Subject: Water System Violation –Diamond Hills Association– UTAH26073

Heath Johnston:

The Division of Drinking Water records show this water system is in violation of the State of Utah Public
Drinking Water Rules as follows:

During the month of November 2024, Diamond Hills Association exceeded the total coliform treatment technique
trigger specified in R309-211-8(1) and then failed to conduct and submit the required Level 1 Assessment to the
Division and take appropriate corrective actions within the timeframe specified in R309-211-8(2) and (3). This
violation results in the addition of 50 points to this water system’s Improvement Priority System Report (IPS) and
could adversely affect the rating of this water system.

According to our records, this water system received one routine total coliform positive in November 2024. No
repeat samples were taken after this routine total coliform positive was received. This triggered a Level 1
Assessment requirement. Despite email reminders sent to complete the Level 1 Assessment, it was not completed.

As a result of this Tier 2 violation, the system must provide the public notice as soon as practical, but no later than
30 days after the system learns of the violation. If the public notice is posted, the notice must remain in place for
as long as the violation or situation persists, but in no case for less than seven days, even if the violation or
situation is resolved (see R309-220-6(1)(a) and R309-220-6(1)(b)). This public notice requirement cannot be
waived once a violation occurs. Proof of public notification must be provided to the Division at
([e-mail]) within 30 days of notifying the water system customers and resubmitted each quarter;
the violation remains unresolved.

To return to compliance and update the violation from "failure to complete Level 1 Assessment form" (50 IPS
points) to a "reporting violation" (15 IPS points) on the IPS report, you need to complete a Level 1 Assessment.
This assessment should describe any detected sanitary defects, corrective actions completed, and a proposed
timetable for any corrective actions not yet completed. The assessment form may also indicate if no sanitary
defects were identified. Please contact Sitara Federico at [phone] or [e-mail] if you have
questions or need assistance.
