WATER SYSTEM HISTORY
The Bitterroot water system is located in the north central portion of Kootenai County west of Highway 95
approximately three miles southwest of Athol, Idaho. The service area is primarily suburban residential in
nature and is within the Chilco Recharge Area to the Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer.
The Bitterroot water system was constructed in 1994 to serve the 33-lot Silver Meadows development. The
original water system consisted of a single well, well house, and distribution mains serving the development.
Construction of the water system was approved by DEQ with the contingency that the water system would
obtain a second source before the development reached 25 connections. In May of 1995, an agreement
between Bitterroot and the nearby Eight Mile Prairie water system was reached, and the two systems were
interconnected to accommodate fire flows. Water infrastructure for the 3rd Addition of the development was
completed in 1996. This phase added an additional 64 lots to the development. The 4th Addition
infrastructure was completed in 1997 and added an additional 29 connections to the water system. A 100,000
gallon reservoir and booster pumps were added to the water system in 1997. In 1998, Bitterroot installed an
interconnection to another nearby water system owned by Ken Rickel in order to fulfill the requirement of
having two wells. Phase 2 of the development was constructed in 2005 and included the addition of 19
residential connections and a connection to a school.
In 2008, water system improvements included the addition of a new booster pump and a stand-by power
generator. In 2015, a 2-inch transmission line was replaced with approximately 75 feet of 4-inch pipe.
These and other improvements were constructed without prior review and approval, and the water system
was disapproved by DEQ in April 2019 with a requirement to submit information pertaining to these
improvements.
In March 2014, the water system stopped voluntary chlorination of the distribution system.
In April 2020, water system ownership was transferred to Gem State Water with new operating staff.
SYSTEM CHANGES SINCE THE LAST SANITARY SURVEY
The water system was significantly changed since the last sanitary survey in 2015.
Sources:
1) Consultant engineering correspondence appears to indicate a new submersible well pump was
installed in each of Well#1 (West) and Well#2 (East). The new pumps increased capacity from
previous pump installations.
Controls:
1) Mission Controls evaluated water system infrastructure after ownership transfer and installed a
limited SCADA system.
Management:
1) The Bitterroot water system was disapproved in April 2019 for 39-118 violations stemming from
improvements completed without prior DEQ review and approval.
Page 3 of 15

GSW-W-24-01 IPUC DR 40 Attachment 1
Page 4 of 154
2) Submittals to address water system disapproval and capacity requirements were deemed incomplete
by the DEQ engineering section. The system continues to operate under disapproved status, and this
ongoing process is managed under the DEQ engineering section as outlined in correspondence filed
under EDMS record number 2019AGD6785.
3) Ownership was transferred to Gem State Water in April 2020. The water system continues to operate
under the Idaho Public Utility Commission(IPUC) tariff for Bitterroot Water Company, Inc.
4) Cole Rayner and Leslie Abrams-Rayner started operating the system in 2020 after ownership
transfer.
SOURCE FACILITIES
Well#1 (West, E0005561)
Original Construction Date: April 28, 1994 Well Log: Permit#96-94-N-65
Total Depth: 470 ft Casing: 8 in by 464 ft
Intake: Perforations,440-460 ft Static Level: 344 ft
Pump: Submersible Max. Tested Yield: 50+gpm(1994 air test)
Surface Seal: 50 ft,Bentonite Confining Layers: Cemented gravels,280-400 ft
TRS: T53N R3W S29 Lat/Long: 47.904721/-116.741712
Well#1 is located approximately 200 feet northeast of the intersection of Brunner and Clagstone Roads. The
general area surrounding the well includes a perimeter security fence, undeveloped land, low-density
residential development, and a BNSF railroad right of way. A 50-foot isolation zone around the well
contains a well house structure, a shipping container structure with diesel generator, a booster pump station
structure, and a concrete storage tank. Topography is flat with grass vegetation.
Well#1 is located inside a well house with well casing that projects approximately 18 inches above the
surrounding concrete floor. The well casing features a center-discharge split cap sanitary seal, a screened
vent, and conduit with pump wiring. There are no apparent gaps or cracks leading into the well casing.
Well#1 discharge piping features galvanized iron pipe and fittings in the well house, a screened and
downturned vent, a static water level gauge, a pressure relief valve, an electrical conduit entrance, a
transducer controlling a VLT Aqua Drive variable frequency drive (VFD), a 4-inch piping branch leading
through a transmission main to Storage Tank#1, and a piping branch within the well house through an
isolation valve, a flow meter, multiple pressure switches, and a series of six captive air(bladder) tanks to
distribution. While each bladder tank is still connected to the piping through isolation valves and union
couples, the entire branch and bank of pressure tanks are isolated and not in use.
Well#1 discharge piping did not appear to feature an accessible check valve,pressure relief piping to the
exterior of the well house, flow-to-waste piping to the exterior of the well house, a sample tap, nor a flow
meter on the 4-inch transmission line leading to Storage Tank#1.
The well house building consists of one structure with wood framing, concrete floor, metal roofing, lap
siding, and electric forced air heat at ceiling level. The structure generally appears to direct local runoff
away, provides adequate protection from the weather, and prevents unauthorized access. The well house is
adequately sized for the existing equipment, and it appears to have capacity for the installation of additional
water system appurtenances if the unused equipment is removed.

DEQ records indicate Well#1 was evaluated in May 1999 for the influence of surface water using the
Ground Water Under the Direct Influence (GWUDI)process on the source. DEQ files indicate setbacks
formed the basis of a determination that the source is groundwater.
Well#2 (East, E0005553)
Original Construction Date: December 7, 1992 Well Log: Permit#96-92-N-278
Total Depth: 447 ft Casing: 10 in by 200 ft, 8 in by 447 ft
Intake: Perforations,417-443 ft Static Level: 381 ft
Pump: Submersible Max. Tested Yield: 30+gpm(1992 air test)
Surface Seal: 60 ft,Bentonite Confining Layers: None indicated
TRS: T53N R3W S29 Lat/Long: 47.904341/-116.738755
Well#2 is located more than 40 feet north of Brunner Road and approximately 80 feet east of the railroad
right of way. The general area surrounding the well includes a perimeter security fence, undeveloped land,
low-density residential development, and a BNSF railroad right of way. A 50-foot isolation zone around the
well contains a well house structure, a storage structure, and the Brunner Road right of way. Topography is
flat with grass and shrub vegetation.
Well#2 is located inside a well house with well casing that projects less than 18 inches above the
surrounding concrete floor. The well casing features a center-discharge welded-cap sanitary seal, a screened
vent, and conduit with pump wiring. There are no apparent gaps or cracks leading into the well casing.
Well#2 discharge piping features galvanized iron pipe and ductile iron fittings in the well house, a screened
and downturned vent, an electrical conduit entrance, a flow meter, a branch with an isolation valve and pipe
cap for flow-to-waste, a piping branch leading through a transmission main to Storage Tank#1 with a
threaded sample tap, and a piping branch within the well house through an isolation valve, a flow control
valve, a pressure tank, and a booster pump to distribution. While the branch line with the pressure tank is
still connected to the piping, the entire branch is isolated and not in use.
Well#2 discharge piping did not appear to feature an accessible check valve,pressure relief piping to the
exterior of the well house, flow-to-waste piping to the exterior of the well house, nor an atmospheric vacuum
breaker on the threaded sample tap.
The well house building consists of one structure with wood framing, concrete floor, metal roofing,panel
siding, and electric forced air heat at ceiling level. The structure generally appears to direct local runoff
away, provides adequate protection from the weather, and prevents unauthorized access. The well house is
adequately sized for the existing equipment, and it appears to have capacity for the installation of additional
water system appurtenances if the unused equipment is removed.
DEQ records indicate Well#2 was evaluated in May 1999 for the influence of surface water using the
Ground Water Under the Direct Influence (GWUDI)process on the source. DEQ files indicate setbacks
formed the basis of a determination that the source is groundwater.
Well#1 and Well#2 Wellfield
DEQ files indicate Well#1 and Well 42 are considered to be a wellfield for compliance monitoring
purposes, and monitoring as a wellfield began in late 1998. While the well driller's reports (well logs) for
both Well#1 and Well#2 indicate substantially similar construction and lithology over a separation of
Page 5 of 15

