Dear George Love:
Subject: Public Drinking Water Requirements for Vineyard City, UTAH25168
According to the Division of Drinking Water’s records, Vineyard City is a Community water
system that now serves a population of about 21,431 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
20 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 December 1st, 2024.
Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs) Sampling
The water system’s Disinfection Byproducts (DBP) sampling requirement has changed. The
system is now required to collect two (2) samples every quarter. 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 January 1 - March 30, 2025, monitoring period .

The system must submit an updated DBP sample site plan to the Division within 30 days of this
letter with at least two (2) sample sites. A sample site plan template with instructions has been
enclosed. For any questions regarding the DBP rule contact Luke Treutel at [phone] or
[e-mail].
Operator Certification Requirements:
The system is classified as a Community water system that serves a population of 21,431
persons. This requires a certified Distribution Grade 4 (D4) Direct Responsible Charge Operator
(DRC) to operate the system. According to our records, the system does have an operator
certified at the level of the system registered as a Direct Responsible Charge (DRC).
We have updated the System’s operator certification requirement 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

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 wrien sample site plan is to ensure the collecon of samples from points in
the distribuon system that best represent the quality of water served to customers, to idenfy repeat sampling
locaons, and to establish a sampling schedule.
What to include in the plan:
1. The following should be submied for the Bacteriological Sample Site Plan:
a. The plan must include a MAP of the distribuon system. Excepons are small systems such as
restaurants, schools, office buildings, and some small industries.
b. Bacteriological Sample Site Plan form.
2. The map should show locaons of all distribuon lines, sources, treatment, storage tanks and sampling
sites. Idenfy each sampling site by street address and a numeric point code. Give a brief descripon 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
connue in sequenal numeric order. Use the numeric point code, along with DS001, when subming
samples to the laboratory.
3. Locate sample sites so they represent all areas of the distribuon system. You may wish to include
comments on your plan showing the reason(s) for selecng each site. Such as populaon density,
industrial areas, pressures zones, areas vulnerable to potenal contaminaon, dead-end lines, and
purchased source entry points. Alternate sampling locaons through different locaons of the water
system.
4. Do NOT indicate the raw water tap or sources as sampling sites for roune or repeat coliform samples.
These are “triggered source” sampling locaons under the Groundwater Rule (GWR). Indicate the
associated source (by DDW assigned source codes) for each sample locaon. For example: “WS001”,
“WS002 and WS004”, or “All Sources” supply this specific locaon.
5. Include the locaon for “Repeat” sample sites. Repeat samples must be collected at the following
locaons within 24 hours of a total coliform or E coli posive sample:
- The tap where the original posive coliform sample was collected,
- A tap within five (5) service connecons upstream, and
- A tap within five (5) service connecons downstream.
6. Alternave fixed repeat locaons may be idenfied at locaons that best verify and determine the extent
of potenal contaminaon in the distribuon system based on a specific situaon.
7. For system with only one or two service connecons (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 mulple samples.
8. The number of roune coliform samples collected each month is based on the populaon of the water
system. For a table indicang the number of samples required see Secon R309-210-5.
9. Include a schedule for selecon 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 poron of the samples at regular
intervals throughout the month with the total number being the number required.

Stage 2 Disinfectant Byproduct (DBP) Sampling Plan
In accordance with State of Utah Rule R309-210-10(3): Any Community (COM) or Non-Transient Non-Community
(NTNC) drinking water system that regularly applies a chemical disinfectant must develop and implement a DBP
monitoring plan. The system must maintain current version of the plan on file and submit a copy of 1) the monitoring
plan, 2) a schematic of the distribution system, and 3) the justification for site selection (IDSE water, modeling analysis,
etc.) to the Division of Drinking Water.
BASIC WATER SYSTEM INFO

SITE SELECTION INFO
Associated Rules:
R309-210-9(2)(b)(i)(Q): A dual sample set (i.e., a TTHM and an HAA5 sample) must be
taken at each monitoring location during each monitoring period.
Associated Info:
Disinfection By Product Sampling
schedules are based on
population and source water
type. DBPs may be required
quarterly, annually, or every
three years. For a complete list of
possible schedules please see
associated DBP handout.
•One dual sample set must be taken at the
highest TTHM (trihalomethanes) sampling
site, at a location that represents
maximum residence time; typically in the
furthest reaches of your distribution
system, or where water is oldest.
This location is denoted as MR001.
•One dual sample set must be taken
at the highest HAA5 (haloacetic
acids) sampling site, at a location
that represents the average
residence time; typically located mid
distribution system
This location is denoted as MD001.
R309-210-10(3)(ii):
•Water system must identify which locations will be used for compliance monitoring
by alternating selection of locations representing high TTHM and high HAA5 levels
until the required number of compliance monitoring locations have been identified.
