Nathan Lunstad briefed the Board on several Division updates.
Rulemaking
The Division is currently reevaluating 100 rules based on public comments. A comprehensive
packet and timeline will be provided at the next board meeting.
Cybersecurity Plan
A cybersecurity plan was completed and submitted on June 28th, with a requirement for systems
to report any cybersecurity events within 8 hours.
Legislative Session
The Division is following up on the proposed fee bill with Senator Sandall and is seeking fee
authority. There has been substantial public input on this matter. Interim meetings are scheduled
for October and November to present this initiative.
EPA Sanitary Survey Audit
The audit received positive comments and feedback.
EPA Drought Mitigation Funding
There is federal grant funding available to assist rural and small disadvantaged communities in
preparing and planning for drought.
6. Rural Water Association Report – Dale Pierson
Dale Pierson presented the Rural Water Association Report and gave a brief overview of items the
Rural Water Association of Utah is focused on. Dale reported that the conference had 543 in
attendance. He also thanked the Board for attending the Rural Water Fall Conference.
7. Financial Assistance Committee Report
A. Status Report – Wayne Boyce
Wayne Boyce, DDW Financial Manager, provided an overview of the Status Report included in
the packet. This report covers various financial aspects such as Federal SRF, ARPA, Authorized
Projects, Lead Service Line, Emerging Contaminants, and State SRF.
Wayne highlighted the current Federal SRF availability, as this has moved from approximately -
$14.4 to -$18.6 million due to proposed projects.
State SRF availability was at about $1.5 million, as of this meeting the Division is at -$7.25
million, this includes revenue that is expected over the next year.
ARPA Deadlines were discussed, they are planning to remove funds that are not obligated or
authorized by the end of this month.
B. Cashflow – Wayne Boyce
Page 3
Cashflow projections show that the Division is at approximately $37.24 million for FY25.
Eric Franson sought clarification, noting that while the federal and state balances appear negative,
the cashflow itself is currently positive, though not as strong as in the past. Wayne provided
additional clarity, explaining that while the cash balances are indeed positive, the revenue and
expected future revenue—when compared to the authorizations already made—place the Division
in a negative position. This projection includes all projects under consideration today.
C. Project Priority List – Michael Grange
Michael Grange reported there were two (2) new projects being added to the Project Priority list:
1. Elberta Water Company scored 14 on the project priority list. Their project is to drill a
new well.
2. Mutton Hollow scored 1.8 on the project priority list. Their project is to replace the
existing mainline transit pipe with PVC pipe, approximately 300 feet, and provide new
water service pipe to meters.
The Financial Assistance Committee recommends the Drinking Water Board approve the updated
Project Priority List.
● Justin Maughan moved that the Board approve the updated Project Priority List. Corinna
Harris seconded. The motion was carried unanimously by the Board.
D. SRF Applications
i. Federal
a. Elberta Water Company - Kjori Shelley
Representing Elberta Water Company was Bill Ford, president.
Kjori Shelley presented the Elberta Water Company financial assistance request. Project details
can be found in the Drinking Water Board Packet.
The Financial Assistance Committee recommends the Drinking Water Board authorize a
construction loan of $817,000 with $246,000 in principal forgiveness to Elberta Water Company,
for a repayable loan amount of $571,000 at 0% interest for 30 years.
Board Discussion
Justin Maughan requested clarification regarding the estimated cost and the accuracy of the bids.
The engineering representative for the Elberta project explained that the estimates are based on
recent similar projects and include a 20% contingency to cover potential variations.
Corinna Harris inquired whether this would address the IPS points. The engineering representative
clarified that the plan does not include storage solutions. Bill Ford then provided historical
context, explaining that the well is over 30 years old, has been maintained, but is now failing and
Page 4
requires redrilling. They believe there has been a shift in the matrix, affecting the well's
performance.
Nathan Lunstad added that there were some questions about the numbers and emphasized the
importance of conducting system-specific sizing over a three-year evaluation. By reviewing peak
day demands, they may find they have adequate storage or could identify a genuine capacity issue.
This method provides a more accurate representation of storage needs. He also noted that there
can be exceptions within the permitting process. Bill Ford mentioned that they are working with
Rural Water on these concerns.
The engineering representative also raised the question of an existing loan for arsenic dilution and
asked if restructuring the new loan to make it more affordable over time could be considered.
Options included delaying payments until the current loan concludes or potentially combining the
two loans to ease the financial burden.
Eric Franson confirmed that adjusting payment streams and combining loans has been done in the
past. However, he expressed concern about making such decisions on the fly during the meeting
and recommended that the water system decide if they would like to explore this option. If so, the
request should be sent back to staff for further review and re-presentation at a future meeting,
instead of trying to resolve it immediately.
Bill Ford agreed that exploring these options could be beneficial and asked the Board to decide the
best course of action for moving forward.
Michael Grange suggested that the Board table the project for the time being. He recommended
that staff work with the system to come up with a refinancing plan that would be appropriate.
The Board agreed to table the project until further analysis could be conducted.
● Justin Maughan made the motion to table the item for further assessment by staff. Corinna
Harris seconded. The motion was carried unanimously by the Board.
b. Provo Water Users Association - Michael Grange
Representing the Provo Water Users Association was Jeff Budge, General Manager.
Michael Grange presented the Provo Water Users Association financial assistance request. Project
details can be found in the Drinking Water Board Packet.
The Financial Assistance Committee recommends the Drinking Water Board authorize an
$11,000,000 engineering planning and design loan for 30 years at 2.0% Hardship Grant
Assessment Fee in lieu of interest to the Provo River Water Users Association for the Deer Creek
Intake Structure replacement project. Also, the Board authorize reduced principal payments for
the first five years of the repayment period as described in the attached repayment schedule.
Board Discussion
Page 5
Jeff provided an update on the grant application PWUA submitted to the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) for $4 million. Unfortunately, the grant was not awarded to PWUA. As a result,
they are now seeking $11 million in funding. However, Jeff noted that DNR still has funds
available, and they are continuing discussions. The next DNR meeting is scheduled for October
when a final decision is expected. Jeff mentioned that they are exploring options to bond money
later this year to assist the Board with cash flow issues, and they will aim to reduce the loan
amount as much as possible with any funds received from DNR. By the time bonding is
considered, it may range between $7-8 million, depending on what DNR makes available.
Nathan Lunstad emphasized the critical nature of the infrastructure this project supports. He
explained that it would serve a significant portion of the population and provide sustainability and
security for water supplies, particularly for critical infrastructure along the Wasatch Front.
● Corinna Harris moved that the Drinking Water Board authorize an $11,000,000 engineering
planning and design loan for 30 years at 2.0% Hardship Grant Assessment Fee in lieu of
interest to the Provo River Water Users Association for the Deer Creek Intake Structure
replacement project. Also, the Board authorize reduced principal payments for the first five
years of the repayment period as described in the attached repayment schedule. Justin
Maughan seconded. The motion was carried unanimously by the Board.
c. Mutton Hollow - Cadence Hernandez
Cadence Hernandez presented on the Mutton Hollow financial assistance request. Project details
can be found in the Drinking Water Board Packet.
The Financial Assistance Committee recommends the Drinking Water Board authorize a loan of
$1,300,000 at 0% interest for 30 years with $390,000 principal forgiveness to Mutton Hollow
Improvement District.
Board Discussion
Eric Franson noted that there is a significant increase in rates, due to the fact that the rates are
currently low.
● Justin Maughan moved that the Drinking Water Board authorize a loan of $1,300,000 at 0%
interest for 30 years with $390,000 principal forgiveness to Mutton Hollow Improvement
District. Jeff Coombs seconded. The motion was carried unanimously by the Board.
ii. State
a. Grantsville - Cadence Hernandez
Cadence presented the Grantsville financial assistance request. Project details can be found in the
Drinking Water Board Packet.
The Financial Assistance Committee recommends the Drinking Water Board authorize a loan of
$3,294,000 at 2.0% interest for 20 years to Grantsville City.
Page 6
Board Discussion
Eric noted that 4.08% interest rate should not have been provided based on further review and
instead came out to 2.75%.
Representatives of Grantsville mentioned that over the next 9 years, they have scheduled an
increase of about an average of 7% per year to make sure they keep up with the rates.
● Jeff Coombs moved that the Drinking Water Board authorize a loan of $ 3,294,000 at 2.0%
interest for 20 years to Grantsville City. Justin Maughan seconded. The motion was carried
unanimously by the Board.
iii. Additional Funds (Federal)
a.High Valley Water - Heather Pattee
Representing High Valley Water was Derek Johnson with Sunrise Engineering.
Heather Pattee presented on the High Valley Water additional funding request. Project details can
be found in the Drinking Water Board Packet.
Staff recommends the Drinking Water Board authorize a loan of $458,000 with $229,000 in
principal forgiveness at 0% interest for 30 years, for a repayable amount of $229,000 to High
Valley Water Company.
Board Discussion
Derek Johnson clarified that there have been significant changes to the project's scope. Initially,
the project was planned with 4-inch-thick pavement, but Summit County is now requiring 8
inches on one section of the road and 6 inches everywhere else. This adjustment is a major factor
contributing to the cost increase. Additionally, Derek explained that the initial assumption based
on the Geotechnical (Geotech) work was that some of the existing material could be reused as
backfill in the trench. However, it has now been determined that this is not feasible, meaning
additional material will need to be imported, further contributing to the cost increase.
● Corinna Harris moved that Staff recommends the Drinking Water Board authorize a loan of
$458,000 with $229,000 in principal forgiveness at 0% interest for 30 years, for a repayable
amount of $229,000 to High Valley Water Company. Justin Maughan seconded. The motion
was carried unanimously by the Board.
b. Upper Whittemore - Heather Pattee
Representing Upper Whittemore was Justin Hamilton, Upper Whittemore Canyon Water
President.
Heather Pattee presented the Upper Whittemore additional funding request. Project details can be
found in the Drinking Water Board Packet.
Page 7
The Financial Assistance Committee recommends the Drinking Water Board authorize an
additional $719,000 in financial assistance for a total construction loan of $1,219,000 with
$609,000 in principal forgiveness to Upper Whittemore Water Company, for a repayable loan
amount of $610,000 at 0% for 20 years.
Justin Hamilton thanked the Board for considering this increase in the funding. He added that he
met with the contractors and was able to reduce costs by 7%. And adding the second chlorination
at the same time would reduce the mobilization cost.
● Justin Maughan moved that the Drinking Water Board authorize an additional $719,000 in
financial assistance for a total construction loan of $1,219,000 with $609,000 in principal
forgiveness to Upper Whittemore Water Company, for a repayable loan amount of $610,000
at 0% for 20 years. Blake Tullis seconded. The motion was carried unanimously by the Board.
c. Beaver City - Heather Pattee
Representing Beaver City was Parker Vercimak from Jones and Demille Engineering.
Heather Pattee presented the Beaver City additional funding project. Project details can be found
in the Drinking Water Board Packet.
Staff recommends the Drinking Water Board authorize a loan of $215,000 with $107,000 in
principal forgiveness, for a repayable loan amount of $108,000 to Beaver City.
Board Discussion
Eric Franson noted that the staff's recommendation differs from Beaver City's request, which
seeks full principal forgiveness for the additional funding.
Parker provided an update, explaining that when Beaver City initially requested this additional
funding, they were about a month away from closing the project. They now plan to close out the
project this week and would like the Board to consider a reduced funding amount, as they no
longer need as much contingency. As of today, the project cost overruns total approximately
$110,000. Therefore, the current request is for $120,000.
Eric clarified that the request is for $120,000 in principal forgiveness, which would avoid the need
for a second loan closing.
● Justin Maughan moved that the Drinking Water Board authorize a $120,000 increase in
funding in principal forgiveness to Beaver City. Corinna Harris seconded. The motion was
carried unanimously by the Board.
d. KCWCD New Paria - Allyson Spevak
Representing KCWCD New Paria was Mike Noel, executive director and consultant engineer.
Page 8
Allyson Spevak presented the KCWCD New Paria additional funding request. Project details can
be found in the Drinking Water Board Packet. Allyson combined presentations with KCWCD
Clark Bench since these projects are closely related.
Staff recommended the Drinking Water Board authorize an additional ARPA grant of $284,866 to
KCWCD New Paria.
Board Discussion
Eric Franson requested clarification regarding the ARPA funding. He inquired whether the funds
allocated for emergencies were the source of this specific funding.
Michael Grange explained that this new ARPA fund request is money that had been reallocated to
Desert Sage initially. During that period, they received conflicting information about ARPA
requirements, and following those requirements would have increased Desert Sage's project costs
beyond the original allocation. As a result, the Board deauthorized the ARPA grant for Desert
Sage and reallocated those funds to the State Program. The money for New Paria and Clark Bench
will now come from the ARPA funds recouped from Desert Sage.
Eric also clarified that, while ARPA funds were thought to come with "Buy American"
requirements, this funding is subject to the typical SRF requirements, which do not include "Buy
American."
Mike Noel expressed gratitude to the Board and noted that this funding is an important part of the
regionalization and agreements they have entered into. He further explained that much of the pipe
being replaced was initially assumed to be in good condition but was found to be shallow and in
need of replacement, leading to increased engineering costs.
● Corinna Harris moved that the Drinking Water Board authorize an additional ARPA grant of
$284,866 to KCWCD New Paria. Justin Maughan seconded. The motion was carried
unanimously by the Board.
e. KCWCD Clark Bench - Allyson Spevak
Allyson Spevak presented the KCWCD Clark Bench additional funding request. Project details
can be found in the Drinking Water Board Packet. Allyson combined presentations with KCWCD
New Paria since these projects are related.
Staff recommends the Drinking Water Board authorize an additional ARPA grant of $92,969 to
KCWCD Clark Bench.
● Corinna Harris moved that the Drinking Water Board authorize an additional ARPA grant of
$92,969 to KCWCD Clark Bench. Justin Maughan seconded. The motion was carried
unanimously by the Board.
f. Myton City – Kjori Shelley
Page 9
Representing Myton City were Kathleen Cooper, Mayor, and Allen Allred.
Kjori Shelley presented the Myton City additional funding request. Project details can be found in
the Drinking Water Board Packet.
Staff recommends the Drinking Water Board authorize a loan amount of $1,256,900 to the
previous authorized ARPA grant, with $377,900 in additional grant to Myton City, for a repayable
loan amount of $879,000 at 0% interest for 39 years.
Mayor Cooper thanked the Board for considering their requests. She explained they have had 3
major water line breaks.
Board Discussion
Eric Franson asked for clarification on the cost increase, inquiring whether it was solely due to
rising costs or if additional scope had been added to the project. Chris responded that the scope
had indeed been expanded. The water lines had several leaks, and they ended up increasing the
length by 3,300 feet, adding new water lines and addressing current issues with breaks.
Corinna Harris inquired about the ongoing discussions between Myton City and the Ute Tribe.
Mayor Cooper has been working diligently with the Ute Tribe for many years and feels that they
are now closer than ever to reaching an agreement.
Eric Franson expressed concern about the use of ARPA funds, noting that the funds have a
deadline for expenditure. He emphasized that if the Board approves the motion, it would
appreciate regular updates on the status of the agreement to ensure the funds are utilized in time.
Justin Maughan requested that staff closely monitor the situation. In response, Kjori mentioned
that the deadline for receiving updates on the agreement has been set for November 1, at which
point the Board will need to be informed if the agreement is signed.
● Justin Maughan moved that the Drinking Water Board authorize a loan amount of $1,256,900
to the previous authorized ARPA grant, with $377,900 in additional grant to Myton City, for a
repayable loan amount of $879,000 at 0% interest for 39 years. Jeff Coombs seconded. The
motion was carried unanimously by the Board.
iv. Other
a. Hildale – Emergency Funding
Michael Grange presented the Hildale Emergency Funding request. Project details can be found in
the Drinking Water Board Packet.
Staff recommends that the Drinking Water Board authorize a construction loan of $788,500 with
$237,500 in principal forgiveness to Hildale City, for a repayable loan amount of $551,000 at
1.73% interest for 30 years.
Board Discussion
Page 10
Eric Franson clarified that the current funding request would not resolve all of the points on the
IPS report.
Eric also questioned the difference between the proposed 1.73% interest rate and a 0% rate, noting
that it doesn't seem to make a substantial difference. He asked Michael Grange why it was
presented this way. Grange explained that there is a minimal difference between the two rates,
which is why it was structured as such.
Justin Maughan inquired about the emergency nature of the request. Michael Grange clarified that
the city has experienced low water pressure for some time, and this project aims to alleviate those
issues while addressing long-term source capacity challenges. Hildale is a unique case as it
borders Arizona and shares a water system with the state. Many of their water sources are located
in Arizona, where contamination has been found. The Division of Drinking Water has a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Arizona to regulate the entire system. This portion
of the project is being pursued now to mitigate immediate issues, even as they work on more
extensive, long-term solutions.
Eric further clarified that while this situation may not constitute an emergency in the traditional
sense, it is a problem that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.
Corinna Harris asked about the estimated completion date for the project. Michael Grange stated
that they do not currently have that information.
● Blake Tullis moved that the Drinking Water Board authorize a construction loan of $788,500
with $237,500 in principal forgiveness to Hildale City, for a repayable loan amount of
$551,000 at 1.73% interest for 30 years. Justin Maughan seconded. The motion was carried
unanimously by the Board.