GSW-W-24-01 IPUC DR 40 Attachment 1
Page 6 of 154
approximately 740 feet horizontally and negligible feet vertically, DEQ files do not appear to contain
comparative water quality parameter results or other basis for the determination. More evaluation may be
required of the water system as determined by DEQ in order to support the current compliance monitoring
schedule.
Intertie
An intertie with ID 1280254 Eight Mile Prairie water system is a physical connection with the Bitterroot
water system located near the western fence line surrounding the Well#1 site. The connection is normally
closed with a post valve, and the local fire authority maintains the lock. Its purpose is to provide additional
flows in the event of a fire event.
Source requirements were noted at the time of inspection:
Physically disconnect unused pressure tanks and appurtenances in the well houses in order to eliminate
potential contamination. In any remaining branch piping, ensure there is a flow-to-waste capability to
remove potentially stagnant water.
Install a pressure gauge and an accessible check valve to well discharge piping.
Replace the threaded sample tap in Well#2 discharge piping with a smooth nose sample tap or install an
atmospheric vacuum breaker.
Coordinate with DEQ to further evaluate Well#1 and Well#2 as a wellfield for compliance monitoring
purposes.
Continue to work with the DEQ engineering section to satisfy plans and specification requirements for
source and transmission main minimum design standards.
TREATMENT FACILITIES
There are no treatment processes currently in operation.
Any future disinfection process would require prior review and approval by DEQ.
FINISHED WATER STORAGE FACILITIES
Storage Tank#1
Original Construction Date: 1978 Capacity: 100,000 gallons
Type: Partially-Buried Concrete
Storage Tank#1 is located adjacent to Well#1 within the perimeter security fencing. A portion of the tank
roof serves as the floor of Booster Pump Station#1.
Page 6 of 15

GSW-W-24-01 IPUC DR 40 Attachment 1
Page 7 of 154
The rectangular concrete tank is approximately 80 feet by 24 feet and is partially buried. The tank features a
single man-way hatch inside the pump station building with a shoe-box style lid and tight-fitting gasket, a
screened vent above the exterior portion of the roof, and an external overflow with screened outlet.
The storage tank roof is assembled from pre-cast hollow core concrete sections and appears to have a slope
for drainage. Several cracks are starting to form in the seams of the concrete roof.
The tank appears to have inlets for each well pump transmission line into the internally baffled pump
chamber under the pump station structure.
Storage Significant Deficiencies were noted at the time of inspection:
Cracks are present in the seams of the concrete roof sections. This condition is a defect in maintenance that
meets the definition in the Rules of a Significant Deficiency. Correct the condition by repairing the cracks to
ensure runoff water cannot enter the interior of the tank. IDAPA 58.01.08(544)(09)(d)
Storage requirements were noted at the time of inspection:
Install a downturned elbow, splash pad, and 24 mesh non-corrodible screening on the overflow pipe.
Continue to work with the DEQ engineering section to satisfy plans and specification requirements for
storage minimum design standards.
Storage recommendations were noted at the time of inspection:
Regularly inspect the visible exterior features of storage facilities. Inspect interior features and clean storage
facilities every five years or more frequently as necessary. Utilize different inspection strategies to evaluate
both below the water line and above the water line. Repair active leaks and other defects as they are
identified.
PUMPS AND CONTROL FACILITIES
There are two mechanisms utilized to maintain water pressure in this water system.
1) Submersible well pumps transfer groundwater into storage.
2) Pumps boost pressure from storage into the service area distribution system.
Well Pump Control
The submersible pumps in Well#1 and Well#2 are controlled by level sensors in Storage Tank #1 via
buried-wire relay.
Mission Controls installed a limited SCADA system.

Emergency Power
A 120 KW diesel generator provides manual-transfer, 480V 3-phase and 120V 1-phase backup electrical
service to the Well#1 pump and two of three pumps in Pump Station#1. The generator is housed inside a
shipping container with pier block foundation adjacent to and within 50 feet of Well#1. Ventilation is
provided to the generator by separate inlet and outlet vents.
Pump Station#1
Pump Station#1 is housed inside a wood-framed structure over the western portion of the roof of Storage
Tank#1. The pump station includes separate inlet piping from Well#1 and Well#2 with independent
smooth nose sample taps and flow meters, a separate blow off branch with isolaltion valve, and a common
manifold discharge piping branch to distribution.
Two centrifugal 15 HP pumps (Baldor JMM 3314T motors, Goulds Pumps model 3656)provide boosted-
pressure service to distribution under routine demand, and one centrifugal 30 HP pump (Baldor motor,
Goulds Pumps model 3656)provides additional fire flow demand. Two of the three pumps feature automatic
shutoff at 5 psi, and two pressure gauges are installed on the discharge manifold. Suction line details within
the pump chamber of Storage Tank#1 do not appear to be documented in DEQ files.
Correspondence in DEQ files (EDMS record number 2020AGD509 dated February 5, 2020) indicate the
pumps are not capable to supply maximum daily flows with the largest pump offline.
Pump and Control requirements were noted at the time of inspection:
Provide a minimum 110% spill containment structure around the diesel generator. Document that the diesel
generator tank is approved by Underwriter's Laboratory, double-walled, meets local fire jurisdiction
requirements, and includes both spill and overfill protection features.
Submit documentation of the Mission Controls system including specifications, control features, and
configuration settings.
Continue to work with the DEQ engineering section to satisfy plans and specification requirements for
pumps and control minimum design standards.
Pump and Control recommendations were noted at the time of inspection:
Repair the pump leak in Pump Station#1.
DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES
The distribution service area primarily includes low-density suburban residences in Silver Meadows, Beverly
Estates, and Corbin Estates subdivisions. One currently undeveloped lot is owned by Lakeland School
District#272 (Silver Meadows 2nd Addition, Lot 7, Block 2).
Page 8 of 15

