In the Matter of:
Upper Whittemore Water Company Public
Water System
Stipulated Order to Disinfect
Docket No. UTAH25136-2024-01
This Stipulated Order to Disinfect (“SOTD”) has been issued by the Director of the Utah
Division of Drinking Water (“Director”) under the Director’s legal authorities described below.
This SOTD has been agreed to by Upper Whittemore Water Company, a Utah non-profit
corporation, in its capacity as the “Supplier” who is legally responsible for the 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 (the “Act”), 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.
3
6. UAC R309-100-7 directs 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
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 R309-400-4(1)(a)(ii) directs the Director to establish “the point thresholds for
assigning an Approved or Not Approved rating for each type of water system.” The
Director may issue a “Not Approved” rating for systems exceeding the point threshold.
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.
9. UAC R309-400-4(4) allows the Director to assess points against public water systems
upon their failure to comply with Division directives and orders.
10. UAC R309-400-5(1)(b)(ii) allows the Director to rate any public water system as “Not
Approved” at any time if an immediate threat to public health exists.
11. UAC R309-400-5(1)(c) provides that a public water system may qualify for a “Corrective
Action” rating for its public water system “based on a current, written agreement with the
division to resolve underlying noncompliance according to a compliance schedule.”
12. Pursuant to Utah Code § 19-4-106(d), the Director may enforce rules promulgated by the
Board by issuing orders. See also UAC R309-100-8.
13. Utah Code § 19-4-107 provides that upon discovery of any violation of the Act or a rule 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.
14. 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.
FINDINGS
The Director makes the following Findings for purposes of this SOTD:
4
15. There exists approximately five miles east of Mapleton in Utah County, Utah, a drinking
water system known as the Upper Whittemore Water Company (the “System”) that serves
a population of approximately 128 persons. The System generally includes two active
springs (Crandall Canyon Spring-WS001 and Bathtub Spring-WS003), one spring
inactivated due to quantity/quality issues (Fern Basin Spring-WS002), two active concrete
storage tanks totaling 50,000 gallons of storage, two proposed chlorinators, and
independent distribution system serving approximately 21 residential connections.
16. The Supplier (defined above) is the owner and/or operator of the System and is therefore
legally responsible for the System and for compliance with applicable laws, rules, and
regulations.
17. The System is a public drinking water system within the meaning of the Utah Safe
Drinking Water Act and the Utah Public Drinking Water Rules.
18. The System qualifies as a transient non-community under the Utah Public Drinking Water
Rules. The maximum number of IPS points allowed for this type of system is 100.
19. The Master IPS Report attached hereto as Exhibit A describes several violations and
deficiencies associated with the System, which form the basis of this SOTD (the
“Violations and Deficiencies”). Supplier agrees and stipulates that the information
contained in the attached IPS Report is true and correct as of the date shown on the Master
IPS Report.
20. Monthly Assessment source sampling began in July 2019 for Crandall Canyon Spring
(WS001) and Bathtub Spring (WS003). A total of thirty-three samples were taken at
Crandall Canyon Spring. Nine of those samples were total coliform positive, E. coli
absent. The other twenty-four samples were total coliform absent. A total of thirty-eight
samples were taken at Bathtub Spring (WS003). Three of those samples were total
coliform positive and E. coli positive. Four of those samples were total coliform positive,
E. coli absent. The other thirty-one samples were total coliform absent. Monthly
Assessment source sampling began in June 2020 for Fern Basin (WS002). A total of
twelve samples were taken at Fern Basin. Of those twelve samples were taken three were
total coliform positive, E. coli absent. The other nine samples were total coliform absent.
21. On October 4th, 2024 Utah Division of Drinking Water Scientist Brian Pattee conducted a
Level Two Assessment of the Upper Whittemore Water Company.
(a) This assessment concluded that EC+ samples at Bathtub Springs (WS003)
could have been sampler error as the fence surrounding the collection area
and downgradient of the two spring boxes had been compromised.
Additionally, Pattee found evidence of cattle grazing within the fenced area.
The sampler would have walked through this area to the spring box to
collect samples, then opened the spring box and using a dip method to
collect the sample, these sample methods combined with the surrounding
cattle fecal matter, could have potentially contaminated samples resulting in
positive coliform samples.
5
(b) Crandall Canyon Spring’s (WS001) fencing was intact, and there was no
evidence of cattle grazing. However, the same challenges exist in collecting
samples.
(c) No new deficiencies were identified during this assessment.
22. The sample results detailed in item #20, above indicate the Crandall Canyon Spring
(WS001), the Fern Basin Spring (WS002), and Bathtub Spring (WS003) are low-quality
groundwater sources that do not consistently meet standards of bacteriologic quality.
Based on your sample history, Upper Whittemore Water Company is subject to
requirements to provide continuous secondary disinfection of the Crandall Canyon Spring
(WS001), the Fern Basin Spring (WS002), and the Bathtub Spring (WS003) when those
sources are active and may be subject to additional treatment if further water quality
sampling results indicate that the source requires primary disinfection. Upper Whittemore
Water Company is also subject to requirements to provide continuous secondary
disinfection throughout the entire distribution system.
