Subject:Operating Permit, Consecutive Connection to Park City (UTAH22011) (WS001), Red Cloud Pump Station (PF001) and Distribution System (DS001); Red Cloud Water System, System #22157,
File #17136
Dear Doug Ogilvy:The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) sent you an Initial Order for New Public Water System on September 5, 2023. The Red Cloud Water System is a transient,
non-community system. Historically, the Red Cloud Water System has been considered a customer of Park City Water System. However, recent information provided to the Division indicates
that the Red Cloud Water System owns and operates water system infrastructure beyond the connection with Park City Water System. As part of the Initial Order requirements, this letter
will act as an operating permit for the System.
The Red Cloud Water System serves 15 seasonal residential connections with a build-out capacity of 30. In addition to residual lots, it serves the Deer Valley Cushing Cabin, a small
warming hut managed by Deer Valley that includes restrooms and a coffee shop that is open 4 months of the year during the ski season (occasional use during summer for small group events).
The source of water for the Red Cloud Water System is through a consecutive connection to Park City Water System (identified as WS001 in the Division’s database). Park City’s Red Cloud
Tank (UTAH22011, ST018), located at a higher elevation, supplies water to the Red Cloud Pump Station (PF001), an underground pump station prefabricated by Engineered Fluid Incorporated.
The pump station includes two (2), 136 gallon-per-minute (gpm) pumps and one (1), 2,500 gpm pump for fire flow. From the pump station, an 8-inch diameter water line runs up the Red Cloud
Trail road to a high point with an air release valve before extending downhill into the subdivision. Park City Water System has water service agreements with each property owner in the
Red Cloud Water System and provides the source and storage capacity for the Red Cloud Water System.
We have received the following information for Red Cloud Water System:
As-built drawings of the Red Cloud Pump Station (PF001), stamped by John Demkowicz, P.E., dated June 27, 2006.
As-built drawings of the distribution system (DS001), stamped by John Demkowicz, P.E.,
dated February 3, 2009.
Pump specifications from Engineered Fluid, Inc.
Engineering Evaluation Report prepared by Alliance Engineering, Inc., submitted on May 15, 2025.
Confirmation of Park City Water System’s approval and inspection of the Red Cloud Water System.
Satisfactory routine monthly bacteriological results.
Based on the information provided and a site visit conducted by Division staff on September 12, 2024, we have determined that all conditions for operating permit issuance have been met.
On this basis, an Operating Permit for the Red Cloud Water System (DS001, PF001, WS001)is hereby issued as constituted by this letter.
Please maintain a copy of this letter with your permanent records for future reference.If this Operating Permit changes any of your monitoring requirements, the staff of the Monitoring
and Compliance Sections will follow up to provide an updated monitoring schedule and/or inventory reportto you. Please contact the Mark Berger, Water Quality Monitoring and Standards