GSW-W-24-01 IPUC DR 40 Attachment 1
Page 9 of 154
As documented in previous sanitary surveys, distribution system piping includes primarily 6-inch and 8-inch
pipe. Water services are metered. Most of the distribution layout includes looped lines, and dead end
branches feature blow-off hydrants. There is no known asbestos pipe in the system.
Fires in the service area are responded to by the Timberlake Fire Protection District. There are multiple fire
hydrants distributed throughout distribution, and fire flows are provided by the water system in conjunction
with a locked intertie with ID1280254 Eight Mile Prairie water system.
Distribution requirements were noted at the time of inspection:
Per the Level 2 Assessment findings dated July 29, 2020 and when possible after COVID 19 restrictions,
identify adequate representative sampling sites in distribution to replace the frost free hydrant sites currently
being used.
Distribution recommendations were noted at the time of inspection:
Locate and map all system valves and water service features in distribution. Consider documenting GPS
coordinates for each.
Exercise all valves annually.
MONITORING, REPORTING, AND DATA VERIFICATION
Monitoring Schedule
This water system is classified as a community public water system with a population of 3,300 or less.
EPA's current standard monitoring framework is within the Fourth Cycle (2020-2028) and the 1st Period
(2020-2022).
Online tools for reviewing currently updated monitoring schedules are available for viewing on the web:
http://www.deq.idaho.gov/water-quality/drinking-water/pws-switchboard.aspx
It is important to note that monitoring schedules may be changed or modified by DEQ as required. Before
sampling, water system operators are advised to revisit both monitoring schedule tools and review the most
current requirements in order to ensure compliance.
Lead and copper monitoring in tap water has special requirements. Sample sites must be residential service
taps at highest risk of contamination and may not have point-of-use treatment. Lead and copper samples
must be first draw collections (including the first drop) from the cold-water kitchen or bathroom tap after a
motionless period in the plumbing system of at least six hours. Samples must be collected every third
calendar year between June 1 and September 30 in the year they are collected. This water system last
collected lead and copper tap water samples in 2019 and the next samples are due in 2022. Note there is no
benefit to sampling prior to the scheduled year.
Sample Type Frequency Sample Location Remark
Lead and Copper 5 every 3RD year Distribution Taps Jun 1 to Sep 30

GSW-W-24-01 IPUC DR 40 Attachment 1
Page 10 of 154
Monitoring Violations
There is one failure to monitor violation on record in the past five years.
Record Keep
The water system is reminded to maintain accurate and complete testing records, and to make these available
to DEQ upon request. Per Idaho Rules for Public Water Systems and Federal CFR 141.33, records of
bacteriological analyses are to be kept for not less than five years, and records of chemical analyses are to be
kept for not less than ten years. The water system is advised to review all applicable statutes for additional
requirements.
Monitoring and reporting requirements were noted at the time of inspection:
Monthly total coliform bacteria samples are required to be collected from representative areas in distribution
and according to a DEQ-approved sampling site plan. Report the rotated total coliform monitoring locations
on the updated DEQ sample site plan form available on the web at htlp://www.deg.idaho.gov/water-
Quality/drinking-water/revised-total-coliform-rule/. Submit a copy of the completed form to the local DEQ
office via email or mail. Ensure the rotation list does not include a tap in the school that is treated by the UV
disinfection treatment unit.
SYSTEM MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION
Consumer Fees
The Bitterroot water system is regulated by the IPUC and is currently operating under the tariff for Bitterroot
Water Company, Inc. effective February 1, 2006. Water users are charged a base rate of$21 per month for
up to 15,000 gallons. Overage fees are $1.73 per thousand gallons per month. Other miscellaneous charges
include hook-up fees, reconnection charges, and returned check charges.
DEQ Fees
The water system appears to be current with drinking water program fees paid to DEQ.
Cross Connection Control Program
DEQ files indicate the Bitterroot water system has historically implemented an adequate cross connection
control program(CCCP). Since the transfer of ownership in April 2020, another CCCP of equal adequacy
has been newly implemented according to allowances in the IPUC tariff.
A CCCP is also required by DEQ Rules to protect the water system against contamination and pollution from
cross connections. The following are minimum standards required of Community water systems per IDAPA
58.01.08(552)(06):
a) An inspection program to locate cross connections and determine suitable protection;
b) Installation and operation of adequate backflow prevention assemblies;
c) Annual inspections and testing of installed assemblies by a licensed tester;
Page 10 of 15

GSW-W-24-01 IPUC DR 40 Attachment 1
Page 11 of 154
d) Discontinue service where suitable protection is absent for a cross connection;
e) Repair, replace, or isolate failed or defective assemblies within ten business days.
The water system may find these measures to be helpful in keeping the CCCP actively implemented:
1) Train coordinators and operators to be familiar with Pacific Northwest Cross Connection Control
Manual, American Water Works Association, University of Southern California, and Uniform
Plumbing Code guidance documents;
2) Train coordinators and operators to understand backflow prevention measures and to properly
determine adequate protections;
3) Conduct initial cross connection surveys of every property in the service area;
4) Follow up and act upon issues of non-compliance;
5) Maintain adequate records of all program activities and results;
6) Periodically evaluate existing ordinances, resolutions, and/or bylaws for compliance with current
DEQ Rules.
Management requirements were noted at the time of inspection:
Continue to work with the DEQ engineering section to satisfy requirements to address record drawings, post-
construction reports, facility planning, and DEQ review comments as outlined in DEQ correspondence dated
November 4, 2019 (EDMS record number 2019AGD6785).
Management recommendations were noted at the time of inspection:
Develop operation and maintenance manuals for the water system.
OPERATOR COMPLIANCE WITH STATE REQUIREMENTS
DEQ Rules require that all public drinking water systems and distribution facilities be classified based on
indicators of potential health risk. Criteria used to determine the potential health risks include the system's
complexity, size, and source water for treatment facilities; complexity and size of distribution systems; and
other criteria deemed appropriate. The Rules also require that public drinking water systems be staffed by
licensed operators based on the system classification. The water system is currently classified as a very
small water system(VSWS).
Water system owners are responsible for ensuring that public drinking water systems are adequately
supervised by properly licensed operators, and it is DEQ's responsibility to provide oversight. The Idaho
Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL) is responsible for administering the system of
licensure for public drinking water operators.
DEQ database records indicate Cole Rayner is the primary responsible charge operator for the drinking water
system, and DOPL database records indicate that Cole Rayner(License#DWD I-19173) is adequately
licensed to operate the drinking water system. Leslie Abrams-Rayner(License#DWT1-15876 and DWDI-
14223) serves as a secondary operator of the water system.
Page 11 of 15

GSW-W-24-01 IPUC DR 40 Attachment 1
Page 12 of 154
Operator and State requirements were noted at the time of inspection:
Water systems must update their classification rating every five years and submit the results to DEQ. A form
for completing this requirement is available on the web at: http://www.deg.idaho.gov/water-quality/drinking-
water/pws-classification-licensure/system-classifications/
OTHER ELEMENTS
Source Water Assessment Report
Source Water Assessment describes the public drinking water wells, the well recharge zones, and potential
contaminant sites located inside the recharge zone boundaries for a public water supply. This assessment,
taken into account with local knowledge and concerns, should be used as a planning tool to develop and
implement appropriate protection measures for the public water system.
The Gem State—Bitterroot Water Company (PWS# 1280260), Source Water Assessment Reports for Well#1
E0005561 and Well#2 E0005553 were originally completed March 14, 2002 with updated information
added in January 2019 and January 2020. The reports contain information for Well#1 and Well#2 and are
available online at the following web address: http://Www2.deg.idaho.govlwaterlswaOnlinelSearchSwa.aspx.
Source Water Protection Plan
The water system does not appear to have a voluntary Source Water Protection Plan prepared by DEQ.
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 Source 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 Source 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.
Other recommendations were noted at the time of inspection:
1) Implement a voluntary Source Water Protection Plan and certify it through DEQ. This process will
add to the protection of the source and may enhance the water system's qualification for some types
of funding. Contact John Jose at 208.666.4620 or john.jose(a),deq.idaho.gov

