COX Governor DEIDRE HENDERSON Lieutenant Governor Department of Environmental Quality Tim Davis Executive Director DIVISION OF DRINKING WATER Nathan Lunstad, Ph.D., P.E. Director June 30th, 2025 Marjalee Smith Highlands Water Company Inc 5880 N Highland Dr Mountain Green, UT 84050 Subject: Notice of Increased Monitoring for Highlands Water Company, UTAH15005 Marjalee Smith: This letter serves as notification that the routine monitoring requirements for Highlands Water Company (the Supplier) have increased to include monitoring on the Highlands Well #1 (identified as WS005). Pursuant to R309-205 all active sources supplying water to a community water system shall be monitored for six chemical contaminants at varying frequencies. The routine monitoring requirements are enclosed, given below and are available to view anytime on waterlink.utah.gov under the water monitoring section. Please contact David Kruse at 385-566- 7789 (dbkruse@utah.gov) with any questions regarding the source monitoring requirements for this system. Background On June 11, 2025, the Division of Drinking Water (the Division) conducted outreach to support the Supplier in completing their initial PFAS monitoring requirements. In this process it was discovered that the Highlands Well #1 (WS005) did not have the monitoring requirements prescribed in R309-205 assigned. On the date of this letter the Division does not have chemical sample results from the Highlands Well #1 (WS005) more recent than November 27, 2007. For this reason, this source does not qualify for reduced monitoring, and most chemical samples are due by the end of the current compliance cycle (December 31, 2025). Pursuant to R309-205-7, a source must have four radionuclide samples on file to qualify for a reduced monitoring schedule, under which only one sample is required every three, six, or nine years. To fulfill this requirement, the Highlands Well #1 (WS005) has been placed on a quarterly radionuclide monitoring schedule. Marjalee Smith Page 2 of 2 June 30th, 2025 Radionuclide samples do not need to be collected consecutively; therefore, samples are only required during quarters in which the well is active and supplying water to the distribution system. The Supplier is not required to operate the well solely for the purpose of collecting a radionuclide sample. The Division understands that this well is operated seasonally, primarily during the third quarter. Accordingly, the well’s operating period has been updated to reflect a seasonal schedule of July 1 through September 30. At a minimum, the Division will expect a radionuclide sample during the third quarter, as well as in any other quarter in which the well provides water to the distribution system. Monitoring Requirements The routine monitoring requirements for the Highlands Well #1 (WS005) are given below and are available to view anytime on waterlink.utah.gov under the water monitoring section.

Please ensure that the chosen laboratory processes PFAS samples using one of these methods. Additionally, the Division has resources to assist water systems in completing the PFAS initial monitoring requirements. For more information on the resources the division can provide related to PFAS initial monitoring please visit ddwpfas.utah.gov. For PFAS related questions, please contact John Steffan at jtsteffan@utah.gov or (385) 499-3926. Thank you for your efforts in maintaining a safe drinking water system.