4. Financial Assistance Committee Report
A. SRF Applications
i. Helper City Additional Funding Request - Allyson Spevak
Representing Helper City was Mayor Linise Peterman, and Lauren Ploeger, engineer.
Allyson Spevak presented the Helper City additional funding request. Project details can be found
in the Drinking Water Board Packet.
Drinking Water Staff recommends that the Drinking Water Board authorize a loan of $2,412,000
for 39 years at 0% interest and a grant of $300,000 to Helper City.
Mayor Peterman mentioned that Helper City is working to complete the replacement of their
transmission line, which brings water from the Scofield area down Highway 6 into Helper. They
are aiming to complete the entire project rather than approaching it in stages.
Board Discussion
Page 2
Justin Maughan asked for clarification on the original grant amount, the initial project scope, and
any components that were removed. He noted that the well rehabilitation was excluded and asked
if the remaining scope would be covered with the current funding.
Lauren Ploeger clarified that the well in question is owned by Price, not Helper. Initially, there
were plans to rehabilitate the well pump, but this was removed since Price owns the well. The
current project includes Helper's connection to that well, new valving, and a new pipeline from the
well to the transmission line. The actual pump will remain unchanged. Additionally, the storage
tanks have already been completed.
Justin also inquired about the meter replacements and SCADA system. Lauren responded that the
SCADA system is nearing completion, with a few remaining meters to be installed at the Colton
well and at the interconnect.
Shazelle Terry asked if the well is currently operational and if Price plans to rehabilitate it, given
that it will support Helper’s needs. Lauren confirmed that the well is operational and currently
only used by Helper. Originally owned by PacifiCorp, both Helper and Price had agreements to
use it as needed. Price has since purchased the well, and Helper now has an agreement with Price
for its use.
Corinna Harris asked if the well would eventually need rehabilitation. Eric Franson clarified that
while future rehab could enhance yield, it's unnecessary for this project. Helper City is also
seeking Bureau of Reclamation funds for an independent water source, and the well currently
meets their needs. Lauren added that this project, by increasing the connection pipeline size, will
eliminate the need for a booster pump to handle the local topography.
Kristi Bell asked about the additional funding requirements, specifically for purchasing water and
a potential railroad crossing. She wanted to know if these represent a significant portion of the
additional funding and what would happen if they weren't needed. She also questioned the impact
of the loan-to-grant ratio difference (an additional 65 cents per month in Option 1 vs. Option 2)
given the large amount already granted.
Lauren Ploeger explained that an interconnect was added based on a recommendation from the
regional engineer, allowing Helper or Price to access water if a source issue arises. Helper may
also need to buy water temporarily if existing lines can't stay in service during replacement due to
space constraints. She confirmed the necessity of these funds. Eric Franson added that Mayor
Peterman has initiated water rate increases in Helper and that the 70/30 grant-to-loan split,
consistent with past Board decisions, would help manage the additional debt with minimal impact
on residents' bills.
Justin Maughan made the motion that the Drinking Water Board authorize a loan of $2,412,000
for 39 years at 0% interest and a grant of $300,000 to Helper City. Shazelle Terry seconded. The
motion was carried unanimously by the Board.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Production from well 2, which is an old shallow well, started dropping off in 2023. The
well was cleaned and inspected multiple times, replaced the pump, motor and column
pipe, and treated the well with an acid treatment. Despite these efforts the production did
not return, and the well is only pumping around 30gpm. A replacement well will be
drilled within 150 feet of well 2, and it will be equipped with the new pump and motor
that were purchased for well 2. The target characteristics of the new well will be
approximately 450 feet deep, with a safe yield of 100 gpm – 150 gpm.