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR EXISTING WATER SYSTEMS
As a reminder, all material modifications of existing public water systems require the submittal of plans and
specifications for DEQ review and approval prior to construction. IDAPA 58.01.08(504)(03). For all future
improvements, water system purveyors are advised to contact DEQ in the planning stages of projects to
determine applicable submittal requirements.
Material Modification: Those modifications of an existing public water system that are intended to increase
system capacity or alter the methods or processes employed. Any project that adds source water to a system,
increases the pumping capacity of a system, increases the potential population served by the system or the
number of service connections within the system, adds new or alters existing drinking water system
components, or affects the water demand of the system is considered to be increasing system capacity or
altering the methods or processes employed. Maintenance and repair performed on the system and the
replacement of valves,pumps,or other items with new items of the same size and type are not considered a
material modification. IDAPA 58.01.08(003)(72)
As a reminder, all existing water systems that are substantially modified must meet certain requirements in
specific sections of the Rules: IDAPA 58.01.08(501.07.b, 552.O1.v.1, and 513.01). If the drinking water
system has been or will be substantially modified, notify DEQ and plan for improvements that will bring
applicable infrastructure into compliance with the current version of these Rules.
Substantially Modified: The Department shall consider a public water system to be substantially modified
when, as the result of one(1)or more projects,there is a combined increase of twenty-five percent(25%)or
more above the system's existing configuration in the population served or number of service connections,
the total length of transmission and distribution water mains, and the peak or average water demand.
SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCES:
Significant Deficiency As identified during a sanitary survey, any defect in a system's design, operation,
maintenance, or administration, as well as any failure or malfunction of any system component,that the

Sanitary Survey Report
Water System Spirit Lake East Survey Date July 25, 2023
PWS# ID1280176 Source(s) Groundwater
County Kootenai PWS Type Community,Treated
Inspector Mike Anderson Connections/Pop 350/875
System Rep(s) Cole Rayner Others present None
Narrative
The Spirit Lake East water system supplies drinking water year-round to a rural residential community of
approximately 350 connections.The drinking water is supplied by one ground water well source located in a well
house on a large, secured lot. Ground water is pumped from the well to a 200,000-gallon concrete storage reservoir
on the well lot. Before entering the storage reservoir, a 12.5%solution of sodium hypochlorite is injected into the
well discharge piping near the well head.This voluntary disinfection is to maintain an acceptable residual in the
distribution system for precautionary safety reasons.Three booster pumps in an accessible buried concrete vault
push water to the distribution system to meet user demands.The distribution system consists of 6-inch PVC piping to
350 metered residential service connections.A pressure-reducing valve station in the distribution system controls the
pressure to a lower-elevation pressure zone.
Sources
The system is supplied by one groundwater well.The well is located inside a well house on a large,fenced lot.Well
construction was completed in December 1974 and was drilled to a depth of 600 feet.The well has a 16-inch steel
casing with a 300-foot seal of puddling clay. No pump test was performed at that time and the static water level was
recorded at 558 feet.The well head is surrounded by a concrete floor in the well house with a well cap and discharge
pipe.The well contains a 100 hp Peerless submersible pump according to the previous sanitary survey,which
operates at a flow rate of 500 gpm.The well pump delivers groundwater through the control piping in the pump
house and to a ground level storage reservoir,turning off and on depending on the level of water inside.
Treatment
The system is not required to provide treatment to the groundwater, but it does provide voluntary treatment for
precautionary reasons and to maintain a chlorine residual in the distribution system.The treatment chemical is a
12.5%solution of sodium hypochlorite.The solution is injected into the water through a treatment port in the well
discharge pipe,shortly after the well head.
At the time of inspection,the chemical injection diaphragm pump was located on one of the solution tanks, adjacent
to the well and control piping in the well house. Normally,the chemicals and injection pump are located in the well
house, but in a containment room next to the control room.The chemical tanks and injection pump were temporarily
moved from the containment room for some insulation work that was done in the pump house but was not yet
moved back to the containment room.
Well House
The well house contains the above-ground piping for the single system well.The discharge pipe is equipped with a
chemical injection port,followed by an instantaneous-read and totalizing flow meter, and a pump-to-waste discharge
line,which discharges outside of the well house. Piping then leads to a gate valve, and a threaded hose bib for
collecting water quality samples. Next is a pressure gauge and eleven 81-gallon hydropneumatic tanks. Piping then
goes through the floor and is buried from there to the storage reservoir. The well house is also equipped with well
pump controls and booster pump VFD controls for the buried booster station adjacent to the storage reservoir.
1

GSW-W-24-01 IPUC DR 40 Attachment 1
Page 34 of 154
The hydropneumatic tanks are connected to the system but are not being used.They are only put online through
manual valve control for emergency pressure and storage situations, should any arise.The tanks are each equipped
with isolation valves and threaded hose bibs for flushing. Each hose bib is required to have an atmospheric vacuum
breaker installed.
Much of the well discharge mainline shows signs of corrosion and signs of moisture dripping on the floor below the
pipes,with the initial 4-6 foot section immediately downstream of the well head being the worst section.
The piping does not contain an accessible check valve before the control valve and does not contain a smooth-nosed
sample tap before the chlorine injection port. When the well discharge pipe is replaced then these are required to be
installed.
Storage
The system has one storage reservoir.The storage reservoir is a 200,000-gallon ground-level concrete tank.The
circular tank has a flat roof,with a constructed and pitched wood-frame roof covering.Access to the storage
reservoir is a rectangular steel hatch located on the roof.The hatch is locked and properly sealed and raised above
the reservoir roof.Also on the reservoir roof is an air vent,which is a pvc pipe, properly screened and turned
downwards.The storage reservoir does not have a drain. It does have two overflow pipes,which are properly
directed away from the reservoir through screened openings.
The storage reservoir appears that it may have been constructed in two parts with a seam in the middle, as there are
many points of leakage around most of the reservoir circumference near the middle of the outside wall.The operator
stated that the tank undergoes an annual repair of these leaks, and that the tank was last inspected and cleaned in
July of 2021.
Distribution
Next to the storage reservoir is a buried booster pump vault. Inside the concrete vault is a manifold pipe with an
electronic pressure gauge tied to the VFDs in the pump house.Two booster pumps branch from the manifold pipe
and deliver system pressure.A third, larger booster pump serves as a backup pump. Each booster pump has control
valves upstream and downstream, but only the large booster pump has a check valve between the pump and the
downstream gate valve.
The distribution system consists of 6-inch PVC piping to 350 residential service connections.There are no dead-end
mains and the system does not have fire hydrants.The system operates on two pressure zones.A buried pressure-
reducing valve station is located before the area of the system that is lower in elevation.
If at any time there is a depressurization event,where pressure is known to drop below 20 psi, notify DEQ, provide
public notice to the affected customers within 24 hours, and disinfect or flush the system as appropriate. When
sampling and corrective procedures have been conducted and after determination by DEQ that the water is safe,you
may re-notify the affected customers that the water is safe for consumption.
Monitoring
This water system is classified as a community public water system and is required to send in monthly coliform (TCR)
tests, and annual tests for nitrate and disinfection byproducts. Lead and copper samples are required to be collected
every three years. Sampling and testing requirements appear to be in compliance.
The monitoring requirements for the water system include inorganics and total coliform samples as describe in the
monitoring schedule of the SDWIS Switchboard at: https://www2.deg.idaho.gov/water/monitoringschedulereport.
2

GSW-W-24-01 IPUC DR 40 Attachment 1
Page 35 of 154
The total coliform and lead and copper sample site plans were discussed, however formal documents have not been
submitted to DEQ. Both sample site plans must be submitted in response to this sanitary survey.Templates may be
accessed from the public water system switchboard:
https://www2.deg.idaho.gov/admin/LEIA/index.html?view=folder&id=2728.
Financial and Managerial
Since the last sanitary survey in 2016,the water system has been purchased by Gem State Water.The previous
owner, Leslie Rayner, remains as the administrative contact and designated operator of the system.The system is
managed well, and nothing has changed from a practical standpoint with the change in ownership.
Water operators Leslie and Cole Rayner are current with their drinking water licenses. The water system is current
with drinking water fees.
Cross Connection Control
As per the Idaho Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems,the water system is required to have a written and
approved cross connection control (CCC) program that meets minimum requirements of IDAPA 58.01.08.552.06 as
follows. A CCC program is not on file with DEQ and was not available for review. This is classified as a deficiency
requiring a response.
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.
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) Discontinuance of service to any structure,facility, or premises where suitable backflow protection has not
been provided for a cross connection.
4) 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.

