Dear Lorin Shumway:
Subject: Public Drinking Water Requirements for Kanosh Town Water System, UTAH14006
According to the Division of Drinking Water’s records, Kanosh Town Water System is a
Community water system that now serves a population of about 555 people.
This population change results in the following changes to your systems sampling and operator
certification requirements as follows:
Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs) Sampling
The water system’s Disinfection Byproducts (DBP) sampling requirement has changed. The
system is now required to collect one (1) sample every year. Each sample must be a dual sample
set of total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) and haloacetic acids (HAA5). The next DBP samples
must be collected during the July 1 - September 30, 2025, monitoring period . For any
questions regarding the DBP rule contact Luke Treutel at [phone] or [e-mail].
Lead and Copper
This population change brings the total number of Lead and Copper samples required to ten
every three years. The next samples must be collected during June 1, 2027 - September 30, 2027.
Note this will not affect the current monitoring schedule which ends on September 30, 2024. For
any questions regarding the Lead and Copper rule, contact Dylan Martinez at [phone] or
[e-mail]. 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 555 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) and is in compliance with the R309-300
Certification Rules for Water Supply Operators. 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 [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
Monitoring and Standards Section Manager