station,4,500 feet of 12-inch distribution line,Duchesne River crossing and 10,100 feet
of 8-inch distribution line in the amount of $3,483,838 on August 31,2022.
After a delay in completing the environmental work due to a permit issue through EPA,
they were finally able to go out to bid and bids have come in higher than the original cost
estimate.Hanna Water would like to request an additional $325,000 to cover the cost
increase to the low bidder,as well as the increased cost to provide power for the booster
station.This will increase the project cost to $3,808,838.
They would also like to request an additional advance of $75,000 for design costs to date
and the additional environmental work that needed to be done.
STAFF COMMENTS:
The local MAGI for Hanna is $30,100,which is 65%of the State MAGI.The current
average water bill is $53.64/ERC,which is 2.14%of the local MAGI.The estimated after
project water bill at full loan would be $116.62/ERC or 4.65%of the local MAGI.Based
on MAGI and average monthly water bill,Hanna Water and Sewer qualifies to be
considered for additional subsidy.

APPLICANT’S LOCATION:
Hanna Water and Sewer District is located in Duchesne County approximately 32 miles
Northwest of Duchesne.
MAP OF APPLICANT’S LOCATION:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Hanna Water and Sewer District needs to construct a booster pump station,4,500 feet of
12-inch distribution line,Duchesne River crossing and 10,100 feet of 8-inch distribution
line.The district’s boundary encompasses all of the valley with the exception of Tabiona
Town.There are several individual homes on their own wells that want to connect to
Hanna Water.
The Duchesne River crossing required a stream alteration permit that triggered EPA to
require a nationwide permit because the location was described as Indian country in a
court decision from 1954,even though there is no tribal ownership.
Additional costs are for the power company to provide power to the booster station as the
current power is not adequate for the booster station.

Executive Summary
The Drinking Water Intended Use Plan (IUP) communicates to drinking water systems, the
public, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and other State departments and
divisions how money in the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) will used and on
what terms. The IUP also provides specific details on key aspects of the program, including
recent and cumulative performance of the Utah DWSRF, our State’s short- and long-term goals,
the priority-setting process used to rank projects, lists of projects eligible to receive funding from
DWSRF, and programmatic requirements to receive funding.
Utah agrees to comply with all EPA DWSRF regulations, federal grant regulations at 2 CFR Part
200, all applicable federal cross-cutting authorities, and the specific conditions included with
each grant. Utah will apply for federal grants from the EPA as allocated in April 2024 in the
amounts listed below.
As detailed in the table above, we are not applying for the Lead Service Line Replacement
(LSLR) grant now; we may in 2025 if the demand for replacement project funds increases.
The first requirement for a system to obtain funding is to be added to the Utah Project Priority
List (PPL). See Table 4 for the PPL dated June 2024. Additions to the PPL are typically
approved each time the Utah Drinking Water Board meets for a regularly scheduled meeting. For
a summary of the DWSRF project priority list ranking criteria, please see the Description of
Criteria and Method Used for Distribution of Loan Funds section on page 20 of this IUP.
Utah will expend the requested grant amounts under the terms and conditions included with each
grant. Utah’s queue of approved projects awaiting funds is listed in Table 5. Most of these
projects are less waiting for funds, than working to meet all the federal or bonding requirements
to close on their agreements or loans. Though not visible in Table 3c except as a footnote, our
first EC project closed in September 2024!
Our approach for set-aside funds is to reserve (bank) the maximum allowed on our Base grant
and to reserve none of the BIL grants. For the Supplemental grant we are requesting the
maximum set-asides; for Emerging Contaminants that approach is moderated. See Table B-1 &
Tables 8 for more details.

SECTION A: Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF)
A-1 Background & Introduction
The federal Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program was established by the
Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Amendments of 1996. It authorizes the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to award capitalization grants to states, which in turn may provide low-cost loans and other types of assistance to eligible public water systems to finance the costs of infrastructure projects needed to achieve or maintain compliance with SDWA requirements.
States are also authorized to set aside a portion of their capitalization grants to fund a range of
activities including administration, technical assistance, source water protection, capacity development, and operator certification.
Congress made significant changes to the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund operating requirements with the Water Infrastructure Improvement for the Nation Act (WIIN) in 2016 and
America’s Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) of 2018. Furthermore, with the 2021 Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law (BIL), Congress made significant changes to the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program with the largest investment since the program’s initiation. This new investment will be released in grant years 2022-26 (5 years) and will be disbursed in three new grants—DWSRF Supplemental, Lead Service Line Replacement, and Emerging Contaminants—
and for Utah should total about $305 million. This IUP will reference these BIL grants except
Lead Service Line Replacement (LSLR), plus the traditional base DWSRF grant.
The Utah Legislature enacted Utah Code Annotated (UCA) 19-4-101 et seq. establishing the Utah Safe Drinking Water Board (Board). UCA 19-4-104 empowers the Board with rule-making authority to meet the requirements of federal law governing drinking water. UCA 19-1-105(1)(b)
establishes the Division of Drinking Water (DDW) which is tasked with the responsibility to
administer UCA 19-4-101 et seq. The Board has promulgated rules for making loans incorporating the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act requirements at Utah Administrative Code (UAC) R309-705. Additionally, the Board is authorized by UCA 19-4-104(1)(a)(v) and 19-4-104(2) to promulgate rules for certification of operators and governing capacity development in compliance with Section
1419 and 1420 of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act.
The responsibility of the Board is to develop policies and procedures for program implementation and to authorize loans in the DWSRF program. The Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) through DDW directly administers the DWSRF program. The DDW’s primary DWSRF activities include administering loans and managing and coordinating the fund.
DDW receives assistance and support from the DEQ’s Office of Support Services, the State Division of Finance, the State Attorney General’s Office, and the State Treasurer’s Office. The salaries and benefits of the employees, as well as indirect costs based on direct salary costs, are charged to the DWSRF program. The State of Utah personnel benefits plan covers employees charging time to the DWSRF program. The DWSRF program is charged a loan administration
fee by the Division of Finance.
The DWSRF Base Program, DWSRF Supplemental Program, Lead Service Line Replacement Program, and Emerging Contaminants Program require the states to deposit to the loan fund an amount equal to at least 20%, 20%, 0%, and 0% respectively of the capitalization grant. Loan repayments made by assistance recipients return to the loan fund and provide a continuing source
Page | 6 Draft September 30, 2024
of financing. The following tables summarize awards received by DDW, the allocation between
loan and set-aside funds, and the required state 20% match for the Base & Supplemental SRF grants.

