Dear Chad M Mcpherson:
The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the updated Drinking Water Source Protection (DWSP) plan for the Up and Low Narrows Spring, Up and Low Netties Spring, and Black
Willow Spring from your consultant, James Saunders with Jones & DeMille Engineering, on November 11, 2023
We have completed our review of the updated DWSP plan and find that the plan basically complies with the applicable portions of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water
Systems. The Division concurs with this updated plan. We commend you for establishing a program to protect these sources from present and future contamination. This plan must be updated
often enough to ensure that it reflects current conditions in your protection zones.
The due date for submitting the next updated plan is December 31, 2029.
