Subject:Plan Approval, Quail Mesa Subdivision Water Line Extension; Virgin, System #27020, File #18323
Dear Krystal Percival:The Division of Drinking Water (the Division) received the plans and specifications for the proposed Quail Mesa Subdivision Project from Zachery Isaac, Civil Science,
on December 13, 2024. Written review comments were provided to you and your consultant on December 16, 2024. The Division received the revised plans and specifications on June 23, 2025.
This project has met the conditions for receiving plan approval.
Our understanding of the project is to extend water lines in Virgin Town to provide water to the proposed 22 lot Quail Mesa Subdivision. There will be approximately 354 linear feet of
8-inch and 2,523 linear feet of 12-inch diameter PVC C-900 water lines including connections, appurtenant valves, and fittings to serve the culinary and fire needs of the project. Hydraulic
modeling was done on this project with a report submitted. It indicated that all minimum pressures were met according to R309-105-9.
We have completed our review of the plans and specifications, stamped and signed byStephen Selu, P.E., dated March 10, 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 the Quail Mesa Subdivision Project are hereby approved.
This approval pertains to construction only. An Operating Permit must be obtained from the Director before these water lines 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.
If you have any questions regarding this approval, please contact J. Paul Wright, P.E., Southwest District Engineer, at [phone], or me at (385) 515‑1464.
Sincerely,
Michael Newberry, P.E.
