Compliance

Failure to collect these samples is in violation of Utah Administrative Code Rule 309-205.
The violations result in the addition of points to this system’s Improvement Priority System (IPS)
report for each missing sample and could adversely affect this water system’s rating (see R309-
400).

To resolve this violation, please collect the missing sample as soon as possible within the next
30 days. Upon receipt of results, we will resolve the violation and remove the points from the
system’s IPS report. Additionally, please notify the Division if this letter is in error.

In accordance with the public notice requirements given in R309-220-7, the system must notify all
the water system’s consumers of this violation within one year after you learn of the violation.
Please reference the enclosed public notice template for guidance. Community water systems must
provide notice using one or more of the following methods:
