Subject:Concurrence, Updated Drinking Water Source Protection Plan for Well No. 2 and Well No. 1 Repl1; Winchester Hills Water Co; Water System #27049, Source No. WS002 and WS004
Dear Dal Robert Liston:
The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the updated Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plan for Well No. 2 and Well No. 1 Repl1 from you on July 1, 2022.
We have completed our review of the updated DWSP plan and find that the plan basically complies with the applicable portions of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water
Systems. The Division concurs with this updated plan. We commend you for establishing a program to protect these sources from present and future contamination. This plan must be updated
often enough to ensure that it reflects current conditions in your protection zones.
The due date for submitting the next updated plan is December 31, 2028.
Note
In future updates please include a specific date of when the water system implemented their management strategies. This should be included either in the implementation section or in
the recordkeeping documentation. This helps indicate that the water system has/is implementing its management strategies regularly.RemindersAs stated in R309-600 and 605: Implementing
DWSP Plans - Each Public Water System (PWS) shall begin implementing each of its DWSP Plans in accordance with the implementation schedule within 180 days after submittal if the plan
is not disapproved. Be prepared to describe these efforts in your next update, which should include documentation of how the land management strategies identified for existing and future
potential contamination sources were implemented. Your updated plan will be disapproved, and 25 Improvement Priority System (IPS) points will be assigned for failure to comply with this
requirement.As stated in R309-600 and 605: Recordkeeping - As a DWSP Plan is executed, the PWS shall document any land management strategies that are implemented. Please provide actual
copies of memoranda of understanding, public education programs, bill stuffers, newsletters, or other correspondence documenting the implementation of each land management strategy as
it occurs, in this section of your updated plan.Please contact Noah Zorsky at [phone] or via email at [e-mail] if you have questions or concerns about the review of your
DWSP plan. To help us serve you more efficiently, please use the water system number (27049) in your correspondence.