Summary of DWSRF Base Grants
Page | 7 Draft September 30, 2024
Utah’s DWSRF program results through SFY24
✔ Utah’s DWSRF Fund Use Rate at the end of SFY24 was 78%. From the beginning of the program through FY 2024, the DWSRF fund has provided drinking water assistance to communities of approximately $410 million, $557 million was available. ✔ In SFY24, Utah entered into 18 binding commitments for a total of $37,366,000, including four planning agreements. These numbers exclude dozens of LSL inventory agreements totaling about $10M and a handful of planning agreements using the hardship fund. ✔ The allotment between states is based on state needs surveys. DDW was allocated one percent for the federal fiscal years 2018 through 2024. ✔ DDW will continue to contract with Rural Water Association of Utah (RWAU) to assist
small public water systems. They anticipate assisting approximately 300 water systems with
capacity development or technical assistance. ✔ The State Auditor, in compliance with the provisions of the Single Audit Act, audits the DWSRF accounts. DWSRF accounts are also subject to review and audit by USEPA, the
Office of the Inspector General. DWSRF Funds are included in Utah’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), which uses the modified accrual basis of accounting. Because funds are combined, the DWSRF assets, liabilities, and net assets are not identifiable in Utah’s CAFR. ✔ The State is required to submit an annual Intended Use Plan (IUP) to EPA as long as the Fund or set-aside accounts remain in operation. We plan to use a multi-year work plan this fall for the 2024 grants and amendments to 2022 & 2023 LSLR set-aside requests. ✔ DDW under the direction of the Board administers the loan and set-aside programs. ✔ The DWSRF program and procedures are expected to primarily continue as described in the Operating Agreement.
Emerging Contaminants (EC)
The BIL Emerging Contaminants (EC) Funding will help water systems in Utah proactively address emerging contaminants before they become regulated and increase future water system resilience. For this IUP and EC funding, emerging contaminants are defined as any contaminant
that has appeared on an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Contaminant Candidate List
Page | 8 Draft September 30, 2024
(CCL) and that is not yet regulated. This includes the following: per- and polyfluoroalkyl
substances (PFAS), algal toxins, manganese, and unregulated disinfection by-products, among other chemicals. While these contaminants are not yet regulated, they may pose a health risk, and this funding will help protect public health by enabling systems to address these issues earlier than might otherwise be feasible.
Utah expects BIL allotments of $7.5M or more per year in EC funding. All funds under this
program will be provided as grants and/or forgivable loans in accordance with the BIL, and at least 25 percent of the funding is specifically reserved for disadvantaged communities or water systems serving fewer than 25,000 people. All projects funded will be directly related to addressing emerging contaminants as defined above. Managing this EC arena became more
complex in SFY24 as PFAS regulations were introduced and initial BIL EC SDC (Small or
Disadvantaged Communities) grant allotments were disbursed.
Utah has been conducting proactive PFAS monitoring in drinking water supplies and at points of entry into the distribution across the state since 2020. To this date, a small number of water systems have tested for PFAS at a concerning level. Thus, Utah expects to fund projects
targeting PFAS. PFAS-related projects will be prioritized, given the prioritization of funding by
the BIL EC and BIL EC SDC. Utah also expects to fund projects targeting manganese, algal toxins, and other emerging contaminants.
A-2 DWSRF Loan Program
The loan program funds low-cost loans and other types of financial assistance to publicly-owned and privately-owned community water systems and non-profit, non-community water systems to
finance the costs of infrastructure projects. States are responsible for developing a priority
system that identifies how projects will be ranked for funding and a list of projects, in priority order, that are eligible for funding. A description of the criteria and the method used for the distribution of loan funds is outlined in Utah Administrative Code R309-705. AWIA extended both the length of years eligible for water systems to repay the debt and the maximum time period allowed before requiring the first payment due on the outstanding principal balance.
Loans Program Eligibility Requirements 1. Repayment must begin no later than 18 months after project completion.
2. Loan repayment must be completed no later than 30 years after the completion of the project. A disadvantaged community loan may have up to 40 years if the period of the loan does not exceed the expected useful life of the project.
3. A minimum of 15% of all dollars credited to the loan fund must provide loans to small systems, those that serve fewer than 10,000 persons.
4. Funding can be used for principal forgiveness for communities meeting the State’s “Disadvantaged” criteria. The Board has defined disadvantaged communities as those communities located in an area that has a median adjusted gross income that is less than
or equal to 80% of the State’s median adjusted gross income, as determined by the Utah State Tax Commission from federal individual income tax returns excluding zero exemption returns or where the established annual cost of drinking water service to the average residential user exceeds 1.75% of the median adjusted gross income.
Page | 9 Draft September 30, 2024
5. The 2023 DWSRF capitalization grants may require a percentage of federal funds to be
used for additional subsidization in the form of principal forgiveness, negative interest loans, or grants, or any combination of these. This will be defined in the programmatic conditions of the award and will be followed as defined.
6. FY23 grants are subject to American Iron and Steel (AIS) and Build America Buy
America (BABA). The AIS and BABA provisions require iron and steel products, and all
other materials permanently incorporated into drinking water infrastructure projects be produced in the United States. DDW intends to follow this requirement and has requested waivers for exceptions as necessary.
7. It is not anticipated that the 2023 capitalization grants will require “Green Infrastructure
Projects.”
8. Construction bids are required to use Davis-Bacon Act wage rules.
Interest and Fees 1. Federal rules section 1452 allows the state to assess interest and/or fees. Fees are calculated and paid in the same manner as interest. Fees have fewer restrictions than
interest. The Board has authorized by Rule the establishment of a fund (or account) into
which the proceeds of annual fees are placed. 2. Interest payments are deposited to the same loan fund as principal payments and have the same restrictions. 3. Hardship fees are deposited to a separate fund authorized for providing grants to water
systems through a state revolving fund (SRF) loan program.
4. Technical Assistance fees are to finance technical assistance for eligible water systems or other purposes as allowed by section 1452. This fee is part of the “effective rate” calculated using Table 2, R309-705-6. UAC R309-705-3 defines an SRF Technical Assistance Fund which means a fund (or account) that will be established for the express
purpose of providing “Technical Assistance” to eligible drinking water systems. These fees are deposited into the hardship fee fund and are tracked separately. The Technical Assistance Fund will also provide low-interest loans for technical assistance, and any other eligible purpose as defined by Section 1452 of the SDWA Amendments of 1996, to water systems that are eligible for Federal SRF loans. Repayment of these loans may be
waived in whole or in part (grant funds) by the Board whether or not the borrower is disadvantaged. 5. Origination Fee: The Utah State Legislature established an origination fee to be charged to new loans to fund the administration of the DWSRF program in accordance with UCA 73-10c-10. The set fee of 1% continues to be the rate charged by the Board. It is reviewed
annually and may change based on the needs of the program. The origination fee amount is assessed to the loan recipient as a percentage of the principal balance of the loan. It is generally paid at closing as a one-time fee, but the loan recipient may choose to pay separately or with their first pay request from the loan proceeds. All proceeds are deposited into a separate fund. Since fees will be deposited into an account outside of the
Fund, they will only be used for program administration or other purposes for which capitalization grants can be awarded under section 1452. Currently, these fees will not be used for any state match requirements. In addition, this fee will not be charged to any disadvantaged community which receives a loan subsidy provided from DWSRF funding.
Page | 10 Draft September 30, 2024
State Fund Drinking Water Loan Program
The Division of Drinking Water also operates a State-funded Drinking Water Assistance Program also known as the Water Development Security Fund, as authorized in UCA 73-10c-5. The state program provides Utah the flexibility to put together loan packages without the restrictions that accompany the federal program. The DWSRF program requires a 20% state
match which is generated from the state SRF loan program and is deposited to Fund 5210 for
each grant year before drawing federal funds and within 90 days of grant award. The state Legislature appropriated over $12M in FY24 to fund the 20% BIL state match requirements.
A-3 Set-Asides
In addition to loan assistance to eligible public water systems, the DWSRF program also
emphasizes the prevention of drinking water contamination by allowing states to reserve a portion of their grant to fund activities that encourage enhanced water system management and source water protection. The funded activities are referred to as set-aside funds.
Set-aside activities or functions include:
1. The four percent set-aside provides an allotment to administer the DWSRF and provide
technical assistance to public water systems. The calculation for the four percent administrative set-aside consists of choosing the greatest one of three options: 1) $400,000; 2) 1/5 percent of the current valuation of the fund (must be an audited fund); or 3) an amount equal to four percent of all grant awards in the fund under this section for the fiscal year.
2. Up to two percent of the allotment to provide technical assistance to small public water systems. 3. Up to ten percent of the allotment for state program management activities, including administration of the state public water system supervision program, administration of the source water protection program, development and implementation of the capacity
development and operator certification programs. 4. Up to 15 percent of the capitalization grants to assist in the development and implementation of local drinking water protection initiatives, including capacity development, wellhead protection and other state programs.

