Wasatch Peaks Ranch LLC owns and operates an 18-hole golf course within Wasatch Peaks Ranch Utility District, scheduled to open to their members on June 15, 2024. Regrettably, unforeseen circumstances, specifically a court-ordered injunction lasting a total of 63 days, has hindered the installation of permanent water infrastructure originally intended to provide potable drinking water to our customers. The affected area includes a central building on the course serving as a weather shelter and restroom for their members. Although guests are not expected to consume water directly from the taps in this building as bottled water will be readily available, we would prefer a potable water source as an added precaution. The building is designed to be connected to a permanent distribution main, supplying potable drinking water. However, due to construction delays related to a 180-foot steel bridge and approximately 3300 feet of distribution piping, we seek your authorization to obtain a water hauling permit for the 2024 and 2025 golf seasons. The golf season each year spans from mid-June to mid-October (weather dependent). This permit will enable us to import potable drinking water to the building, ensuring that the needs o f our customers are met while the permanent water infrastructure is still under construction. It is important to note that we anticipate the completion of the water infrastructure to the building fall of 2025. This timeline aligns with the conclusion of the 2025 golf season. We are committed to ensuring that our customers have access to safe and clean water throughout this period. After a comprehensive review of the Utah Division of Drinking Water's Guidance for Hauling Drinking Water, we are confident in our ability to diligently adhere to all stipulated requirements and guidelines. A fire hydrant connected to our phase one distribution system located in the south village will be used to fill an approved water truck for transport. This distribution system is a part of the already permitted water system (UTAH15044). We acknowledge the importance of compliance with established regulations to ensure the safety and well -being of our community members. We sincerely appreciate your attention to this matter and kindly request your approval for the water hauling permit. Should further information be required or if you wish to discuss this matter in more detail, I am available for a meeting or discussion at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Nate Bell District Manager Wasatch Peaks Ranch Utility District 801-688-2609 Nbell@wprutility.com
