Dear Krystal Percival:
Subject: Public Drinking Water Requirements for Virgin, UTAH27020
According to the Division of Drinking Water’s records, Virgin is a Community water system that
now serves a population of about 1,512 people.
This population change results in the following changes to your systems sampling and operator
certification requirements as follows:
Bacteriological Sampling
The total number of bacteriological samples this system is now required to take has increased to
2 each month. It is still your responsibility to send a copy of all results to our office by the 10th
of the following month. In the event of a coliform positive result, you are required to take three
repeat samples and a triggered source E.coli sample for each ground water source in service at
the time of the original positive sample. The system is required to submit an updated written
sample site plan that identifies sampling sites and sample collection schedules that are
representative of water throughout the distribution system. For any questions regarding the Total
Coliform rule or Groundwater rule, contact Sitara Federico at [phone] or
[e-mail]. This new sample schedule will take effect on November 1st, 2024.

Operator Certification Requirements
The system is classified as a Community that serves a population of 1,512 persons. This requires
a certified Distribution Grade II (D2) Direct Responsible Charge Operator (DRC) to operate the
system. According to our records, the system does not have an operator certified at the level of
the system registered as a Direct Responsible Charge (DRC). If the population or the complexity
of the water system changes, a higher level of certification may be required.
The system has until August 27, 2025 , to come into compliance with the R309-300 Certification
Rules for Water Supply Operators. We have updated the System’s operator certification
requirements in the Division’s Improvement Priority System (IPS). Failure to comply would be a
significant deficiency and subject to demerit points.
Visit ddwopcert.utah.gov for more information regarding the R309-300 Certification Rules for
Water Supply Operators, how to become a certified operator, or to post a job position for
operators. For questions, contact Dawnie Jacobo at 385-272-5038 or [e-mail].
A current monitoring schedule for your system has been enclosed. If this letter is in error please
contact me at [phone] or [e-mail] within 30 days. Thank you for your efforts
in maintaining a safe drinking water system.
Sincerely,
Mark Berger
