IDAHO DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY DRINKING WATER SUPPLY REPORT
2018
PWS NUMBER: ID1090195
SYSTEM: Idaho Club
INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM: Robert Hansen, Operator & Administrative contact
COUNTY: Bonner County INSPECTOR: Jean Felker, DEQ, accompanied by Katy Baker-Casile, DEQ DATE OF SURVEY: April 30, 2018
NUMBER OF CONNECTIONS: 81 POPULATION SERVED: 314
FIELD SURVEY DATA
The Idaho Club water system (water system) is a privately owned community water system
serving the Hidden Lakes subdivision and Idaho Club Homeowners Association, Inc. The water
system is currently administered by VP, Inc. with mixed ownership; the water system is currently
in the process of legal determination of ownership of the water system components. No further
discussions of ownership or future development plans are included in this sanitary survey narrative.
The water system is located in Bonner County, Idaho, approximately 3.5 miles east of Sandpoint
along state highway 200. The water system currently consists of two drilled wells (well field),
three reservoirs, two booster stations and distribution mains serving the Idaho Club community. The system serves 81 connections and approximately 314 people. The designated operator in
charge, Robert Hansen, was onsite at the time of the survey.
The Source Water Assessment (SWA) for well 1 (E0005651) was completed on April 27, 2001.
Potential contaminant information was updated on August 16, 2016. Well 2 (DEQ tag EO009167; IDWR Tag D0013791) was not assessed per the SWA data base.
Sources
Well 1 (E0005651) is a 6-inch well drilled in 1985 to a depth of 165 feet and is capable of
producing approximately 100 gpm. The casing extends at least 12 inches above ground level and is fitted with a watertight, vented well cap. The well is equipped with a 5 horsepower
submersible pump rated at 45 gpm. The pump is controlled by a float switch in the lower
reservoir. Well 1 is used as a back-up source.
No existing ground water problems have been identified by the SourceWaterAssessment report completed in 2001. Potential contaminant information was updated on August 16, 2016. The
GWUDI (Ground Water Under Direct Influence of Surface Water) assessment was completed
June 21, 2000 and determined that no surface water is influencing the ground water source.
Well 2 () is a newer 8-inch well drilled in October 2000 to a depth of 160 feet and is capable of producing approximately 200 gpm. This is the main well serving the subdivision and is located
outside as well. The casing extends a minimum of 18 inches above ground level, is properly
sealed, and is fitted with a water tight, vented well cap.
2
Both wells have separate pump controls and flow meters which are located inside the wood
framed pump house approximately 200 feet west of well 1 and approximately 40 feet from well
2. The pump house is insulated and heated, with a concrete floor and is securely locked to
prevent unauthorized access. There were no toxic or hazardous materials noted on site at the time of the survey. Both wells can be flowed to waste by using the valves located inside the pump
house; the flow to waste outlet pipes are properly screened. Smooth nose source water sample
taps for each well are inside the pump house.
The Idaho Club water system voluntarily provides disinfection by flow proportional injection of sodium hypochlorite. Since the previous survey conducted in 2013, the chlorine holding tank has
been vented to the outside. However, to prevent the continued venting into the pump house, the
holding tank where the tubing exits should be sealed. It was discussed during the survey to seal
the top of the holding tank where the tubing exits the tank to prevent the continued venting into
the pump house.
Storage and Pumping Stations The mid-level storage tank is a below ground 45,000 gallon concrete tank. The tank rides on the
system and is located on the north side of highway 200, off Olympic Drive, on a hillside 190 feet
above the well on a hillside and to the northwest of the well field, on the north side of the highway, off Olympic Drive. This storage tank pumps up to the upper storage tank and has no
distribution connections between the two tanks. The reservoir has a 3-foot by 5-foot concrete
riser fitted with a locking steel cover. The hatch seal is deteriorated and must be replaced as
routine maintenance this summer. The storage tank vents and flow to waste drain are properly
screened. The hatch is securely locked. A 3 horsepower submersible pump is controlled by a float switch in the upper storage tank.