Findings
Deficiencies Requiring Corrective Action Plan
Within 30 days of receiving this Report, consult with DEQ and submit to the Coeur D'Alene Regional Office, in writing,
a corrective action plan including planned completion dates for each identified deficiency.
1. Wells
Question#10- Is a raw water smooth nosed sample tap provided on the discharge pipe?(Prior to any treatment) No.
Note: Two threaded raw water sample taps are located on the discharge pipe. One is located upstream of the
treatment injection location and one is located downstream of the treatment injection location. Both sample taps
need to be changed to smooth nosed taps.
The discharge pipe for Well 1: E0005365 does not provide a sample tap that is properly located, or the sample tap
that is used to collect bacteria samples is not of the smooth-nosed type without interior or exterior threads (IDAPA
58.01.08.511.01).
A raw-water sample tap should be smooth-nosed with no interior or exterior threads, screen, aerator, or other
attached appurtenances to allow for proper sampling techniques and to decrease the risk of contaminating a sample
during collection.
2. Wells
Question#18- Is adequate backflow protection provided on all threaded taps installed in the pump house? No.
Note: All hydropneumatic tanks are equipped with threaded hose bibs for flushing. These all need to have
atmospheric vacuum breakers installed on them.
All threaded hose bibs installed in the pump house for Well: E0005365 are not equipped with an appropriate
backflow prevention device (IDAPA 58.01.08.541.01.n).
An appropriate backflow device(typically a hose bib vacuum breaker)protects the potable water supply from
contamination should a back-siphonage backflow event occur.
Submit planned completion dates to DEQ within 30 days of this letter.
3. Wells
Question#19-Are there signs of equipment damage due to excess heat, moisture, or corrosion? Yes.
Note: Discharge pipe from the well is heavily corroded and needs to be replaced.
There is not adequate ventilation in the pump house for dissipation of excess heat and moisture from the equipment
for Well: E0005365 (IDAPA 58.01.08.541.01.e).At the time of the inspection,there was evidence of corrosion of
metallic components from excessive heat and/or moisture.
Excess moisture in a pump house can lead to premature failure of electrical control systems and create unsafe
conditions for operators. Extremely high temperatures may also damage electric motors.
Submit planned completion dates to DEQ within 30 days of this letter.
4. Storage Tanks
Question#13- Is the storage structure secure from unauthorized access?(Fencing, locked manholes, etc.) No.
4

GSW-W-24-01 IPUC DR 40 Attachment 1
Page 37 of 154
Note: The storage structure is locked and secured. However, the booster pump vault for the storage reservoir is not
locked. Part of the fencing on the lot is heavily sagging, does not prevent unauthorized entry to the lot, and thus to
the booster pump vault. The booster pump vault needs to be equipped with a lock or other means to secure access or
the fencing around the lot needs to be repaired or both.
Fencing, locks on access manholes, and other necessary precautions have not been provided for Storage Tank:
ID1280176STO1 to prevent trespassing,vandalism, and sabotage (IDAPA 58.01.08.544.04).
Maintain storage tanks in a manner to deter unauthorized entry, vandalism, and sabotage to protect from
contamination.
Submit planned completion dates to DEQ within 30 days of this letter.
5. Treatment Plants
Question#24- Is secondary spill containment provided for all bulk liquid chemical containers? (110%of container
volume) No.
Note: Pump house wall insulation work required the temporary relocation of the chemical solution tanks from the
spill containment room to the floor near the well and pumping appurtenances. Injection and solution tubing needs to
be secured to the repaired wall and solution tanks and pumps relocated to the spill containment room.
There is no means to contain bulk liquid chemical container leaks and/or spills (IDAPA 58.01.08.531.02.j.viii).
A method of preventing bulk liquid chemical container leaks or spills must be provided to prevent contamination of
the drinking water.
Submit planned completion dates to DEQ within 30 days of this letter.
6. Distribution Systems
Question#21- Is an adequate cross connection control program provided and implemented?(Community PWS only)
(Authority to implement, inspection program, adequate protection, annual testing, ability to discontinue service, 10
days to repair a failed device) No.
Note: The operator stated that a cross-connection control program is in place by Gem State Water. DEQ does not
have a record of this program and one needs to be submitted.
The PWS owner/operator has not implemented a cross connection control program that includes the minimum
requirements (IDAPA 58.01.08.552.06).A cross connection control program needs to be developed and/or
implemented.
Cross connections are significant sanitary risks that threaten drinking water quality and public health. Successful
control of cross connection hazards depends not only on inspecting for cross connections, but also on an enforceable
and implemented cross connection control program.

Deficiencies:
Deficiencies must be corrected when feasible or during modifications of existing processes or facilities.
1. Storage Tanks
Question#8- Is leakage evident at time of inspection? Yes.
Note: It appears this concrete storage tank may have been constructed in two pieces. There is evidence of leaking
around most of the circumference of the structure near the middle. This has been ongoing for years as evidenced by
the sanitary survey conducted in 2017. The system regularly conducts annual maintenance and repairs of the leaking
locations.
The Storage Tank: ID1280176STO1 was observed to be leaking at the time of inspection (IDAPA 58.01.08.544.09).
A leak in the storage structure indicates tank damage and creates an environment where algae, bacteria, and
pathogens can grow and potentially lead to a waterborne disease outbreak.
2. Storage Tanks
Question#14- Does the drain discharge in a way to prevent contamination and erosion around the tank? (Discharge
to daylight over drainage structure or splash plate,screened, adequate air gap, etc.) No.
Note: This storage tank does not have a drain. Installation of a drain is required if the tank undergoes any material
modification.
Storage Tank: ID1280176STO1 does not have a drain.A drain is required to be installed if the tank undergoes any
material modification (IDAPA 58.01.08.544.01.b).

3. Pumps
Question#4- Is each pump equipped with an accessible check valve?(on the discharge side before the shut-off valve)
No.
Note: There is not an accessible check valve on the discharge side of the well pump before the control valve inside the
pump house. One needs to be installed when the discharge pipe from the well is replaced.
An accessible check valve is not provided on the discharge line between the well pump and the shut-off valve (IDAPA
58.01.08.511.04-well pumps or IDAPA 58.01.08.541.03.a. -water pumps). Install an accessible check valve next time
material modifications occur to this section of the water system.
A check valve allows flow in one direction and prevents back flow(reverse flow)if water in the line reverses direction.
The check valve is intended to prevent the system from draining and prevents the pump from excessive cycling.
4. Treatment Plants
WELL 1 TP(E0005365T)
Question#4- How many gallons of water are treated per day? Unk.
Note: This was not reviewed during the inspection.
The Owner/Operator of the public water system should identify how many gallons of water are treated per day.
Recommendations:
Recommendations identified in this Report are not required to be corrected at this time, however it is recommended.
1. Chlorinators
Question#14- Is the free chlorine residual measured daily at the entry point?(Recommended) No.
Note: Free chlorine residual near the entry point is measured weekly.
The free chlorine residual should be measured daily at the entry point to the distribution system.

