Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION – Failure to Fix Significant Deficiency Treatment Technique
Violation, Water System #UTAH29107

Tyson Jackson:

Our records indicate that your system is in violation of the State of Utah Public Drinking Water Rules as
follows:

On September 2, 2022, Pole Patch Water System received two significant deficiencies. The system was
notified of these deficiencies on September 13, 2022. Both deficiencies remain uncorrected:

S033 Com system without naturally flowing sources lacks backup power for at least one water source
V009 Storage tank lid lacks a functioning gasket between the lid and frame ST001
Utah Public Drinking Water Rules require all significant deficiencies to be corrected within 120 days of the
date of notification or the system must enter a corrective action plan (CAP) with the Division to address
the significant deficiencies as specified in R309-215-16(3)(a)(v). The system chose not to request a
corrective action plan or submit a correction for this deficiency within the given timeframe. This
results in the system being assessed a treatment technique violation in accordance with R309-215-
16(4)(a) and the assessment of 50 Improvement Priority System (IPS) points to the system’s IPS
Report. Be advised this could adversely affect your water system’s rating (R309-400).
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 deficiencies remain unresolved.
If any of the above deficiencies have been corrected, please complete the enclosed IPS Deficiency
Correction Notice and submit the information to the Division at [e-mail] immediately. We ask

a patch of gravel in the
bottom of the pit is a type of
french drain that will drain
water, but there is no known
drain to daylight. The
subdivision does have some
flooding issues due to lack of
storm drains, but it is unclear
whether or not the pump
station house is vulnerable or
not to these flooding issues.