The upper storage tank is a 20,000 gallon concrete tank is on the north side of the highway
serving the original development. The reservoir is below grade and rides on the upper portion of
the distribution system. The reservoir has a concrete riser with a locking steel cover. The concrete is disintegrating around the hatch lid area and needs to be repaired to prevent further
deterioration and to prevent any additional concrete from dropping into the storage tank water.
The seal on the hatch must also be replaced.
The newest and largest south side hilltop storage tank is a 225,000 gallon concrete tank located on the south side of the highway on the hilltop serving the latest development. It is a two
chambered tank that has four screened vents, four hatches, and two flow to waste drain lines with
flapper valves. None of the four hatches were secured with a padlock. These hatches must be
securely locked at all times when not on site. The two chambers can be valved-off individually
for maintenance purposes and continue to provide pressure to the south side distribution, which currently consists of 12 houses.
Water is pumped from the wellfield to booster station 1, which in turn pumps to the upper
booster station 2 and then feeds into the 225,000 gallon reservoir, which then provides gravity
flow to the development located on the south side of the highway. Three 20 horsepower Baldor VFD pumps are in place in pump station 1. Adequate heat, light, and ventilation are available.
The ventilation is provided through the screened roof vents and the attic hatch was when left
open for ventilation. A transfer switch and quick connect generator tie in exists on the outside of
the building in case a portable generator is needed.
3
Booster station 2 is also located on the south side of Hwy 200 farther uphill. Three 20
horsepower VFDs pump to the south side hilltop storage tank where water is provided by gravity
flow to distribution to the 12 homes in the south side development.
There was is adequate heating, lighting and ventilation. No hazardous chemicals or items where
on site at either booster stations during the survey. This booster station also has an exterior
electrical tie in for a portable generator as needed. The two vaults adjacent to the booster station
were not locked. These must be secured and kept locked when not on site.
Distribution The system currently serves 81 service connections, all of which are metered. The distribution
lines consist of 6- and 8-inch PVC pipe. The water system is able to maintain a minimum
pressure of 40 psi during maximum demand conditions. All water mains that provide fire flow
have a diameter of at least 6 inches. All dead ends are flushed at least semiannually and all valves are exercised and flushed at least annually.
There was one known interruption of service reported last April, 2017, which included pressure
loss with a planned shut down in an isolated area of distribution. Public notification was hand
delivered to each user in the affected area per Idaho Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems (IDAPA 58.01.08).
As a reminder, if at any time there is a depressurization event where pressure is known to have
fallen below 20 psi, the water supplier must notify DEQ, provide public notice to the affected
customers within twenty-four (24) hours, and disinfect or flush the system as appropriate. When sampling and corrective procedures have been conducted and after determination by the DEQ
that the water is safe, the water supplier may re-notify the affected customers that the water is
safe for consumption. The water supplier shall notify the affected customers if the water is not
safe for consumption.
A cross connection control program and articles of incorporation related to its enforcement are in
place as required by the Rules (IDAPA 58.01.08.552.06). Idaho Club water system is actively
enforcing its cross connection control program. Service connections that have in-ground
sprinkler systems are required to have double check valve assemblies installed and must be
annually tested and inspected. Per the operator, annual back flow inspection results are required and maintained by the water system.
The water system must ensure that cross connections do not exist or are isolated from the potable
water system by an approved backflow prevention assembly. Backflow prevention assemblies
shall be inspected and tested annually for functionality by an Idaho licensed tester, as specified in Subsection 552.06.c. Annual backflow testing of all backflow assemblies installed on
underground sprinkler systems within distribution is required.
