrated.

Please continue to work with Division staff and your local health department to remain in compliance.
Under Utah law, the Director of the Division is required to provide notice of violations of the Utah Safe
Drinking Water Act (the “Act”), the rules, or orders and to otherwise enforce compliance with regulatory
requirements; this includes violations of the Initial Order.

If you have any further questions, please contact Colt Smith at [phone] or [e-mail].

Sincerely,

Tim Davis,
Director
Division of Drinking Water