Short and Long-Term DWSRF & BIL Grant Goals
The DWSRF programs will help ensure Utah’s drinking water supplies remain safe and
affordable, and that drinking water systems are properly operated and maintained. The objectives of the DWSRF program include protecting public health, achieving compliance with SDWA, and assisting systems to provide affordable drinking water.
The EC program will help protect the public health of Utahns by addressing contaminants of concern proactively, prior to regulation. The objectives of the EC program include enabling
water systems to address emerging contaminants, supporting planning for projects addressing emerging contaminants, and educating communities about emerging contaminants. Short-Term Loan Program Goals - Base and Supplemental SRF
1. Seek the award of the FFY 2024 Capitalization Grant to secure federal funding for the
DWSRF program and follow all the grant requirements.
2. DDW is actively engaging in portfolio and programmatic financing.
3. Continue to upgrade and improve our enterprise resource planning tool Water Link and migrate our document database program from D2 to Laserfiche.
4. Engage in a more aggressive marketing process to reach water systems in need of capital
improvements that are willing and able to meet DWSRF requirements.
5. Work diligently with borrowers to secure authorization of funding from the Board and closing loans in a timely and efficient manner to DWSRF loan applicants.
6. Maintain a permanent and solvent source of funding to assist communities with financing
water systems’ capital improvements thereby assisting them to maintain compliance with
USEPA standards and promote public health.
7. Develop better cross/legacy training to improve employee development and to help with employee transitions.
8. Improve DDW relationships with drinking water stakeholders and others.
9. Continue to refine our cross connection and operator certification programs to be self-
sufficient and self-sustaining, therefore independent of DWSRF program funding.
Page | 13 Draft September 30, 2024
Long-Term Goals and the Set-Aside Goals - Base and Supplemental SRF
1. Help public water suppliers achieve and maintain compliance with Federal and State drinking water standards.
2. Continue outreach activities to ensure systems understand DWSRF assistance options to
help develop sound water systems, including managerial, technical, and financial aspects.
3. Continue to educate and support water suppliers with their cyber water protection (counter-terrorism) efforts.
4. Continue to expand and automate the Operator Certification program.
5. Continue to improve the onboarding process for new hires.
6. Continue to develop and grow the department by filling all vacant positions in the
division.
7. Complete migration of our document database program tool from D2 to Laserfiche with internal & external training.
8. Continue identifying non-compliant water systems using the ETT (Enforcement Target
Tool) to assist them in providing safe drinking water to the public. Short-Term Emerging Contaminants Program Goals: 1. Seek the FFY 2024 award to secure federal funding for the EC program and follow all
grant requirements. 2. Engage with water systems to raise awareness of both BIL EC grants and explain eligibility nuances. 3. Educate water systems on emerging contaminants, program requirements, and best
practices.
4. Provide funding for water systems to address emerging contaminants. 5. Conduct exploratory monitoring to gather data needed to estimate the scope of emerging contaminant issues in the state and prioritize water systems’ funding requests. Long-Term Emerging Contaminants Program Goals: 1. Work with water systems to reduce the public’s exposure to emerging contaminants via drinking water. 2. Develop and refine outreach and education materials explaining the health risks of
emerging contaminants for both water systems and the public.
Transfer of Funds within DEQ between the DWSRF and CWSRF
The Drinking Water Board and Division of Drinking Water reserve authority to transfer funds
from the Drinking Water SRF program to the Clean Water SRF (CWSRF) program. The amount reserved for future transfers is up to 33% of the DWSRF capitalization grant award. The table below indicates the reserved transfer amount by award year.

2022 $7,280,000 $2,402,400
2023 $4,938,000 $1,629,540
2024 $4,661,000 $1,538,130

2024 $22,985,000 $7,585,050
TOTAL $20,470,560
For SFY25, the projected amount of funds to be transferred is $0, with no short- or long-term impacts on the fund. Justification for transfers to the Drinking Water SRF program, if any,
including amount, type of funds, and fund impact, will be documented in a future IUP.
Additionally, cross-collateralization is not anticipated to be used in the Drinking Water Program as the program does not leverage funding.
Portfolio Financing
The Division of Drinking Water SRF program is in its sixth year (started in SFY2020) using
portfolio financing with its SRF loans. This process aids larger water systems with substantially large and multifaceted projects. This simplifies the process as these water systems can fund multiple projects with a single bond to build these projects over several years. With previous financing methods, a separate bond was required for each individual project.
Withholding of Funds EPA has the authority to withhold funds under certain provisions, but the DWB/DDW has complied with the following: 1. The State has authority to ensure all new community water systems and new non-
transient, non-community water systems commencing operation after October 1, 1999,
demonstrate technical, managerial, and financial capacity with respect to each drinking water regulation in effect. Utah Code Annotated 19-4-104 empowers DDW with rule-making authority to meet the requirements of Federal law governing drinking water.
Page | 15 Draft September 30, 2024
2. The State has developed and is implementing a strategy to assist public water systems in
acquiring and maintaining technical, managerial, and financial capacity. 3. The State has adopted and is implementing a program for certifying operators of community and non-transient, non-community public water systems. EPA has approved the State’s capacity development and operator certification programs.
Public Review of the IUP A draft IUP will be published on the Drinking Water website, www.drinkingwater.utah.gov in October 2024 along with a request for comments. Notice of the posting and request for public comment will be included in the DW Board’s November 2024 meeting. The draft IUP will be
available for download; the DEQ website will accept comments. Upon request, the IUP will be
e-mailed to individuals and agencies for their review and comments in October & November 2024. Comments may be made in writing addressed to the Board at 195 North 1950 West, PO Box 144830, Salt Lake City, Utah 84114-4830 or in person at a regularly scheduled Board meeting. Comments received will be reviewed and incorporated as deemed necessary into the
final IUP and the set-aside work plan (due to EPA 90 days from the grant award date).
Financial status
Initial capitalization for the Utah DWSRF program was provided from the 1997 Federal Capitalization Grant and state matching dollars. For 27 years, from 1997 through 2023, DWSRF Base & Supplemental capitalization grants totaled $298,735,500. The total loan program portion
was $240,270,701 and $58,704,155 was authorized for the set-aside programs. The State 20%
match for the same period was $50,999,400 and added to the loan program; it is funded by sales tax revenue and the Drinking Water State loan program. Through June 30, 2024, the Board has authorized and closed 202 federal projects totaling approximately $424,000,000.
DDW is applying for Base SRF Grant of $4,661,000 using the 1% allocation (less
Congressionally directed spending) and based on the appropriations adopted by Congress for
fiscal year 2024. It is anticipated $3,961,850 will be provided to the loan fund and $699,150 to set asides. The state 20% match of $932,200 will be transferred to the loan fund within 90 days of the award date. Table 2 identifies the maximum set-asides that could be requested if every possible set-aside percentage and all reserves were requested to be awarded in the 2024
capitalization grant. Though this scenario is very unlikely, it identifies all available resources
except unquantified carryover. See Table B-1 or Tables 8 for our actual requests.
DDW is applying for the Supplemental SRF Grant of $22,985,000. It is anticipated that $15,859,650 will be provided to the loan fund and $7,125,350 to set-aside funds. The state 20% match of $4,597,000 will be transferred to the loan fund within 90 days of the award date. DDW is applying for the Emerging Contaminants Grant of $7,640,000. It is anticipated that
$6,417,600 will be provided to the grant fund and $1,222,400 to set asides. There is no state
match required for this grant.