Since the time of the last survey, the minimum requirements of a Cross Connection Control
program have been revised to include the following: “Assemblies that cannot pass annual tests or those found to be defective shall be repaired, replaced or isolated within 10 business days. If
the failed assembly cannot be repaired, replaced or isolated within 10 business days, water
service to the failed assembly shall be discontinued.”
4
The following Rule citation (IDAPA 58.01.08.552.06.a-e) lists the minimum requirements of a
Cross Connection Control Program:
Cross Connection Control Program - Community Water Systems. The water purveyor is responsible through its cross connection control program to take reasonable and prudent measures to protect the water system against contamination and pollution from cross
connections through premises isolation, internal or in-plant isolation, fixture protection,
or some combination of premises isolation, internal isolation, and fixture protection.
Pursuant to Section 543, all suppliers of water for community water systems shall implement a cross connection control program to prevent the entrance to the system of materials known to be toxic or hazardous. The water purveyor is responsible to enforce
the systems cross connection control program.
The program will at a minimum include:
1. An inspection program to locate cross connections and determine required suitable protection. For new connections, suitable protection must be installed prior to providing water service.
2. Required installation and operation of adequate backflow prevention assemblies.
Appropriate and adequate backflow prevention assembly types for various facilities,
fixtures, equipment, and uses of water should be selected from the AWWA Pacific Northwest Section Cross Connection Control Manual, the Uniform Plumbing Code, the AWWA Recommended Practice for Backflow Prevention and Cross Connection Control
(M14), the USC Foundation Manual of Cross Connection Control, or other sources
deemed acceptable by the Department. The assemblies must meet the requirements of
Section 543 and comply with local ordinances. 3. Annual inspections and testing of all installed backflow prevention assemblies by a tester licensed by a licensing authority recognized by the Department. Testing shall be
done in accordance with the test procedures published by the University of Southern
California Foundation for Cross-Connection Control and Hydraulic Research. See the
USC Foundation Manual of Cross-Connection Control referenced in Subsection 002.02. 4. Discontinuance of service to any structure, facility, or premises where suitable backflow protection has not been provided for a cross connection.
5. Assemblies that cannot pass annual tests or those found to be defective shall be
repaired, replaced, or isolated within ten (10) business days. If the failed assembly
cannot be repaired, replaced, or isolated within ten (10) business days, water service to the failed assembly shall be discontinued.
The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) recommends that all frost free hydrants
on the water system have an atmospheric vacuum breaker installed to prevent cross connection
contamination; and that at no time are frost free hydrants left in the open position when
connected to garden hoses where attachments on the hose regulate flow. As a reminder, atmospheric vacuum breakers should be removed during winter months to avoid freezing and
possible water line breakage.
Financial & Managerial Capacity
The Idaho Club water system is currently in the process of legal determination of ownership of the water system components. No further discussions of ownership or future development plans
are included in this sanitary survey narrative.
The water system is current on their drinking water fees with the DEQ. The designated operator
is Robert Hansen of Water Systems Management and is licensed by the Idaho Bureau of
5
Occupational Licenses (IBOL) and holds a Drinking Water Distribution (DWD2-13440) and
Drinking Water Treatment (DWT2-10694) license that renews in November 2018. He also is
certified as a Backflow Assembly Tester (BAT-530). The back-up operators are Ed Huckaby
(DWT1-10804) and (DWD2-14276); and Stacey Rucker (DWD1-13777) and (DWT1-13361). Both are currently licensed through the IBOL.
The DEQ recommends an operation and maintenance manual be provided for the drinking water
system. Operation and maintenance manuals should include daily operating instructions, trouble
shooting, operator safety procedures, location of valves and other key system features, parts lists and parts order forms, and information for contacting the water system operator.
Monitoring Schedule
Idaho Club water system is required to collect one total coliform sample monthly from
distribution per the Revised Total Coliform Rule sampling plan established. In review of the past 12 month period, the routine samples collected were collected from 767 Lower Pack River
Rd (4), Maintenance shop (5) and well house (4). Samples from your pump house (well house)
cannot be used for your routine total coliform monitoring and must discontinue immediately.
