Dear Mr. Fonnesbeck:
Subject: Water System Violation – Amalga Town Water UTAH03002
According to Division of Drinking Water (DDW) records, your system has failed to submit a Consumer
Confidence Report (CCR) for the calendar year 2019. In order to document compliance with the rule, a
copy of the report must be delivered to the systems consumers and the Division of Drinking Water by July
1st annually.
EPA requires that we provide them with a list of systems that have not complied with this requirement.
Your water system can appear on the EPA’s list which can result in further enforcement actions against this
system. Therefore we advise that you give this matter your immediate attention.
Failure to submit this report is a violation of Section R309-225-1 of the rules. This violation will result in
the addition of 15 points to your system’s Improvement Priority System Score (IPS) and could adversely
effect your water system’s rating (R309-400). Please note that as of July 1, 2020, there will now be a cost
recovery fee associated to each CCR violation in the amount of $500.00. This fee will be reassessed each
subsequent quarter until the CCR requirements have been met. The system will be invoiced for this cost
recovery fee within 30 days from the date of this letter. For more information about the cost
recovery fees please visit: deq.utah.gov/drinking-water/fee-changes.
Your water system can be returned to compliance and the IPS points will be removed when you submit a
completed 2019 CCR report to DDW at brandismith@utah.gov. If the CCR is submitted and approved
within 30 days from the RECEIPT of this letter, the cost recovery fee will be removed. If the CCR is
Submitted and approved beyond the 30 days, Your water system will be returned to compliance, however
the system will be required to pay the cost recovery fee of $ 500.00. If you have further questions or
require assistance you may contact Brandi Smith at (801) 536-4210 or brandismith@utah.gov.
Sincerely,
Mimi Ujiie