B-2 Loan Program
Utah Administrative Code (UAC) R309-705 establishes criteria for financial assistance to public drinking water systems in accordance with the Federal SDWA. It was recently updated; the current version (effective 22 May 2023) of UAC R309-705 can be found at
https://adminrules.utah.gov/public/search/drinking%20water/current%20rules. The 2024
DWSRF capitalization grant—along with carry forward funds from previous grant awards, repayments, interest and fee payments, and investment earnings—will provide the funds the Division needs to help public water systems finance needed drinking water projects.
Description of Criteria and Method Used for Distribution of Loan Funds
The complete description of the criteria and methods used for distribution of funds is outlined in
Utah Administrative Code (UAC) R309-705-6. As described in R309-705-6, the priority system assigns points to systems showing a deficiency in source, storage, treatment, and/or the

distribution system. Points are assigned based on the relative risk of each deficiency and are
divided as applicable between health risk and compliance with SDWA. The applicant’s priority points are modified by a financial factor, known as the Rate Factor, and the AGI Factor. Their calculation is shown below: Priority rating = (Average number of points received) X (Rate Factor) X (AGI Factor)
Where: Rate Factor = (Average System Water Bill / Average State Water Bill)
AGI Factor = (State Median AGI/ System Median AGI)
The priority points for demonstrated deficiencies are multiplied by the Rate Factor and AGI
Factor to arrive at a final priority rating. This method addresses financial hardships present in less affluent communities and in those already experiencing higher water rates. Upon arriving at a final priority rating for each applicant, each application is rated and added to the priority list. The Board may, at its option, modify a project’s priority rating based on the
conditions described in R309-705. The Board sets the effective interest, hardship fee and/or
technical assistance fee rate and decides the amounts allowed for principal forgiveness or grants. The most current Revenue Bond Buyer Index (RBBI) is used as the base rate. Table 2 in UAC R309-705-6 is used to determine the reduction of the interest rate (or other rate) which potentially may be reduced to zero percent.
Project Priority List (PPL)
DDW operates with a continuous project priority list. When applications are received throughout
the year, they are reviewed to ensure compliance with federal and state drinking water regulations and scored based on the rating factors indicated in the previous paragraph. Applications meeting requirements are prepared for presentation to the Board for authorization. (The Board is required by Utah law to meet at least quarterly.) Since the applications are
submitted throughout the year and may be scored and closed quickly, on occasion a water system
project may not have been included in any intended use plan. However, the continually updated PPL is posted on the division website and additions or changes are approved by the Board (see Table 4). The PPL will be used for 2024 DWSRF capitalization grants and any other funds used for SRF
projects. Projects authorized by the Board that have not been closed are entered in the section
titled “Authorized Funding.” Staff is working with these systems to meet EPA requirements to close the loans; see Table 5 for lists of authorized projects not closed (funded) by June 30, 2024.
Green Infrastructure or Green Project Reserve Since 2012, DWSRF capitalization grants do not require projects to meet a minimum percentage to be used for water efficiency, energy efficiency, green infrastructure, or other environmentally
innovative activities. Though recently proposed and currently authorized projects do not reflect a
Green % in the current PPL, DDW is always pursuing green projects including technological innovations to enhance green development.

Emergency & Project Readiness Considerations In 2023, the Board increased the funding limit for emergency and planning projects that do not require Board review from $40,000 to $100,000. This change allows the Executive Secretary and
Assistant Executive Secretary to approve funding requests more quickly for Lead Service Line (LSL) inventories, Emerging Contaminants (EC) projects, and emergencies. The Division has established an application process for LSL and EC projects. The criteria for emergency requests include any one-time, unexpected, or unanticipated disruption in the ability to provide safe and reliable drinking water, whether caused by natural disasters, supply shortages, or infrastructure
failures. Funding sources for emergencies include all available federal SRF grants plus state SRF revolving funds. Any funding authorized by the Division for such projects will be listed in the packet for each Board meeting. Some recent examples of these types of projects are three ARPA projects that were approved by the DWB Executive Secretary (or Assistant ES) at $40,000 for emergencies at Echo, Escalante,
and Thompson in 2022. In 2023 & 2024, nearly a hundred planning projects of $100,000 or less (mostly LSLR inventories) were approved by the DWB Assistant ES. In FY 2025 the Board may consider adopting a new project readiness criterion such as “Will the project be ready to begin construction within a year from the date authorized?” If not, the Board may elect to defer authorization until a later date.
Delayed Authorized Projects Table 6 identifies and explains water system projects that were scored and included in previously submitted project priority lists or were included in the 2023 Intended Use Plan. Some projects have been substantially delayed while others have been withdrawn. For others, the funding
profile has changed, and the project will not use federal DWSRF funds for a variety of reasons.

TABLE 6 - WATER SYSTEM PROJECT DELAYS
Current DWSRF Program status and shovel-ready projects
DDW staff routinely promotes the program and encourages water systems to apply for financial
assistance at conferences, in presentations and training sessions, through letters written to both water system administrative contacts and consulting engineers, and through personal visits by DDW’s Executive Director to individual towns around the state. Although DDW is aware of the need for drinking water system infrastructure improvement projects at systems throughout the
state, until ARPA & BIL these efforts had produced limited results. DDW will continue to
explore ways to better market the DWSRF loan program with drinking water systems. Many water systems in Utah qualify for and require substantial principal forgiveness, which until BIL was very limited in the Utah DWSRF Program. Increased principal forgiveness limits have encouraged decision-makers to improve their system infrastructure and maintain or achieve
compliance with regulations.
Table 7 identifies equivalency projects from the authorized table projecting a federal draw forecast to provide federal cash flow in FFY 2025. Most projects listed are either in progress or are “shovel ready” and should be closed in the summer of 2024 or the first half of calendar 2025.