According to coliform sampling requirements of the Idaho Rules, the total coliform sampling must represent the entire distribution system according to a written plan with repeat monitoring
locations. Within 30 days sampling must occur at alternating locations within the distribution
system and an updated sampling site plan must be submitted to the DEQ.
Please remember to frequently check the online Public Water System Switchboard to keep updated on what monitoring is due and what has been credited as completed for this year. If you
have any questions, please contact the DEQ at your earliest convenience.

http://www.deq.idaho.gov/water-quality/source-water/assessments/
Drinking Water Protection Plan
The water system does not appear to have a Drinking Water Protection Plan prepared by the DEQ or Idaho Rural Water Association. Source water protection (synonymous with the term drinking water protection) is a voluntary effort a community can implement to help prevent
contamination of the source water that supplies its public water system. The drinking water
protection plan outlines the management tools local committees can use to protect drinking water
sources, and describes the implementation of regulatory and/or non-regulatory management practices. The Drinking Water Protection Plan builds upon the work completed in the Source Water Assessment.
1) Regulatory tools include items such as zoning ordinances, overlay districts, or site plan review
requirements;
2) Non-regulatory tools include items such as educational or pollution prevention activities and implementation of Best Management Practices; 3) Every plan should also include a public education and information component.
DEQ recommends that the water system pursue a Drinking Water Protection Plan to establish
further protective measures against contamination in the watershed. Conclusions and Recommendations The Idaho Club water system was found to be operating in substantial compliance with the Idaho
Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems. No significant deficiencies were identified during the
survey, and all previous deficiencies have been corrected since the previous survey dated April 30, 2013.
The following deficiencies, requirements and recommendations need to be addressed in a written
Plan of Correction (POC) and submitted to DEQ within 30 days of the receipt of this letter. The
7
POC is a simple narrative document that lists the deficiencies and additional requirements, how
they will be corrected, and the date by which correction will be completed.
and Deficiencies Requiring Correction: 1. Within 30 days total coliform sampling must occur at alternating locations within the
distribution system and an updated sampling site plan must be submitted to the DEQ.
Samples collected from the wells (well house) cannot be used for routine total coliform
monitoring. Failure to monitor violations will be assigned for any future well samples collected in place of routine distribution samples.
2. According to coliform sampling requirements of the Idaho Rules for Public Drinking Water
Systems, the total coliform sampling must represent the entire distribution system according
to a written plan with designated repeat monitoring locations. An updated sampling site plan
that represents all areas of distribution is required to be submitted for approval by the Department by May 31, 2018.
3. The chlorination holding tank in the pump house must be sealed where the vent tube exits the
holding tank to prevent the continued venting into the pump house and continued corrosion
of the electronic components and piping.
4. The hatch seal on the mid-level storage tank has deteriorated and must be replaced as routine maintenance this summer.
5. The concrete is disintegrating around the upper storage tank hatch area and must be repaired
to prevent further deterioration and to prevent any additional concrete from dropping into the
storage tank water.
6. The seal on the upper storage tank hatch must also be replaced. 7. All four hatches on the Southside hilltop storage tank were unsecured. These hatches must
be securely locked by padlock at all times when not on site.
8. Booster station 2 must have the vault hatches secured by locks when not on site.
Recommendations: 1. The Department recommends the valves in distribution be exercised annually.
2. Any dead end distribution mains must be flushed every six months.
3. The Department recommends an operation and maintenance manual be provided for the
drinking water system. Operation and maintenance manuals should include daily operating
instructions, trouble shooting, operator safety procedures, location of valves and other key system features, parts lists and parts order forms, and information for contacting the water
system operator.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS
• It is the customer’s responsibility to repair any
water leaks or damage to the service line from the
meter to the home, in the home, or on the
customer’s premises. Preventing lines from
freezing and making prompt repairs, if necessary,
result in lower bills and conserves water.
