Monitoring and Reporting Requirements (Addendum 1)
Project Summary for Berra Blvd Well (WS024), Berra Blvd Tablet Chlorinator (TP024), and Berra Blvd Pump Station (PF006)
Our understanding of the project is as follows:
Berra Blvd Well (WS024)
This project consists of equipping Tooele City Water System’s new Berra Blvd Well. The new well pump and discharge piping are housed in a new well house located adjacent to Tooele City’s
Berra 1 MG Tank (ST007).
The Berra Blvd Well was equipped with a 300 horsepower (hp) vertical turbine pump with a maximum pumping capacity of 1,500 gallons per minute (gpm). The pump is equipped with a variable
frequency drive (VFD).
The 10-inch diameter well discharge piping includes a combination air/vacuum valve assembly with a smooth-nosed sample tap, a pump control valve, a check valve, a pressure gauge, a magnetic
flow meter, and a gate valve, as well as other piping, valves, and appurtenances. The well discharge line connects to a pump to waste line which discharges with an air gap to a drain
outside the well house.
A 1.5-inch diameter chlorinator supply line draws water from the discharge piping in the pump control room to the new tablet chlorinator in the chlorine room. Another 1.5-inch diameter
line returns the chlorinated water from the tablet chlorinator to the well discharge line.
The Berra Blvd Well pumps directly into the Berra 1 MG Tank.
A backup generator was installed next to the new well house.
The Berra Blvd Well is identified as WS024 in the Division’s database.
We have received the following information for Berra Blvd Well (WS024):
Design engineer’s statement of conformance with approval conditions.
Documentation of valid water right.
Evidence of O&M manual delivery.
Record drawings.
Documentation that the requirements for coverage under the City source protection ordinance have been met.
Satisfactory bacteriological results as evidence of proper disinfection and flushing.
Berra Blvd Tablet Chlorinator (TP024)
The proposed Berra Blvd Tablet Chlorinator is an Accu-Tab PowerPro Model 3075 Tablet Chlorinator.
The chlorinator adds chlorine to the water from the Berra Blvd Well using Accu-Tab SI calcium hypochlorite tablets.
The chlorinator is intended to provide voluntary disinfection to the water from the Berra Blvd Well and help maintain the chlorine residual within Tooele City Water System’s distribution
system. The proposed chlorinator is not intended to provide primary disinfection.
The chlorinated water is returned to the Berra Blvd Well discharge line and pumped to the Berra 1 MG Tank, and then pumped to the distribution system.
The proposed Accu-Tab SI calcium hypochlorite tablets meet the ANSI/NSF 60 standard.
The design target dose of 3 mg/L or ppm (measured as free chlorine) is based on a typical flow of 1,500 gallons per minute (gpm) from Berra Blvd Well.
The chlorine dose will be adjusted manually based on the flow from the well.
The Berra Blvd Tablet Chlorinator is identified as TP024 in the Division’s database.
The Point of Entry (POE) sampling location will be a private residence located at 7 W Alden Way. This location is the first service connection downstream of the Berra 1 MG Tank. This
POE sampling location is identified as EP024 in the Division’s database.
Berra Blvd Pump Station
The proposed Berra Blvd Pump Station was installed within the new Berra Blvd well house. The new pump station serves Tooele City’s pressure Zone 9.
The pump station consists of three (3) 75 hp, 1,000 gpm line shaft pumps and two (2) 50 hp, 500 gpm line shaft pumps as well as a surge line. Additional piping and a sixth pump can were
installed to accommodate a future booster pump not included as part of this project.
Each pump is equipped with a variable speed drive to allow for flexibility in operating the pumps to meet various demand scenarios.
A combination air/vacuum valve and pressure gauge was installed on each pump discharge line.
The pump station pumps water from the adjacent Berra 1 MG Tank (ST007) to Tooele City Water System’s distribution system via a new 16-inch diameter transmission line.