Assistance for Disadvantaged Communities
Section 1452 (d) changed in 2009 to require states to provide a minimum of 20 percent additional loan subsidies in the form of negative interest, grants or principal forgiveness to benefit communities meeting the State’s definition of “disadvantaged”. Since then, there has been a variety of changes as to how much subsidization has been required each year or that may have been permitted with a
ceiling percentage as high as 50 percent of the annual DWSRF capitalization award amount. The
2024 allotments from the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2024 now mandate that the states use at least twelve percent but not more than 35 percent for additional subsidization of the 2024 allotment of the DWSRF capitalization grant. Additional authority was authorized in the America’s Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) of 2018. In AWIA’s authority, States must use 14 percent of the
funds made available in the 2024 DWSRF capitalization grant to provide additional subsidization to
eligible disadvantaged recipients. Therefore, a minimum of 26 percent to a ceiling amount of 49 percent will be included with the 2024 loans closed to provide subsidization to any DWSRF eligible applicant based on the definition adopted the State’s definition. DDW will comply with the programmatic conditions of the grant award to match the 2024 subsidization requirements.
The BIL mandates that 49% of funds provided through the DWSRF General Supplemental Funding and DWSRF Lead Service Line Replacement Funding must be provided as grants and forgivable loans to disadvantaged communities. The BIL also requires that not less than 25% of funds provided through the DWSRF Emerging Contaminants Funding be provided as grants and forgivable loans to disadvantaged communities or public water systems serving fewer than 25,000 people with the
remaining 75% of funds provided as grants or forgivable loans to qualified applicants. The SDWA requires states to establish a definition of disadvantaged communities that can receive this additional subsidization.
The Board defines a disadvantaged community as a community located in an area: 1. that has a median adjusted gross income that is less than or equal to 80% of the State’s median adjusted gross
income (MAGI) or 2. where the estimated annual cost (including loan repayment costs) of drinking water service for the average residential user exceeds 1.75% of the median adjusted gross income. The MAGI is determined by the Utah State Tax Commission (USTC) from federal individual income tax returns excluding zero exemption returns. The current metrics used for defining disadvantaged communities do not capture differences in affordability within a community or
service area. To better capture these differences, the disadvantaged community criteria as applied to Lead Service Line Replacement and Emerging Contaminant funding have been expanded to include zip codes or census tracts with a local MAGI that is less than 80% of the State’s MAGI as well as that meet or exceed 80% percentile of the USEPA demographic index. Expanding the criteria in this way not only ensures that disadvantaged areas within a community or service area are not
overlooked or disqualified from receiving needed assistance, but it also prioritizes funding for these communities. Communities meeting the criteria are eligible to receive grant funding or forgivable loans in accordance with BIL requirements. If, in the judgment of the Board, the USTC data is insufficient, the Board may accept other measurements of the water users' income (i.e. local income survey or questionnaire when there is a significant difference between the number of service
connections for a system and the number of tax filing for a given zip code or city, or when the water system claims that the MAGI (incomes) of its users is lower than the MAGI (incomes) of the larger community covered by the USTC data). The amount and type of financial assistance offered by the Board will be based on the criteria shown
in UAC R309-705-6 (2). Disadvantaged communities may receive zero-percent loans, negative
Page | 29 Draft September 30, 2024
interest rate loans, principal-forgiveness loans, or grants. Terms for each method of financial
assistance shall be determined by a Board resolution. The Board has not set any predetermined amount of DWSRF funds that may be used for principal forgiveness to disadvantaged communities. It is the Board’s intention to authorize additional subsidization only to communities that meet the “disadvantaged criteria.”
Costs Incurred After Application and Prior to Execution of the Loan Agreement Eligible project costs incurred after application to the Board and prior to execution of the loan agreement are eligible for reimbursement. Reimbursement will only be made after the loan closing.
Municipal Bond Legal Fees
The Board may purchase bonds of the applicant only if the bonds are accompanied by a legal
opinion of a recognized municipal bond counsel selected by the Board (UAC R309-705-8 (2)). The loan recipient is responsible for the legal costs. Legal costs may be paid from the loan proceeds.
Capacity Development Requirements Eligible Systems - The SDWA allows DWSRF assistance to publicly and privately owned
community water systems and nonprofit, non-community water systems other than systems owned by Federal agencies. Federal Regulations also set forth certain circumstances under which systems that will become community water systems upon completion of a project may be eligible for assistance. UAC R309-705 Financial Assistance: Federal Drinking Water Project Revolving Loan Program (effective July 1, 2011) establishes criteria for financial assistance to public drinking water
systems in accordance with a federal grant 42 U.S.C. 300j et seq., Federal Safe Drinking Water Act. The SDWA requires that loan recipients must demonstrate the technical, managerial, and financial capacity (TMF) to comply with the SDWA and not be in significant noncompliance with any requirement of a national primary drinking water standard or variance. The State will assess TMF and compliance in accordance with UAC R309-800 Capacity Development Program after loan
applications have been received. Those systems lacking in TMF or compliance may still be eligible for a loan if the loan will address the non-compliance or the system agrees to undertake feasible and appropriate changes in operations. In accordance with the AWIA changes, DDW will include in the state capacity development triennial report to the Governor a description of how the state will implement procedures to encourage the development of technical, managerial, and financial
capacity, and an asset management plan program with provisions of technical assistance. DDW intends to encourage water systems to implement asset management plans that include best practices in any training or technical assistance into the division’s capacity development methodologies.
Environmental Reviews and Categorical Exclusions The State Environmental Review Process (SERP) is described in the Operating Agreement.
The Grantee, the State of Utah, may elect to partition an environmental review or Categorical
Exclusion (Cat Ex) from environmental review. The State will follow the procedures listed below to evaluate if partitioning a project from environmental review is appropriate.
Page | 30 Draft September 30, 2024
Authority
The authority for including these procedures in the Division’s Intended Use Plan (IUP) and State Environmental Review Process (SERP) is contained in the SDWA Amendments of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-182) and the guidance provided by the EPA DWSRF Program Guidelines, document # 816-R-97-005 (February 1997). In particular, see Section IV. STATE/PROJECT LEVEL AUTHORITIES,
Subsection B. Environmental Reviews.
1. Procedures for Making Determination Cat Ex: 2. If the Division has reason to believe that the project falls within one of the categories listed under paragraph “C” and thereby may qualify for a Cat Ex from environmental review, the State will make a preliminary survey of the proposed project site(s).
3. During this survey the State will evaluate whether or not the project meets the criteria for a
Cat Ex from environmental review. 4. If the State determines the site qualifies for Cat Ex from environmental review, it will document the justification of this determination, including a listing of the dates of activities, which led to this determination, and a statement of relevant findings.
5. Even if the project qualifies for Cat Ex from environmental review according to the criteria
listed under paragraph “C”, the State may require an environmental review if the State determines that an environmental review is warranted or appropriate because of conditions found at the site or because the project is controversial.
Criteria for Categorical Exclusion from Environmental Review In order for a project to qualify for an environmental determination of Cat Ex from environmental review, the general location of the project should have been previously disturbed. Site conditions which will be evaluated in making this determination include a) how urbanized the location is, b) whether wildlife has previously been displaced, and c) whether the wildlife habitat has been
previously destroyed or replaced. The project site shall meet at least one of the following criteria: 1. A proposed water line will be placed in a roadway(s) and/or rights-of-ways where existing pipes, telephone wires, cables, or other facilities have previously been installed. 2. A proposed tank site will be located on a site with other previously constructed utility facilities on a previously disturbed site.
3. The proposed facilities will be located at a site with other existing community infrastructure; e.g. a booster station, pump house, water treatment plant, or similar facility within a previously disturbed area and which will not extend into sensitive areas in the ground or adjacent to the previously disturbed area.
Public Notice and Participation
The State will provide public notice when a Cat Ex is issued or rescinded. However, no formal public comment period need be provided prior to the Cat Ex becoming effective.
SRF Reporting
Reporting for any loans or projects closing for the SRF program is due quarterly, with a focus on SFY reporting completed annually by 30 September. This reporting is done on the Office of Water SRF (OWSRF) website: https://owsrf.epa.gov/ords/owsrf. In addition, for transparency to the public, large loans closed on non-revolving funds will be reported in the Federal Funding Accountability & Transparency Act Subaward Reporting System (FFATA/SRS aka FSRS).
Page | 31 Draft September 30, 2024
B-3 Set-Asides
Introduction. Congress has established multiple set-asides under the DWSRF for each of the Base
and BIL grants. States have the flexibility to take set-asides from the grants but must use them to
either administer the capitalization grant or meet the statutory purpose of each grant. Consistent with DWSRF regulations, states have the flexibility to reserve the authority under the 2%, 4%, and 10% set-asides to take from future capitalization grants those set-aside funds they have not included in work plans. DDW will comply with all programmatic and administrative conditions required for the
2024 grant awards.
Set-aside funding is used to: ✔ Fund established programs ✔ Fund continuing growth ✔ Fund increasing operating costs ✔ Assist, to the extent set-aside funds are available, in funding the additional staff needed to
implement new Federal rules regarding the regulation of drinking water contaminants The state will not use set-aside funds for those projects or project-related costs that are eligible or explicitly ineligible for assistance from the DWSRF. But DDW may use set-aside funds for: 1)
project planning on design costs for small systems, and 2) for costs associated with restructuring a
system as part of a capacity development strategy. Set-aside funds have been used on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis and will continue to be so. Usage is accounted for by set-aside. Unused funds are carried forward to the next fiscal year.
Final reports have been submitted to USEPA for DWSRF capitalization grants through 2020. The
2021 grant year has been fully spent, and the final reports are being prepared. DDW is currently spending 2022 (nearly complete) & 2023 grant-year funds. In anticipation of the 2024 grant year being delayed in being awarded, DDW respectfully requests authorization to receive pre-award ability to cover set-aside expenses from July 1, 2024 through October 31, 2024. The loan funds are
also treated on the FIFO basis.

TABLE 9 - SET-ASIDE RESERVES
Set-aside requests and intended uses Administrative set-aside The calculation for the four percent administrative set-aside funds, in accordance with the SRF and
BIL Grants, consists of an amount equal to the sum of any state fees collected (i.e. Loan Origination
Fees) plus the greatest one of three options: 1) $400,000, 2) 1/5 of the current fund value if the fund has been audited from an outside agency (an outside agency does not audit DDW’s funds) or 3) Four percent of all grants awarded to the fund under this section for the federal fiscal year.
DDW chooses option three above and requests $919,400 and $305,600 from the Supplemental SRF
and Emerging Contaminants BIL SRF grants. The administrative set-aside has reserves of $876,026 accumulated from previous grant years (1997-2023) which have been reserved for future use for the Base SRF program. We are also reserving the maximum set-asides from the Base grant this year. We have reserves of $1,002,880, $1,905,000, $242,200 for the three BIL grants. See Table 9 for reserve
balance details.
The administration set-aside will fund 12 to 13 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions to operate the program in SFY 2025. The budget estimate will fund salary, benefits, office space, equipment, travel, training, supplies, and an indirect allocation for SFY 2025.