• Make sure you know where the main water shutoff
valve in your house is located in case you have a
plumbing emergency.
• Fire Hydrant
Any customer with a hydrant located on their
property is responsible to make sure that access to
the hydrant is not blocked by landscaping, trees,
shrubs, or fences. Fire department personnel
must be able to reach all sides of a hydrant.
• Meter Access
Company personnel must be able to reach all
sides of a meter easily. The customer must make
sure that access to the meter is not blocked by
landscaping, trees, shrubs, or fences. Typically,
the meter cover is located near where the water
line enters the property.
• 811 – Before You Dig
Idaho Code, Chapter 22, Sections 55-2201 to
55-2210 requires anyone digging, including
homeowners, to contact Digline 2 to 10 business
days before starting work.
Call 811 or enter ticket at
https://www.nid811.com/
NOTE: No one, except an authorized agent of VP Inc.,
shall tamper with, interfere with, repair, connect to, or
replace any of the Company’s property. Any damage
to the meter or the Company’s equipment by the
Customer will be the financial responsibility of the
Customer.

Company Main Extension Rules
SWC Model Uniform Main Extension 2009.doc 1
UNIFORM MAIN EXTENSION RULE FOR WATER UTILITIES
Based on Order No. 7830 (Case No. U-1500-22)
A. GENERAL PROVISIONS AND DEFINITIONS
1. Applicability
a. All extensions of distribution mains from the utility's existing distribution
system, to serve new customers, except for those specifically excluded
below shall be made under the provisions of this Rule unless specific
authority is first obtained from the Commission to deviate therefrom. A
main extension contract shall be executed by the utility and the applicant
or applicants for the main extension before the utility commences
construction work on said extension or, if constructed by applicant or
applicants, before the facilities comprising the main extension are
transferred to the utility.
b. Extensions solely for fire hydrant, private fire protection, resale,
temporary, standby, or supplemental service shall not be made under this
Rule.
c. The utility may, but will not be required to, make extensions under this
Rule in easements or rights-of-way where final grades have not been
established, or where street grades have not been brought to those
established by public authority. If extensions are made when grades have
not been established and there is a reasonable probability that the
existing grade will be changed, the utility shall require that the applicant
or applicants for the main extension deposit, at the time of execution of
the main extension agreement, the estimated net cost of relocating,
raising, or lowering facilities upon establishment of final grades.
Adjustment of any difference between the amount so deposited and the
actual cost of relocating, raising, lowering facilities shall be made within
ten (10) days after the utility has ascertained such actual cost. The net
deposit representing actual cost is not subject to refund. The entire
deposit related to the proposed relocation, raising or lowering shall be
refunded when such displacements are determined by proper authority to
be not required.
2. Definitions
a. Bona Fide Customer, for the purposes of this Rule, shall be a customer
(excluding any customer formerly served at the same location) who has
given satisfactory evidence that service will be reasonably permanent to
the property which has been improved with a building of permanent
nature and to which service has commenced. The provision of service to a
real estate developer or builder during the construction or development
period shall not establish him as a bona fide customer.
b. Real Estate Developer or Builder, for purposes of this Rule, shall include
any individual, association of individuals, partnership, or corporation that
divides a parcel of land into two (2) or more portions.
c. Adjusted Construction Cost, for the purposes of this Rule, shall be
reasonable and shall not exceed the costs recorded in conformity with
generally accepted water utility accounting and sound engineering
practices, and as specifically defined in the, Uniform System of Accounts
SWC Model Uniform Main Extension 2009.doc 2
for Water Utilities prescribed by the Commission, of installing facilities, of
adequate capacity for the service requested. If the utility at its option
should install facilities with' a larger capacity or resulting in a greater
footage of extension than required for the service, the adjusted
construction cost for the purposes of this Rule shall be determined by the
application of an adjustment factor to actual construction cost of facilities
installed. This factor shall be the ratio of estimated cost of required
facilities to estimated cost of actual facilities installed.
d. Commission shall mean the Idaho Public Utilities Commission.