Approximately 250 linear feet of 16-inch diameter pipe were installed between the pump discharge line and the connection to the distribution system.
Operating Permit for Berra Blvd Well (WS024), Berra Blvd Tablet Chlorinator (TP024), and Berra Blvd Pump Station (PF006)
We have determined that all conditions of operating permit issuance have been met. On this basis, an Operating Permit for Berra Blvd Well (WS024), Berra Blvd Tablet Chlorinator (TP024),
and Berra Blvd Pump Station (PF006)is hereby issued as constituted by this letter. You may now place Berra Blvd Well (WS024), Berra Blvd Tablet Chlorinator (TP024), and Berra Blvd Pump
Station (PF006) in service in your water system.
Please maintain a copy of this letter with your permanent records for future reference.
The equipped well pump capacity of Berra Blvd Well is 1,500 gallons per minute (gpm). The safe yield of Berra Blvd Well is rated at 1,333 gpm, which is calculated based on two-thirds
of the constant-rate aquifer drawdown test results at 2,000 gpm. The safe yield of 1,333 gpm is the basis for determining the maximum number of connections that Berra Blvd Well can serve.
Secondary Disinfection Requirements
The Tooele City Water System has elected to install the Berra Blvd Tablet Chlorinator (TP024) and must provide continuous disinfection to maintain detectable chlorine residuals throughout
the distribution system for secondary disinfection. The Tooele City Water Systemis not currently required to disinfect the Berra Blvd Well (WS024) based on available bacteriological
source sample results.
The Division shall be informed by telephone within 8 hours by a water supplier ofthe malfunction of any disinfection facility such that a detectable residual cannot be maintained at
all points in the distribution system per R309-105-18(1)(a).
Please be aware that, if any water source of the Tooele City Water System is found to require primary disinfection in the future per R309-200-5(7)(a)(i), additional regulations will
apply. This will include submitting disinfection CT information showing compliance with 4-log virus inactivation in accordance with the Ground Water Rule in R309-215-16.
The Tooele City Water System is required to demonstrate ongoing compliance with the secondary disinfection requirements found in Addendum 1as long as the Berra Blvd Tablet Chlorinator
(TP024) is in operation.
Monitoring and Reporting
Issuance of this Operating Permit changes your water system’s monitoring and reporting requirements. Additional monitoring and reporting requirements are found in Addendum 1 to this
letter.Please contact Mark Berger, Water Quality/Monitoring and Standards Manager, at [phone] for questions regarding the monitoring and reporting requirements for your water
system. 
There may be new changes in monitoring and reporting requirements in the future as the Division continues to improve the disinfection monitoring and reporting practices. Failure to adhere
to required monitoring and reporting will result in violations and the assessment of IPS points.
Exceptions to Rules R309-600-13(3) and R309-515-6(4) No Longer Required
The Division conditionally concurred with the final Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plan for this source in a letter dated March 29, 2022. The conditions identified in that letter
for completion by Tooele City before submission of the next updated DWSP plan are no longer required. On June 26, 2024, Rules R309-600-13(3) and R309-515-6(4) were revised to remove
the requirement that sewer lines, sewer laterals, and sewer maintenance access points in source protection zone two be specially constructed. Therefore, exceptions to R309-600-13(3)
and R309-515-6(4) are no longer required for the sewer infrastructure located within source protection zone two for the Berra Blvd Well (Well #19). Future sewer lines, sewer laterals,
or sewer maintenance access points located within source protection zone one must still comply with Rules R309-600-13(3) and R309-515-6(4).
The Division received proof that the zones had been provided to Tooele City for coverage under its Drinking Water Source Protection Ordinance on July 16, 2024. The next updated DWSP
Plan is due by December 31, 2026. If you have questions about the source protection requirements, please contact Deidre Beck, P.G., at [phone] or via email at [e-mail].
If you have any questions regarding this Operating Permit, please contact Hunter Payne, of this office, at [phone], or Michael Newberry, P.E., Permitting and Engineering Support