SUMMARY
The Bar Circle S Ranch Water System is a privately owned water system serving the Bar Circle S Ranch
subdivision, Garwood Business Center subdivision, Double T Estates subdivision, Country Estates, and the
Garwood Elementary School. Located on the south side of W. Garwood Rd between Circle S. Trail and N
Dylan Ct., 5 miles northwest of Rathdrum, in Kootenai County, Idaho.
There are 3 wells on this system. Well #1 and well #3 are the primary producers. Well #3 is the primary
well for this system (lead), well #1 is second in production (lag) and well #2 operates when needed. All
wells draw from the Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer. Storage for this system consists of a 185,000 gallon
reservoir with dedicated feeder lines from wells 1, 2, and 3. Booster pumps draw from the reservoir to
provide boosted pressure to distribution.
A primary logic controller (PLC) system in the booster station generates the call for water from wells 1, 2,
and 3 based on pressure transducer readings in 10 ductile iron outlets of the reservoir. Auto-dialer alarms
are generated from the PLC via cellular notices to the responsible charge operator in the event of low or
high reservoir level, power failure or actuation of the 110 hp fire pump. D&J critical power

checks/maintains generators quarterly. A 125kW diesel generator equipped with secondary containment
(double lined barrel) provides back up power to well 2 and the booster pumps (including fire pump). A
natural gas Cummings brand generator provides backup power to wells #1 & #3. Kilowatts produced is
needed information for this generator and will be requested under "additional requirements". The system
maintains an emergency intertie with the neighboring Alpine Water District. A gate valve provides
separation between the two approved water supplies.
This system serves 253 connections and 633 people. Gem State is the management entity. Their parent
company is Northwest Natural Water of Idaho. The designated licensed operator in charge is Cole Rayner.
Mr. Rayner was on site with DEQ to perform the survey.

Well #1 was drilled in 1977 and is located on North Circle S Trail on a 0.98 acre parcel owned by Bar Circle S.
Water Inc. The well is protected inside a locked well house and meets all required setbacks from potential
sources of contamination. Well Driller's Report on file indicates the 16-inch steel-cased well was cable tool
drilled to a depth of 342 ft below ground surface (bgs) and constructed with a 50- grout cement grout and
puddling clay surface seal. The well was equipped with a telescoping screen from 322 to 342ft. Static water
level was reported at 260 ft bgs.
The well is equipped with a 60-horsepower submersible pump producing approximately 450 gallons per
minute (gpm). The well rides its own feeder line to the storage reservoir. The reservoir discharges to
distribution via signal from the pressure transducer installed on the 10-inch ductile iron outflow main on the
185,000 gallon reservoir. Valves are installed on Circle S Trail adjacent to the well lot to isolate the connection
to the reservoir and allow for the well to discharge to waste via a fire hydrant on the well lot property. The well
discharges via a pit-less adaptor to a below grade vault constructed from steel culvert and houses well
discharge appurtenances. Discharge appurtenances include: an instantaneous and totalizing flow meter, check
and gate valve, pressure gauge and source sample tap.The well is set up to lag after well #3 leads.

Well #2 was drilled in 1993 and is located at 654 W. Garwood Road on a .42 parcel owned by Bar Circle S
Ranch Water Inc. The well meets all required setbacks from potential sources of contamination. The Well
Driller's Report on file indicates the 6-inch cased well (8 inches to 20 feet bgs) was air rotary drilled to a
depth of 360 feet bgs and constructed with a 20-ft bentonite clay surface seal. The well was drilled
through multiple layers of sand, gravel, and clays. A static water level was reported at 260-ft bgs. A
mushroom vent equipped with screen is installed on the well cap.
This well is equipped with a 5 hp submersible pump producing approximately 30 gpm. The pump is
actuated by the ultrasonic level sensor installed in the reservoir outlet. The well discharges via pitless
adaptor into the booster pump building to supply the reservoir. A flow meter, sample tap, and isolation
valve are installed on the galvanized well discharge in the booster pump building.
Under regular operating conditions, the well discharges to the reservoir. Gate valves are provided on well
discharge to isolate flow to the reservoir and discharge directly to distribution. A pressure gauge was not
observed at the time of inspection. Additional Requirement: Please provide a picture of pressure gauge for
well #2.
Well#3 (E0010065)
Original Construction Date: 3-15-1993 Well Log: Yes

Well #3 was completed in March 2016 and sits on the same lot and is manifolded with well #1 at North
Circle S Trail. The well was drilled approximately 20 feet north of the existing well house and meets all
required setbacks from potential sources of contamination. The Driller's Report is on file and indicates the
10-inch steel cased well was air rotary drilled to a depth of 340 feet bgs and constructed with a 60-ft
bentonite grout surface seal. The well has a slot size 0.50 inch screen from 318 to 338 feet. Static water
level was reported at 250-ft bgs. The well routinely operated in lead and well #1 in lag.
The well is equipped with a 60-hp submersible pump producing approximately 650 gpm. The well
discharges via pitless adaptor to a concrete vault located inside the well house building. Well discharge
appurtenances include and instantaneous and totalizing flow meter, check valve, and gate valve.
Discharge appurtenances include a smooth nosed sample tap, pressure gauge and screened vent in the
west wellhouse. This well can be isolated and discharged to waste.
Well #3 discharges via a designated 6-inch main to supply the reservoir. The well is configured to actuate
based on setting relayed from the pressure transducer installed on the 10-inch ductile iron outflow main
to the reservoir. Valves are installed on Circle S Trail adjacent to the well lot to isolate the connection to
the reservoir and allow for the well to discharge to the 10-inch distribution main.
A GWUDI (Ground Water Under Direct Influence of Surface Water) assessment was completed for well

#2 on November 12, 2003. It was determined that no surface water is influencing the ground water
source.
A Source Water Assessment was completed for wells 1, 2, and 3 on June 03, 2002. Potential contaminant
information was updated on November 27, 2018.
Source water assessments are available at: https://www2.deq.idaho.gov/water/swaOnline/Search
TREATMENT
There is no treatment on this system.
STORAGE
Distribution storage capacity is provided via the 185,000-gallon Mount Baker Silo above grade concrete
reservoir constructed in 1997. Past records indicated original reservoir construction included a lining
between reservoir joints. The reservoir exterior was found to be in excellent condition, no leaks were
observed during the field inspection.
Reservoir levels are maintained via a pressure transducer installed on the 10-inch ductile iron outflow
discharge to distribution. The transducer modulates actuation of wells via the PLC to maintain storage
levels set by the operator. Wells have a dedicated feederliner to reservoir. Well 3 in lead, 1 in Lag, and 2 if
needed to maintain levels in storage.
Part of DEQ's "additional requirements" will include a picture of the reservoir hatch seal and lock. Access
to top of storage reservoir was limited. DEQ requires a lock on the access hatch and a watertight seal. The
overflow discharge outlet was inspected during the survey and found to be adequately equipped with 24-
mesh screen. A recommendation will be included to remove large vegetation on sides of storage.
DISTRIBUTION
The Booster Station provides boosted pressure via five centrifugal pumps housed in the booster station
sharing the 0.4 acre property at 654 W Garwood Road owned by the Bar Circle S Water Co. The reservoir is
configured with a shared 10-inch ductile iron outflow main, check valves preclude the reservoir from
gravity supplying distribution. Rather, gravity supply from the 10-inch ductile iron main supplies the booster
station via a tee located between check vales and reservoir discharge. Under regular operation, four 10-hp
centrifugal pumps and one 110-hp fir pump actuate in response to pressure switch settings in a fixed
rotation as described in the table below (amended from 2016 survey). Booster pumps are equipped with an
automatic low-level reservoir cut off. Booster pumps #2 and #4 were replaced since last survey. The
pressure relief valve, instantaneous and totalizing flow meter, and sample tap are provided on the boosted
discharge to distribution.