3. Ownership, Design and Construction of Facilities
a. Any facilities installed hereunder shall be the sole property of the utility.
In those instances in which title to certain portions of the installation, such
as fire hydrants, will be held by a political subdivision, such facilities shall
not be included as a part of the main extension under this Rule.
b. The size, type, quality of materials and their location shall be specified by
the utility and the actual construction shall be done by the utility or by a
constructing agency acceptable to it.
c. Where the property of an applicant is located adjacent to a right-of-way,
exceeding 70 feet in width, for a street, highway or other public purpose,
regardless of the width of the traveled way or pavement; or a freeway,
waterway or railroad right-of-way, the utility may elect to install a main
extension on the same side thereof as the property of the applicant and
the estimated and adjusted construction costs in such case shall be based
upon such an extension.
d. When an extension must comply with an ordinance, regulation, or
specification of public authority, the estimated and adjusted construction
costs of said extension shall be based upon the facilities required comply
therewith.
4. Estimates, Plans and Specifications
a. Upon request by a potential applicant for a main extension, the utility shall
prepare without charge a preliminary sketch and rough estimates of the
cost of installation to be advanced by said applicant.
b. Any applicant for a main extension requesting the utility to prepare
detailed plans, specifications and cost estimates shall be required to
deposit with the utility an amount equal to the estimated cost of
preparation of such material. The utility shall, upon request, make
available within 45 days after receipt of the deposit referred to above,
such plans, specifications and cost estimates of the proposed main
extension. If the extension is to include oversizing of facilities to be done
at the utility’s expense appropriate details shall be set forth in the plans,
specifications and cost estimates.
c. In the event a main extension contract with the utility is executed within
180' days after the utility furnishes the detailed plans and specifications,
the deposit shall become a part of the advance, and shall be refunded in
accordance with the terms of the main extension contract. If such contract
is not so executed the deposit to cover the cost of preparing plans,
specifications and cost estimates shall be forfeited by the applicant for the
main extension and the amount of the forfeited deposit shall be credited
SWC Model Uniform Main Extension 2009.doc 3
to the account or accounts to which the expense of preparing said
material was charged.
d. When detailed plans, specifications and cost estimates are requested the
applicant for a main extension shall furnish a map to a suitable scale
showing the street and lot layouts, and when requested by the utility,
contours or other indication of the relative elevation of the various parts of
the area to be developed. If changes are made subsequent to the
presentation of this map by the applicant, and these changes require
additional expense in revising plans, specifications and cost estimates this
additional expense shall be borne by the applicant, not subject to refund,
and the additional expense thus recovered shall be credited to the account
or accounts to which the additional expense was charged.
5. Timing and Adjustment of Advances
a. Unless the applicant for the main extension elects to arrange for the
installation of the extension himself as permitted by Section C.1.c., the
full amount of the required advance or an acceptable surety bond must be
provided to the utility at the time of execution of the main extension
agreement.
b. If the applicant for a main extension posts a surety bond in lieu of cash,
such surety bond must be replaced with cash not less than ten (10)
calendar days before construction is to commence; provided, however,
that if special facilities are required primarily for the service requested,
the applicant for the extension may be required to deposit sufficient cash
to cover the cost of such special facilities before they are ordered by the
utility.
c. An applicant for a main extension who advances funds shall be provided
with a, statement of actual construction cost and adjusted construction
cost showing in reasonable detail the cost incurred for material, labor, any
other direct and indirect costs , overheads, and total costs; or unit costs

construction costs shall be submitted, based upon the best available
information at that time.
e. Any differences between the adjusted construction costs and the amount
advanced shall be shown as a revision of the amount of advance and shall
be payable within thirty (30) days of submission of the statement.
