Dear Christopher Leigh:
Subject: Public Drinking Water Requirements for Brian Head Town Water System, UTAH11001
According to the Division of Drinking Water’s records, Brian Head Town Water System is a
Community water system that now serves a population of about 1038 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 (385) 515-1459 or
sfederico@utah.gov. This new sample schedule will take effect on November 1st, 2024.
Lead and Copper
This population change brings the total number of Lead and Copper samples required to 10 every
three years. The next sample must be collected during June 1, 2025 - September 30, 2025. For
any questions regarding the Lead and Copper rule, contact Dylan Martinez at (385) 278-3807 or
dylanmartinez@utah.gov. The updated monitoring requirements for Lead and Copper are
included in the attached monitoring schedule.

Operator Certification Requirements
The system is classified as a Community that serves a population of 1,038 persons. This requires
a certified Distribution Grade I (D1) Direct Responsible Charge Operator (DRC) to operate the
system. According to our records, the system has 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.
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 ddwopcert@utah.gov.
A current monitoring schedule for your system has been enclosed. If this letter is in error please
contact me at (801) 641-6457 or mberger@utah.gov within 30 days. Thank you for your efforts
in maintaining a safe drinking water system.
Sincerely,
Mark Berger

Utah Division of Drinking Water
Bacteriological Sample Site Plan
All public water systems are required under the Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR) to submit a Bacteriological
Sample Site Plan. The purpose of the wri en sample site plan is to ensure the collec on of samples from points in
the distribu on system that best represent the quality of water served to customers, to iden fy repeat sampling
loca ons, and to establish a sampling schedule.
What to include in the plan:
1. The following should be submi ed for the Bacteriological Sample Site Plan:
a. The plan must include a MAP of the distribu on system. Excep ons are small systems such as
restaurants, schools, office buildings, and some small industries.
b. Bacteriological Sample Site Plan form.
2. The map should show loca ons of all distribu on lines, sources, treatment, storage tanks and sampling
sites. Iden fy each sampling site by street address and a numeric point code. Give a brief descrip on of
the site. For example: 201 Main Street, 1. DS001, outside house tap, or Maintenance Facility, 1. DS001,
men’s restroom sink. The sampling site Numeric Point Code should begin with the number 1 and then
con nue in sequen al numeric order. Use the numeric point code, along with DS001, when submi ng
samples to the laboratory.
3. Locate sample sites so they represent all areas of the distribu on system. You may wish to include
comments on your plan showing the reason(s) for selec ng each site. Such as popula on density,
industrial areas, pressures zones, areas vulnerable to poten al contamina on, dead-end lines, and
purchased source entry points. Alternate sampling loca ons through different loca ons of the water
system.
4. Do NOT indicate the raw water tap or sources as sampling sites for rou ne or repeat coliform samples.
These are “triggered source” sampling loca ons under the Groundwater Rule (GWR). Indicate the
associated source (by DDW assigned source codes) for each sample loca on. For example: “WS001”,
“WS002 and WS004”, or “All Sources” supply this specific loca on.
5. Include the loca on for “Repeat” sample sites. Repeat samples must be collected at the following
loca ons within 24 hours of a total coliform or E coli posi ve sample:
- The tap where the original posi ve coliform sample was collected,
- A tap within five (5) service connec ons upstream, and
- A tap within five (5) service connec ons downstream.
6. Alterna ve fixed repeat loca ons may be iden fied at loca ons that best verify and determine the extent
of poten al contamina on in the distribu on system based on a specific situa on.
7. For system with only one or two service connec ons (suitable sampling taps), collect all three repeat
samples in one day from the limited number of sampling taps. The sample site plan should show which
taps(s) are in use for mul ple samples.
8. The number of rou ne coliform samples collected each month is based on the popula on of the water
system. For a table indica ng the number of samples required see Sec on R309-210-5.
9. Include a schedule for selec on of the samples. Systems using only groundwater and serving less than
4,900 people (five samples required per month or fewer) may collect all required sample on a single day.
Systems with greater than five samples per month must collect a por on of the samples at regular
intervals throughout the month with the total number being the number required.
