Subject: Water System Violation – Vernon Waterworks Special Service Dist - UTAH23007

Terri Pehrson:

The Division of Drinking Water records show this water system is in violation of the State of Utah Public
Drinking Water Rules as follows:

For the month of January 2024, no ROUTINE bacteriological analysis results were reported to
our office. This system is required to collect at least one sample per month, have it analyzed,
and send the results to us. Failure to collect samples is a violation of Utah Administration Code
(UAC) Rule R309-211-9(3)(b). This violation results in the addition of 25 points to this
system’s Improvement Priority System (IPS) report and could adversely affect this water
system’s rating (see R309-400).

You must notify all the water system’s consumers of this violation within one year after you
learn of the violation (see R309-220-7). Refer to the enclosed example of a public notice. A
copy of the notice you send to the system’s consumers must be forwarded to the Division of
Drinking Water ([e-mail]) within 12 months after the date of this letter. Failure to
provide the required public notification within one year will result in the addition of five points
to this system’s IPS report.

If this letter is in error and you do have ROUTINE bacteriological analysis results for January
2024, please send them as soon as possible within 30 days. Please reference this water system in
all correspondence. Upon receipt of the results, we will change the violation from a failure to
collect violation to a reporting violation for failure to submit a monitoring report in a timely
manner as required by section R309-211-9(4)(a).
