Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION – Failure to Fix Significant Deficiency Treatment Technique
Violation, Water System #UTAH03105

Andrew Beecher:

Our records indicate that your system is in violation of the State of Utah Public Drinking Water
Rules as follows:

On January 31, 2024, Cinnamon Creek Rec Area received five significant deficiencies in a
“Notification for Groundwater Required to Disinfect” letter. These deficiencies remain
uncorrected on an active facility:

• TD25 Disinfection is required but disinfection is intermittent or not continuous TP001
• TD22 Lacks backup power supply for required disinfection TP001
Utah Public Drinking Water Rules require all significant deficiencies to be corrected within 120
days of the date of notification or the system must enter a corrective action plan (CAP) with the
Division to address the significant deficiencies as specified in R309-215-16(3)(a)(v). The system
chose not to request a corrective action plan or submit a correction for this deficiency within
the given timeframe. This results in the system being assessed a treatment technique
violation in accordance with R309-215-16(4)(a) and the assessment of 50 Improvement
Priority System (IPS) points to the system’s IPS Report. Be advised this could adversely affect
your water system’s rating (R309-400).
As a result of this Tier 2 violation, the system must provide the public notice as soon as practical,
but no later than 30 days after the system learns of the violation. If the public notice is posted, the
notice must remain in place for as long as the violation or situation persists, but in no case for less
than seven days, even if the violation or situation is resolved (see R309-220-6(1)(a) and R309-
220-6(1)(b)). This public notice requirement cannot be waived once a violation occurs. Proof of
public notification must be provided to the Division at ([e-mail]) within 30 days of

notifying the water system customers and resubmitted each quarter the deficiencies remain
unresolved.
If any of the above deficiencies have been corrected, please complete the enclosed IPS Deficiency
Correction Notice and submit the information to the Division at [e-mail] immediately.
We ask that you respond to this letter as soon as possible. Please contact Jennifer Yee at (385)
515-1501 or [e-mail] if you have questions or need assistance.

Sincerely,

Helen Lau
Compliance Section Manager
