Subject: Initial Order for New Public Water System for Trappers Crossing Subdivision
UTAH29123
Dear Melissa Porterfield:
According to the information provided in the New Public Water System (PWS) Form submitted on or
about August 21, 2024, the Trappers Crossing Subdivision Water Company has 13 residential
connections, a well, storage tank, pump station and chlorinator. With this information, it has come to the
attention of the Utah Division of Drinking Water (the “Division”) that Trappers Crossing Subdivision
Water Company, a Utah non-profit corporation, is the owner and/or operator of a public water system as
explained in the Utah Safe Drinking Water Act and the Utah Public Drinking Water Rules in R309-100-4.
As a result, the Director of the Division of Drinking Water is required by law to initiate a formal
administrative process to recognize the system as a new public water system and to ensure that it
complies with both state and federal drinking water regulations. As part of that process, I have attached an
Initial Order for New Public Water System explaining the requirements for the system.
The Division understands that compliance with state and federal legal requirements can involve
significant administrative and financial burdens for public drinking water systems, especially new
systems. Those regulations are designed to ensure that public water systems are able to provide safe and
reliable drinking water to the people they serve. Coming into compliance with state and federal
regulations can require time and resources. Utah’s public water systems, including your system, provide
essential services that directly impact human health and welfare.
The attached order includes contact information for Division staff with expertise in the rules and
regulations that apply to public water systems. Containers for samples are available from all certified
laboratories. While the Division cannot recommend a specific laboratory, we have enclosed a list of
certified laboratories that perform water testing.
In all correspondence with our office and the laboratories, please indicate the public water system
number. The number for your water system is UTAH29123. Clearly mark the system number on all
samples. Enclosed is the inventory list for your system. Please carefully review this report and return it to
our office with any corrections.
Enclosed is also a copy of your Improvement Priority System (IPS) Report. IPS points are used to rate
and track a water system’s compliance with state and federal drinking water regulations. This report
Trappers Crossing Subdivision Water Company
Page 2 of 2
November 12, 2024
indicates several dormant deficiencies associated with the required actions listed in the attached Order.
These dormant deficiencies serve as a tracking tool and reminder; they do not affect the water system’s
points or rating unless the due date for the required task has expired. The dormant deficiencies are
removed from our database when the PWS completes the required tasks and notifies the Division.
The Division has online tools to help manage your water system, including:
●Waterlink.utah.gov: WaterLink is an online tool that allows public water systems to access
current system information, including the system’s inventory, monitoring schedules, IPS
Report, operator records, and the system’s Bacteriological record for the last 12 months. To
get full use out of these tools, you will need to create a Waterlink portal account. You can do
this by navigating to the Public/Portals menu on the top right side of the waterlink.utah.gov
home page and selecting the Portal. For help creating a WaterLink Portal account, please
contact Mz. (Tammie) Allen at [phone] or [e-mail].
●Eqedocs.deq.utah.gov: Each water system’s public records are available here. These records
may include previous monitoring results, Division correspondence, former Consumer
Confidence Reports, and other documents related to the water system. Browse to your water
system listed alphabetically under “County” to see what we have on record for your system.
Please call the Division at [phone] if you have any questions.
We are here to help you through this process. If you have any questions about this Order, please contact
Colt Smith at [phone] or [e-mail]. To contest or appeal this Order, please contact Bret
Randall of the Attorney General’s office at [phone] or [e-mail].

UTAH DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
DIVISION OF DRINKING WATER
In the Matter of:
Trappers Crossing Subdivision, a Utah
Public Water System (UTAH29123)
INITIAL ORDER FOR NEW PUBLIC
WATER SYSTEM
Docket No. UTAH29123-2024-01
This INITIAL ORDER FOR NEW PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM (“Order”) is issued by the
Director of the Utah Division of Drinking Water (“Director”), under the Director’s legal authorities
described below. This Order is issued to Trappers Crossing Subdivision Water Company, a Utah
non-profit corporation, in its capacity as the “Supplier,” who is legally responsible for the water
system.
STATUTORY AND REGULATORY AUTHORITY
1.In 1974, Congress enacted the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, codified at 42 U.S.C. §
300f et seq., as amended. 42 U.S.C. § 300g-2 allows states to achieve primary enforcement
responsibility after the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has determined that the
state has adopted and can implement a state program that is no less stringent than the federal
public drinking water program (“Primacy”).
2.The Utah legislature has enacted the Utah Safe Drinking Water Act, codified at Utah Code
§ 19-4-101, with the intent of achieving Primacy.
3.Utah Code § 19-4-104 authorizes the Utah Drinking Water Board (the “Board”), among
other things, to make rules regulating public water systems in the state of Utah. Utah Code
§ 19-4-104(1)(c)(vi) charges the Board to “meet the requirements of federal law related or
pertaining to drinking water.” The Board has promulgated the Utah Public Drinking Water
Rules, codified at Utah Administrative Code (“UAC”) R309.
4.In 1980, the EPA Administrator determined, in accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 142.11, that
the Utah public drinking water program met the federal requirements for Primacy. See 45
Fed. Reg. 6647 (January 29, 1980). In accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 142.17, the EPA
Administrator has reviewed, and continues to review annually, the Utah public drinking
water program to evaluate its continuing compliance with the requirements set forth in 40
C.F.R. Part 142.
