Subject: Water System Violation – Foothill Water Users Association - UTAH11099

Stephen Brown:

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

The March 2025 routine and repeat samples tested for bacterial contamination showed the presence of fecal
coliform or Escherichia coli bacteria. This is in violation as defined by Utah Administration Code Rule
R309-211-9(1) which states that any confirmed fecal coliform-positive or Escherichia coliform-positive
sample is an E coli Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) violation. This violation results in the addition
of 50 points to this system’s Improvement Priority System (IPS) Report and could adversely affect this
system’s rating (R309-400). These IPS points will remain on the IPS report for 12 months of operation.

If you have any questions feel free to contact Sitara Federico, of my staff, at [phone] or
[e-mail]. Please reference this water system number in all correspondence.

Sincerely,
Mark Berger
Monitoring and Standards Section Manager