Small Systems Technical Assistance DDW is requesting $459,700, and $152,800 for the 2% set-asides. This set aside is usually contracted out to a third party. The vendor of this contract will be assisting public water systems serving 10,000 people or fewer (section 1452(g) (2)) to maintain viable water systems.
DDW created an energy cost-saving handbook in 2016 which provided water system operators and
managers with multiple strategies to reduce their energy costs. Some water systems have identified energy efficiency improvement opportunities in both operations and infrastructure. RWAU is encouraging all drinking water systems to investigate energy efficiency options to identify cost savings where possible. The small and very small water systems are often unable to take full
advantage of such initiatives due to lack of knowledge, lack of money, and/or lack of proper
equipment. RWAU is a critical partner assisting DDW in responding to water system inquiries and taking action to assist water systems to be technically, managerially, and financially sound. Such assistance includes, but not limited to:
a. On-site assistance to resolve or recommend specific solutions to managerial, technical or
mechanical problems, sanitary survey deficiencies, or other compliance issues, within the requirements of the applicable rules. b. Training on state rules found under UAC R309-100 through 800. c. Emergency response to support division efforts to mitigate emergencies.
d. Representation to local officials (such as mayors, county personnel, etc.) regarding drinking
water issues and how local government can best support public drinking water systems. e. Representation to water systems on UT-WARN, including membership, emergency response credentials, emergency response, and disaster preparedness. f. County-based training and ordinance development dealing with non-public water systems in
the early stages of development. This issue is related to ensuring that when and if a non-public system may grow to become "public", the system will be able to meet applicable drinking water rules, and will not become an economic burden on itself, the county, or require supplemental funding from the state to meet such requirements.
Page | 37 Draft September 30, 2024
State Programs set-aside
The state programs set-aside total amount requests are $2,298,500 and $382,000. See Table 8 for a
detailed breakout of this set aside for the BIL grants we are requesting. The sub-categories include PWS Supervision, Capacity Development, and Source Protection. In the past, DDW has requested a subcategory of funding for its Operator Certification Program. DDW has increased the Operator Certification and the Cross Connection fees and is working toward both programs being self-
sufficient by fee revenue collected for each program. Budgeting, disbursements, and draws are also
accounted for by sub-categories. DDW does intend to use these set-asides for the current year of SFY 2025. See Table 9 for reserve balances.
PWS Supervision (augmentation) set-aside DDW is requesting $1,838,800 and $305,600 from the 2024 grant awards. The PWS Supervision
set-aside is primarily used to support DDW’s Engineering Section. Approximately 14 to 15
engineers will charge to this set-aside and four other employees for program support. Additionally, oversight of the PWS Supervision Program is funded from general funds, the Water Development Security Fund (state funds about $2M), and $1.45M from the PWSS grant. Combined totals will also be expended for division-related activities. The budget estimate will fund salary, benefits, office
space, equipment, travel, training, supplies, and an indirect allocation for SFY 2025.
Engineering tasks include water system plans and specification reviews, operating permits, waivers, water treatment plant inspections, witnessing well grouting, and proactive recommendations to help water systems ensure the public receives safe drinking water. DDW’s engineers also receive training to keep their skills diverse with new technologies in solving water system issues. Growth impacts in
the state combined with the stricter EPA standard levels SDWA amendments and associated State
and Federal regulations create a tremendous workload. Capacity Development Program DDW requests $76,400 for this program from the EC grant; we also have carryover available from
the 2022 base, supplemental, and EC grants to oversee the capacity development program.
The State of Utah has statutory authority for a capacity development program (Section 19-4-104 of the Utah SDWA). The time of two FTEs, as needed, will oversee and maintain the program. The Division is current with all reports due to the Governor and USEPA. The Division will add the language to encourage the development of technical, managerial, financial and asset management
plans to the Governor’s Triennial Report as required in the Amendments in America’s Water
Infrastructure Act (AWIA) of 2018. Source Protection Administration The SDWA Amendments of 1996 require each state to maintain a source water assessment program
for all public water systems. One and a half FTEs are dedicated to developing, implementing, and
coordinating this program.
We request $459,700 from the 2024 Supplemental grant for the source water program. The budget estimate will fund salary, benefits, office space, equipment, travel, training, supplies, and an indirect allocation for SFY 2025.
Page | 38 Draft September 30, 2024
Local Assistance (15% set-aside)
We request $466,100, $2,447,750, and $382,000 for this set-aside. The SFY 2025 budget was
estimated at $2.27M. Local assistance is divided into two sub-categories: local assistance/capacity development outreach and wellhead protection. The two sub-categories account for budgets, disbursements, and draws separately.
Capacity Development Out-reach/Local Assistance with Public Water Systems Sub-Category
We request $466,100, $2,298,500, and $305,600 from the 2024 Base & BIL grants for capacity
development, outreach, and local assistance. The amount budgeted for SFY 2025 is $2.09M.
Some of the activities DDW employees will provide and charge to this set-aside include the following: 1. Math calculations to determine dosing, volumes, flows and horsepower, etc.
2. Minor repairs on pumps, as well as, knowledge of pump curves, monitory well levels,
troubleshooting, hydraulics, motor maintenance and metering, etc. 3. Teach proper techniques for unidirectional flushing of fire hydrants, pipeline maintenance, pressure zones, valve maintenance (exercising and annual maintenance, instrumentation, tank inspections, and distribution system and treatment plants.
4. Proper disinfection techniques, and correct handling and use of various disinfection
chemicals, properties of chemicals, emergency disinfection techniques, and monitoring of residuals. 5. Safety: proper use of equipment and how to follow proper procedures, MSDS. 6. Security: proper procedures to interact with law enforcement and mitigation.
7. Provide technical training on existing and new rules, proper sampling techniques, proper
monitoring, and an understanding of sample results, reporting procedures. 8. Emergency Response: training on the Incident Command System (ICS) and how they would fit into that system. Train systems with the National Incident Management System (NIMS), response protocols, mitigation, setting up table-top exercises, maintaining a plan, flushing
and disinfection.
9. Cross Connection Control assistance to help the water system properly assemble, avoid hazards, resolve physical deficiencies during a sanitary survey and follow State guidelines on managing a program.
DDW understands all charges by employees need to have direct interaction with the water systems
with some form of training or technical assistance. Rural Water Association of Utah also has some tasks relating to direct interaction with the water systems and has been allocated $65,000 in their contract for this specific purpose.
Wellhead Protection Sub-Category
DDW requests $149,250, and $76,400 in funding for this category from the 2024 grants. The budgeted $179,800 for SFY 2025 will cover expenses for salary, benefits, office space, equipment, interactive map upgrades, and an indirect allocation. One or two employees will oversee the implementation and maintenance of GIS activities. Maintenance of the source protection zone geo-
database is an ongoing project as new water sources are developed, and existing source protection
zones are modified. One or two employees will prepare source water assessments for groundwater sources, review source protection plans for new sources, and review updated plans for existing
Page | 39 Draft September 30, 2024
sources. This sub-category budget will continue to cover expenses to address a backlog of wellhead
updates that need review.

Re: Adequacy of State Law Enabling Utah to be Eligible for Federal Safe
Drinking Water Act, 42 U.S.C. 300J-12 et seq., Capitalization Grants
(Legal Files Open Matter #818.3192)
Dear Mr. Lunstad:
This letter is in response to your request dated February 1, 2024, for an updated opinion
concerning State authority to establish and operate a Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund
(“DWSRF”) program as prescribed under the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act (Section 1452,
“SDWA”), 42 U.S.C. §§ 300j-12 et seq., (40 CFR Part 35, Subpart L). Congress created a Financial
Assistance Program for water system capital improvements and technical assistance. The
Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) makes grants to states to capitalize state revolving loan
funds.1 To be eligible to receive capitalization grants, a state must establish a drinking water
treatment revolving loan fund. The America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 (“AWIA” P.L.
115-270) revised the DWSRF provision of the SDWA.2 The AWIA extended infrastructure loan
terms; required the provision of additional subsidies to state defined disadvantaged communities;
and, expanded source water protection eligibility under local assistance set asides.
The Utah Legislature has enacted Utah Code §§ 19-4-101 et seq., which establish the Utah
Division of Drinking Water (“DDW”) and the Utah Drinking Water Board (“Board”). Utah Code
§§ 19-4-104 and 105 empower the Board with rulemaking authority to meet the requirements of
the Federal SDWA. The Board has promulgated rules for making loans in Utah Admin. Code
R309-705.

2 March 25, 2019, memo from Jennifer L. McLain to Water Division Managers.
Federal Safe Drinking Water
Act Capitalization Grants
Page 2
In 1983, the Utah Legislature amended the Water Development Security Fund to provide
for the use of monies in the account to make loans for drinking water and wastewater projects. See,
Laws of Utah 1985, Chapter 123. Therefore, pursuant to that amendment, two subaccounts exist
within the Security Fund: (i) one for wastewater projects; and, (ii) one for drinking water projects.
In 1997, Senate Bill 75 established a “State Revolving Fund for Drinking Water Projects
Subaccount,” as a subaccount in the Drinking Water Security Account.
In 2001, the Legislature substituted the language an “enterprise fund” for a “restricted
account within the General Fund” and substituted “security fund” for “security account”
throughout the statute. In 2007, House Bill 99 (Water Loan Program Amendments) amended the
loan and grant programs for water projects administered by the Utah Department of Environmental
Quality. The Drinking Water Security Subaccount, Utah Code § 73-10c-5(3), now consists of four
subaccounts: (i) the Drinking Water Loan Program Subaccount; (ii) the State Revolving Fund for
Drinking Water Projects Subaccount; (iii) the Hardship Grant Program for Drinking Water
Projects Subaccount; and, (iv) the Drinking Water Origination Fee Subaccount.
The Revolving Fund for Drinking Water Projects Subaccount consists of: (i) money
appropriated to the subaccount by the Legislature; (ii) money received from the Utah Drinking
Water Loan Program Subaccount and applied to meet match requirements for federal funds under
the Federal SDWA; (iii) money received from the repayment of loans made by the Board from the
State Revolving Fund for Drinking Water Projects Subaccount; (iv) money deposited in the
subaccount under any other law; (v) money received under and subject to the restrictions of the
Federal SDWA; and, (vi) all investment income derived from money in the State Revolving Fund
for Drinking Water Projects Subaccount. The Drinking Water Origination Fee subaccount consists
of an origination fee paid under § 73-10c-10. In 2010, § 73-10c-10 was amended to allow the
Board to establish an origination fee for a federally funded loan. In 2011, House Bill 186 (Utah
Code Technical Amendments) made certain technical (non-substantive) changes.
Pursuant to Utah Code §§ 19-4-104 and 105, the Board has promulgated rules for making
loans incorporating the requirements of Utah Code §§ 73-10c-1 et seq., in Utah Admin. Code
R309-705, (Financial Assistance: Federal Drinking Water State Revolving Fund in accordance
with a federal grant established under 42 U.S.C. §§ 300j-12 et seq.).
This Office certifies that the capitalization grant application and operating agreement
submitted to the EPA for Drinking Water State Revolving Fund capitalization grants are consistent
with State law and that the Board and the DDW are authorized to bind themselves to the terms of
the capitalization grant agreement. Ad described above, the Board and the DDW are
instrumentalities of the State of Utah and are authorized to: (i) enter into capitalization grant
agreements with the EPA; (ii) accept capitalization grant awards made under Section
1452(a)(1)(A) of the Federal SDWA; and, (iii) otherwise manage the Fund in accordance with the
requirements and objectives of the Federal SDWA. As the Director of the Environment/Health and
Federal Safe Drinking Water