5.The Board has defined public water systems under the Utah Public Drinking Water Rules,
UAC R309-110-4.
6.UAC R309-100-7 requires the Director to “assign a rating to each public water supply in
order to provide a concise indication of its condition and performance” in accordance with
Initial Order for New Public Water System - Trappers Crossing Subdivision - UTAH29123 Page 2 of 11
R309-400. This rule is generally known as the Improvement Priority System (“IPS”) rating
system.
7.The IPS rating system “is a point system used by the division to evaluate a public water
system’s performance and compliance with the drinking water rules in Title 309,
Environmental Quality, Drinking Water.” UAC R309-400-3(1). Under the IPS rating
system, each public water system is assigned a rating “to characterize the water system’s
compliance with drinking water rules and overall operation and performance.” UAC R309-
400-3(2). The IPS rating system is “used by the division to assign compliance ratings to
public water systems and to prioritize enforcement action based on points assessed for
noncompliance with drinking water rules.” UAC R309-400-1(1).
8.UAC R309-400-5 provides that a water system’s IPS rating shall be assigned “based on
the total number of points assessed for noncompliance” based on a point system established
by the Board. Generally, the number of points represents the threat to the quality of the
water and therefore public health.
9.UAC R309-400-4(1)(a)(ii) sets the maximum number of points any given type of system
may have before it is rated by the Director as “Not Approved” status. For systems
exceeding the point threshold, the Director is required to issue a “Not Approved” rating.
The thresholds are as follows: (i) for community water systems, 150 points; (ii) for non-
transient, non-community water systems, 120 points; and (iii) for non-community water
systems, 100 points.
10.UAC R309-400-4 allows the Director to assess points against public water systems upon
their failure to comply with Division directives and orders.
11.UAC R309-400-5 allows the Director to rate any public water system as “Not Approved”
at any time if an immediate threat to public health exists.
12.UAC R309-400-5 provides that a public water system may qualify for a “Corrective
Action” rating for its public water system upon submission of a written agreement stating
a willingness to comply with the requirements set forth in the Rules and complying with
other requirements.
13.Pursuant to Utah Code § 19-4-106(d), the Director may enforce rules promulgated by the
Board through the issuance of orders. See also UAC R309-100-8.
14.Utah Code § 19-4-107 provides that upon discovery of any violation of a rule or order of
the Board, the Director shall promptly notify the supplier of the violation, state the nature
of the violation, and issue an order requiring correction of that violation.
15.Utah Code § 19-4-109 provides that any person who violates the Act or a rule or order
made or issued pursuant to the Act may be subject to an administrative penalty of up to
$1,000 per day of violation or a civil penalty of up to $5,000 per day of violation.

35.The dates set forth in the Order section may be extended in writing by the Director, in the
Director’s sole discretion, based on the Supplier’s showing of good cause. Good cause for
an extension generally means events outside of the reasonable control of the Supplier, such
as force majeure, inclement weather, contractor or supplier delays, and similar
circumstances. However, the Director expects the Supplier to employ reasonable means
to limit foreseeable causes of delay. The timeliness of the Supplier’s request for an
extension shall constitute an important factor in the Director’s evaluation.
COMPLIANCE AND PENALTY NOTICE
36.All violations of the Utah Safe Drinking Water Act, the Drinking Water Rules, and this
Order will be strictly enforced during the time that this Order remains in effect. The Utah
Safe Drinking Water Act, Utah Code § 19-4-109, provides that any person who violates a
rule or order made or issued pursuant to the Act may be subject to an administrative penalty
of up to $1,000 per day of violation or, in a civil proceeding, to a civil penalty of up to
$5,000 per day of violation. Under certain circumstances of willfulness or gross negligence,
a Utah district court judge may impose an additional penalty up to $5,000 per day of
violation. Under the act, each day may be considered a separate violation. A violator may
also be subject to injunctive relief pursuant to Utah Code § 19-4-107(2).
CONTEST AND APPEAL RIGHTS
37.This Order is effective immediately and shall become final unless contested in writing
within thirty (30) days of the date of its issuance. This Order may be contested by filing
a written Request for Agency Action in accordance with UAC R305-7. Filing a request for
a hearing or a general statement of disagreement is not sufficient under Utah Code § 63G-
4-201(3)(a) to preserve your right to contest this Order. A request for Agency Action must
include the information specified in UAC R305-7. Contest proceedings are also governed
by Utah Code Section 19-1-301. Failure to file a Request for Agency Action within the
period provided waives any right of administrative contest, reconsideration, review, or
judicial appeal. An extension is only available under UAC R305-7.
38.To contest this Order, the Supplier must respond in writing and must comply with the
applicable procedural requirements found at UAC R305-7 and with the applicable
requirements of the Utah Administrative Procedures Act, including Utah Code §§ 63G-4-
201(3)(a) and (b). The Supplier’s written Request for Agency Action must be filed and
served in accordance with UAC R305-7-104(5) within 30 days of the date of issuance of
