Subject: Federal SRF Loan Authorization; Foothill Water Users Association, System #11099,
Loan #3F2006

Dear Steve Brown:

On November 7, 2023, the Drinking Water Board authorized a loan of $603,030, with $181,030 in
principal forgiveness, for a net repayable amount of $422,000 for 40 years at 0% interest to
Foothill Water Users Association for the construction of a new 250,000-gallon tank, resolve well
deficiencies, and to install water meters and fire hydrant risers (hereinafter called the "Project").

On June 25, 2024, the Drinking Water Board authorized an additional $188,554 to the previously
authorized construction loan for a new loan total of $791,554 for 40 years at 0% interest with
$237,554 in principal forgiveness, for a net repayable amount of $554,000, to Foothill Water
Users Association. The financial assistance is subject to the same conditions and requirements as
stated in the authorization letter dated November 28, 2023, to Foothill Water Users Association.

With the signing of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law on November 15, 2021, there is a new
requirement for Federal SRF projects. The Build America Buy America Act (BABAA) goes into
effect on May 14, 2022. All federal financial assistance recipients that close their assistance
agreement on or after this date will be required to comply. The Utah DWSRF Program has created
an interim Build America Buy America Requirements sheet for your reference. Please note, this
sheet should be included in construction contract documents before a project is advertised for
bids. Also, please be aware that these requirements may change once the Office of Management
and Budget issues final guidance on implementing BABAA requirements.

Steven Brown, Foothill