The four 10-hp pumps actuate based on pressure switches on boosted discharge. The 110-hp fire pump is
actuated via a separate pressure switch control system (Firetrol, Inc.) monitoring boosted pressure entering
the reservoir.
Three Flexcon H2P120 hydropneumatic tanks ride on boosted discharge. These are new tanks installed
toward the end of 2021. Each tank may be individually isolated and drained. One threaded tap by the tank
on the right needs cross control protection, DEQ suggests an Atmospheric Vacuum Breaker (AVB).
The distribution system serves 253 metered residential connections. Distribution mains consist of 6, 8, and
10-inch Class 160 PVC and C900 main. Distribution pressure ranges between 50 and 70 psi. Past records
indicate construction of a northern booster station. Work for this was never started but will be included in
the upcoming facility plan the system is in the process of developing. Records also indicate distribution
main pressure in the northern zone averages 50 psi, sizing of some service connections may be attributed
to observe flow restrictions by respective customers.
Distribution for this system is primarily looped. All dead-end mains terminating at fire hydrants. There are
63 fire hydrants on this system.
CROSS CONNECTION CONTROL IMPLEMENTATION
The system is required to implement a cross connection control program and it must be in writing. In
response to the survey, please provide DEQ written documentation demonstrating the system's authority to
implement their program and documentation that it is actively implemented.
As per Idaho Rules, the water system purveyor is responsible for implementation of a Cross Connection
Control Program. The water system purveyor is defined as "the person, company, or association who
provides or intends to provide drinking water to the customers and is ultimately responsible for the
public water system operation." The managing authority of the system is ultimately responsible for
implementation of the program. 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
5

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.
DEQ does not have a copy of the Cross Connection Control Plan for this system. Please provide a copy to
DEQ. If the program does not meet minimum required elements, this requirement will be added above as a
deficiency needing corrective action in the plan of correction(POC)
MONITORING, REPORTING, AND DATA VERIFICATION
This water system is classified as a community water system serving greater than 15 service connections
used by year-round residents.
Online tools for reviewing currently updated monitoring schedules are available for viewing on the
web: https://www.deg.idaho.gov/water-quality/drinking-water/public-water-system-switchboard/
Monitoring schedules may be changed or modified by DEQ as required. Before sampling,water
system operators are advised to review the monitoring schedule for the most current requirements to
ensure compliance.
6

GSW-W-24-01 IPUC DR 40 Attachment 1
Page 63 of 154
The water system is reminded to maintain accurate and complete testing records, and to make these
available to DEQ upon request. Per DEQ Rules and Federal CFR 141.33, records of bacteriological analyses
are to be kept for not less than five years, and records of chemical analyses are to be kept for not less than
ten years. The water system is advised to review all applicable statutes for additional requirements.
DEQ does not have a copy of the Lead and Copper Site Sample Plan and Total Coliform Site Sample plan for
this system. Please provide copies of both sample plans to DEQ. If no plans are available, contact DEQ for
correct form to update and return to DEQ.
FINANCIAL AND MANAGMENT
Bar Circle S Ranch is operated by Gem State Water. Cole Rayner is the designated operator in charge of the
water system. Mr. Rayner holds a DWD1 — 19173 licensure with Idaho Division of Occupational and
Professional Licenses. This meets operator requirements for this water system. It is classified as a Very
Small Water System.
This system's accounting services are managed by Gem States parent company to Northwest Natural Water
of Idaho.
Bar Circle S Ranch is current with payment on their drinking water fees with the State. 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.
SMART Financial planning tools are available on the Idaho DEQ public water system
switchboard at: https://www.deg.idaho.gov/water-quality/drinking-water/public-water-sVstem-
switchboard/
SOURCE WATER PROTECTION PLAN
The water system does not appear to have a Source Water Protection Plan prepared by DEQ or Idaho
Rural Water Association. Source 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 source 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 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 pollution prevention activities and
implementation of Best Management Practices.
3. Every plan should also include a public education and information component.
7

GSW-W-24-01 IPUC DR 40 Attachment 1
Page 64 of 154
DEQ recommends that the water system pursue a Source Water Protection Plan to establish further
protective measures against contamination in the watershed. A regional DEQ Drinking Water Compliance
officer may be contacted at 208-666-4630 for further information regarding the plan.
Part of a Source Water Protection Plan can include emergency response planning. Knowing what to
do, who to call and what resources are available, and where, can make a difference in emergency
situations. For more information on how to create a FREE source water protection plan or emergency
response plan contact your regional DEQ office.

OVERALL SYSTEM FACILITIES
The Troy Hoffman Water Corp water system(system)is operated year-round. It is supplied by one 30-inch
hand-dug well equipped with two pumps. Each pump supplies it's respective hydropneumatic pressure tank.
The discharges from Tank A(4,000 gallons)and Tank B (3,000gallons)are manifolded before continuing to
distribution. Inaddition to Distribution,Tank (4,000gallons)alsosupplies an underground sprinkler system
used to irrigate the well lot. Distribution consists of asbestos-cement(AC)and C900 water main with 147
metered connections, 7 flushing hydrants,and 2 fire hydrants.

WATER SYSTEM HISTORY
The system was formed circa 1956 and the well lot is located directly south of the East Hoffman Avenue and
North Anne Street intersection, between the residences at 1020 E. Hoffman and 5155 N. Anne. The service
area extends east from Fourth to Fifteenth Street,and north from Day Road to DaltonAvenue. The well,
hydropneumatic tanks and discharge appurtenances are enclosed within a locked well house situated on a
0.08acre well lot (parcel#C-0000-036-8555)owned by Hoffman Troy Water Corporation(in turn owned by
Gem State Water Company, LLC as of October 2021)as per Kootenai County Assessor records.
A 0.5 cubic feet per second, the equivalent of 224 gallons per minute (gpm), municipal water right was
allocated from Idaho Department of Water Resources(IDWR)with a priority date of April 30, 1956.
Troy Hoffman Water Corp is currently working with T-O Engineering to develop a Facility Plan for the
system in an effort to address aging infrastructure,source capacity,system redundancy, and energy
efficiency.
SOURCE
Well Lot
The well lot perimeter is fenced to prevent unauthorized entry.The well lot does not meet the minimum
required setback distance of 50 feet from neighboring property lines. However,well construction precedes the
adoption of the setback Rule (1977).Setback requirements would be enforced in the event the well is subject
to unresolvable contamination attributed to practices within setback distances.According to the previous
survey, "The location of sewermain owned and maintained by the City of the Coeurd'Alene was taken into
consideration at the time sewerservice became available to the Hoffman subdivision. Sewer main was
constructed at a setback radius of greater than 70 feet from the well. Mike Becker with the City of Coeur
d'Alene Wastewater Departmentalso confirmed the nearest pressure sewer mains were greater than one half
mile from all Hoffman water system components."
Well House and Addition
The well and Tank A(see Additional Pumps and Controls)are enclosed within the secured Well House (east
side)equipped with adequate lighting, heat,and ventilation. The Well House is not equipped with a floor
drain.
There did not appear to be pooling or water damage, which could be attributed to graded floors,
according to the operator. However,flooding protection must be considered during the facility planning
process,as well as otherpump house requirements.
The well casing is sealed by a concrete pedestal and extends approximately 24 inches above grade.Well vent,
electrical,and pump discharge lines route through a steel plate sealed to the pedestal.
The Well House Addition (west side)houses Tank B(see Additional Pumps and Controls)and lag pump
appurtenances,including the flow-to-waste line and pressure gauge.A push lawnmower that the system uses
for well lot maintenance is stored in this room; it is required to be stored and refueled off-site from the well
lot.
Well 1
The following table outlines well construction information for the source.A well log (driller's report)for Well 1
could not be located;all information was gathered via previous survey reports.

