Dear Jason Helm:The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the plans and specifications for the proposed Watts Well No. 18 Water Line Project from your consultant, Garrick
Stephenson and Hansen, Allen & Luce on April 29, 2025. Written review comments were provided to your consultant on May 1, 2025. The Division received the revised plans and specifications
on May 5, 2025. This project has met the conditions for receiving a plan approval.
Our understanding of the project includes the following:
Approximately 1,340 linear feet of 18-inch diameter PVC water line to connect the proposed Watts Well #18 (WS020) with the existing UTAH18007 Distribution System (DS001)
Approximately 170 linear feet of 30-inch diameter steel casing under the existing UTA TRAX lines
We have completed our review of the plans and specifications, stamped and signed byGarrick Stephenson, P.E., dated April 24, 2025, and find they basically comply with the applicable
portions of Utah’s Administrative Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems in R309. On this basis, the plans for Watts Well No. 18 Water Line Project are hereby approved.
This approval pertains to construction only. An Operating Permit must be obtained from the Director before Watts Well No. 18 Water Line Project portion of the UTAH18007 Distribution
System (DS001) may be put in service. A checklist outlining the items required for operating permit issuance is enclosed for your information.Approvals or permits from the local authority
or the county may be necessary before beginning construction of this project. As the project proceeds, notice of any changes in the approved design, as well as any change affecting the
quantity or quality of the delivered water, must be submitted to the Division. We may also conduct interim and final inspections of this project. Please notify us when actual construction
begins so that these inspections can be scheduled.
This approval must be renewed if construction has not begun or if substantial equipment has not been ordered within one year of the date of this letter.
