Subject: Operating Permit Request: Open Sky Project #15287 – System # 27-108

Dear Paul Wright,

Attached is the check list for an operating permit that finds applicable items acceptable. I certify that
all changes made necessary during construction were in accordance with applicable Utah
Administrative Code, R309-500 through R309-550. The Contractor completed the items needed to
comply with the code. A copy of the as-builts have been sent to Bygnal, the owner.

The following is a list of changes from the approval of project 15287:

#1. Abandonment of the 550-gallon Norwesco tank (identified as ST003 in the Division’s database)
located on the upper mesa and the two 1.5” water lines that were above ground going up and down
the steep rocky terrain. The water lines were dug up where they came out of the ground, cut,
connected back together, and buried. All water lines in use are buried underneath the ground.

#2. The existing booster pump is located in an enclosure with drainage and pressure gauges
(identified as PF002 in the Division’s inventory). This is a 2-horsepower pump with 17 gallons per
minute (gpm) capacity that pulls water from the existing system that used to deliver water to the
550-gallon tank on the top of the mesa. This booster pump will stay and transition to a secondary
backup booster pump for the new on-demand pump installed in the utility shed adjacent to the
identified rental camp with low water pressure. A new plumbing diagram will achieve this (Please
see Existing water booster pump in box enclosure detail), including a bypass line and a 60/40
pressure switch to control this pump to maintain water pressure in the 22-gallon bladder tanks
located in the utility shed adjacent to the rental unit, in case the primary booster pump fails.

#3. Installed is a new 2-horsepower booster pump with a 22-gallon-per-minute (GPM) capacity in
the utility shed adjacent to the rental unit with low water pressure. Additionally, two 22-gallon fiber-
wound pressure tanks are installed inside the enclosure. This system will be the primary booster
pump for this rental unit. A new Inventory identification number will be needed from the division.
Please see the water details on the submitted plan.

#4. We had a local fabrication company weld shoebox lids for the 5000-gallon and 550-gallon tanks
(located in the well building near the water treatment plant). We have them and they are ready to be
installed on the two tanks.

Attached are the following items:
• Water Sample Results
• FlexLite Series Pressure Tank Cut Sheet
• E.Sybox Electronic on demand Booster Pump
• E.Sybox NSF Certification

Please call me at 435-680-0816 if you have questions or need further documentation.

Sincerely,
Pro Value Engineering

Water System Name: Virgin Sky System Number: 27-108
Project Description: Open Sky – Project #15287 File Number:
Items 1 through 8 below must be submitted to the Division and found to be acceptable prior to
operating permit issuance. However, distribution lines without booster pumps may be placed into
service prior to submitting all of the items if a professional engineer (PE) responsible for the entire
water system has been identified to the Director and has received items 1 through 4 below. [In this
case, a public water system will submit all items needed to obtain an Operating Permit for each distribution
system project after the new water lines have been placed into service as determined by the water system’s
designated PE.]

☒ 1. Certification of Rule Conformance by a PE that all conditions of Plan Approval have
been accomplished, and if applicable, changes made during construction were in
conformance with rules R309-500 through 550
☒ 2. As-built or record drawings incorporating all changes to approved plans and
specifications, unless no changes were made to the previously submitted and approved
pre-construction drawings
☒ 3. Confirmation that as-built or record drawings have been received by the water system
☒ 4. Evidence that bacteriological samples have been collected to verify proper flushing and
disinfection in accordance with the appropriate ANSI/AWWA Standards:
☒ ANSI/AWWA C651-14 AWWA Standard for Disinfecting Water Mains
Two consecutive sample sets at least 16 hours apart, none positive (every 1200
feet, end-of-line, each branch, etc.)
☐ ANSI/AWWA C652-11 AWWA Standard for Disinfection of Water-Storage Facilities
One or more samples, none positive
☐ ANSI/AWWA C653-13 AWWA Standard for Disinfection of Water Treatment
Plants
Two consecutive samples per unit, none positive, no less than 30 minutes apart
☐ ANSI/AWWA C654-13 AWWA Standard for Disinfection of Wells
Two consecutive samples, none positive, no less than 30 minutes apart
☐ 5. Water quality data, where appropriate [Guidance: Include appropriate raw and finished water
data that demonstrate satisfactory performance of the new treatment facility. Storage tank water
shall be analyzed for residual volatile organic compounds after tank interior painting or re-
coating.]
☐ 6. If applicable, all other documentation that may have been required during the plan review
process
☐ 7. If applicable, confirmation that the water system owner has received the O&M manual
for the new facility
☐ 8. If applicable, location data of new storage tank, treatment facility, or source
