Dear Amanda Buhler:
On July 5, 2024, the Director of the Division of Drinking Water (“Director”) issued an Amended
Initial Order for New Public Water System (“the Order”) to Clark Bench Water Company. As described more fully in the attachment, the Kane County Water Conservancy District is the legal successor to the Clark Bench Water Company. As authorized in Number 11 of the General Provisions section of that Order, the Director is extending that Order. The original order remains a
final order. The extension dates are detailed in the Extended New Public Water System Order
Schedule (“ENSOS”).
Under Utah law, the Director of the Division is required to provide notice of violations of the Utah Safe Drinking Water Act (the “Act”), the rules, or orders and to enforce compliance with
regulatory requirements otherwise. This includes violations of the Order, which remains a final
administrative order.
If you have any further questions, please contact Colt Smith at [phone] or [e-mail].
Sincerely,
Nathan Lunstad, Ph.D., P.E., Director Division of Drinking Water
