Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION – Failure to Fix Significant Deficiency Treatment Technique Violation, Water System #UTAH20003 Curtis Nielsen:

Our records indicate that your system is in violation of the State of Utah Public Drinking Water Rules as follows: On August 17, 2023, Fountain Green received a significant deficiency. The system was notified of
this deficiency on August 17, 2023. That deficiency remains uncorrected:

• SS07 Deep rooted vegetation in spring collection area WS001
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 to request a CAP which was finalized on December 20, 2023. The system failed to correct the deficiencies by the CAP’s deadline of July 1, 2024. 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 the deficiency listed above has 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 [phone] or [e-mail] if you have questions or need assistance. Sincerely,

Helen Lau
Compliance Section Manager
