Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION – Huntsville Town Water System Failure to Monitor
Residual Disinfectant Concentration Entering the Distribution System at Bennett Spring
WTP, TP001, #UTAH29007
Dear Angela Dee Jones:
Our records indicate that your system is in violation of the State of Utah Public Drinking Water
Rule R309-215-10 as follows:
As a surface water treatment system, Bennett Spring WTP is required to monitor disinfectant
residual at the entry point to the distribution system and report the daily minimum residual
concentration. On 8/5/2023 and 8/13/2023, your system failed to monitor and report the
disinfectant residual at the entry point to the distribution systems at Bennett Spring WTP.
Failure to monitor and report the daily minimum residual concentration at the entry point of
distribution has resulted in the addition of 100 Improvement Priority System (IPS) points to your
IPS report (R309-400-4), as summarized below.
•Vio 41 (100 points) – Res Disinfect Concentration (SWTR): Failure to monitor chlorine
residual at the entry point to the distribution system [R309-215-10] (August 2023)
Two months of compliance, as demonstrated in the monthly reports, will be required to resolve
this violation.
If this letter is in error, please send appropriate documentation to Sarah Page at [e-mail]
as soon as possible within 30 days. Upon receipt of the results, we will resolve the violation and
remove the points from your system’s IPS report.
Additionally, because this is a Tier 3 violation, you must notify all consumers of the violation
within one year of the violation according to R309-220-7. This public notice requirement cannot

be waived once a violation has occurred. Public notification must be designed to reach all users.
Water systems are to use, at a minimum, one or more of the following forms of delivery:
broadcast media (such as radio and television), posting notice in a conspicuous location
throughout the areas served by water system, hand delivery, or another delivery method approved
in writing by the director. The Division must approve the notice prior to distribution. A copy of
the notice you send to each customer must be provided to the Division ([e-mail])