Well 254 230 30/unk unk/Steel unk unk/unk 1957
Well 1 (tag no. E0005232)is equipped with "twosubmersible three-phase pumps installed in the well casing,"
each withtheir respective discharge lines.A 30HP Grundfos pump (equipped with soft start,installed 2009)
operating in lead discharges approximately 300gpm to Tank A.A 20HP Red Jacket pump operating in lag
discharges at an estimated 175gpm to Tank B. Pumps are actuated by pressure switches installed on the
discharge lines to their respective tanks.The lead pump actuates on at 55psi and off at 72psi;the lag pump
actuates on at 45psi and off at 70psi.Well pump maintenance and spare parts are provided by a local pump
company utilized by the system.
Because each discharge line can function without the other while serving watertothe public, they will be
evaluated individually for compliance with IDAPA58.01.08.511.The well casing is equipped with a single,
adequately screenedvent thatfunctions for both pumps,as they all extend into the same pit.
Lead Pump Well Discharge Appurtenances
The 30HP leap pump discharge appurtenances include: a raw water smooth-nosed sampletap,pressuregauge,
an isolation valve,an instantaneous and totalizing flow meter,and what is identified as a pressure relief line.
The flow meter was installed without adequate pipe lengthto meet Rule. In addition, the well discharge line
does not include a flow-to-waste line, or an accessible check valve. Upon material modification of this portion
of the system,correction and installation of these items will be required. The line identified as the pressure
relief line discharges outside the well house building and the outlet is equipped with 24-mesh screen.An icicle
forming on the outlet indicates there may be a slow leak from this line. The cause of the leak and purpose of
the line must be investigated and addressed.
Lag Pump Well Discharge Appurtenances
The 20HP lag pump discharge appurtenances include:a flow to waste line,a pressure gauge,and an isolation
valve. According to the operator,the flow-to-waste, line may not be adequately sized to be fully functional as
required by Rule but has not been used since Gem State acquired the system to verify. This line discharges
outside the well house building and the outlet is equipped with 24-mesh screened mushroom cap.This could
be indicative of a pressure relief line ratherthan a flow-to-waste line, and will otherwise direct the flow-to-
waste discharge toward the building. The operator indicates they will pull the cap and attach a line that leads
awayfrom the building if utilizing the flow-to-waste line. Although the flow-to-waste line is equipped with a
check valve, the well discharge line itself is not. In addition, the discharge line does not include a raw water
smooth-nosed sample tap nor an instantaneous and totalizing flow meter.As soon as practical,a sample tap
must be installed on the well discharge line. Upon material modification of this portion of the system,
installation of these items will be required, as well as installing and bringing the flow-to-waste lines for each
pump into compliance with well design rules(see Findings).
In addition,if the system has undergone substantial modification as defined by IDAPA58.01.08.03.136,
source redundancy requirements must be considered as part of the facility planning process. The
burden of proof is on the system to whether they qualify as substantially modified.
Source Water Assessment
A Source Water Assessment report was completed by DEQfor Well 1 in April of 2001 and the Potential
Contaminant Inventory was updated in Januaryof 2020. Reports may be accessed at Source Water
5

GSW-W-24-01 IPUC DR 40 Attachment 1
Page 72 of 154
Assessments Online- Search- DEQ(idaho.gov). There are source water delineation maps, potential
contaminant inventories, and contaminants usceptibility scores for each assessed,active source.
A ground water under direct influence of surface water(GWUDI)determination was completed on May 2,
1995; the source was evaluated as ground water.
TREATMENT
The system does not utilize treatment.
FINISHED WATER STORAGE
The system does not utilize storage outside of the hydropneumatic pressure tanks on site(see Additional
Pumps and Controls].
The system may consider installing storage during the facility planning process, especially if removing
the pressure tanks is part of the path forward.
DISTRIBUTION
According to the Operator,the system serves a total of 147 metered connections with a calculated population
of 367.All but four of the connections have been updated with radio-read meters since Gem State acquired
the system. Distribution consists of 6-inch AC water line, with a portion of 8-inch AC line on Hoffman Avenue
east of the pump house,and 4-inch AC lines serving Timber Avenue and Day Road.Small segments of
distribution main at street intersections were replaced in 1998with C-900 in coordination with a Citysewer
main construction project.
AC line replacement is being considered as part of the facility planning process.
According to the previous survey,"setbacks from gravity sewerandpotable watermain are met.Sewermains
are located down centerlines of streets and potable watermains are locatedin alleyways."Dead end mains
are equipped with a means to flush and flushed twice per year.Other system valves are also exercised
semiannually. Distribution is not equipped with air relief valves.The system provides water efficiency
information on mailers,including the water bill, and on the Gem State Water website.
Fire Flow
The system is equipped with two fire hydrants.According to the previous survey report, "The system does not
provide adequate fire flow as established by the Coeur d'Alene Fire Department to two fire hydrants installed
on 6-inch distribution main... Lack of adequate fire flow presents a risk of damage to main in the event fire
pumps were connected to hydrants. In order to prevent this, operators have notified the Coeur d'Alene Fire
Department regarding this concern. In response the Fire Department does not recognize the two hydrants
supplied by the system. Rather,fire flow is provided to the subdivision from four hydrants supplied by the City
of Coeur d'Alene Water Department and located at Troy, Margaret and Anne Avenues and Easy Street."
E me rge ncy I ntertie
The system is not interconnected with any other drinking water system.
Depressurizations
Since the previous survey, no depress urizations have been reported. Please be reminded, if at any time there is
an event where pressure is known to drop below 20 psi, notify DELL provide public notice to the affected
customers within 24 hours,and disinfect or flush the system as appropriate and approved by DEQ.When
sampling and corrective procedures have been conducted and after determination by DEQthat the water is
safe,you may re-notify the affected customers that the water is safe for consumption.

ADDITIONAL PUMPS AND CONTROLS
Hydropneumatic Tanks
Two flow-through steel hydropneumatic tanks ride on distribution.The east 4,000-gallon tank is identified as
Tank A(installed 1956),and the west 3,000-gallon is identified at Tank B(installed 1966). Each tank is equipped
with a pressure gauge, pressure relief valve,isolation valves,and drain. A portable electric air compressor
located in the well house recharges tanks.The compressor is actuated by a time meter adjusted by the
operatoras necessaryto maintain sight glass level on Tank B;currently the timer is set to approximately 30
minutes per day, and third-party inspections are conducted regularlyto ensure the tanks arefunctioning
properly. The sight glass level on Tank B is assumed representative of both tank levels, as individual tank
effluent discharges to a manifold supplying Distribution. Valves allow for individual tank discharge to be
isolated from distribution;however, well discharge is not plumbed with a tank by-pass to dischargeto
pressure.
As part of the facility planning process, the system is considering removing the pressure tanks
altogether. Until action is taken on this matter, it is recommended these tanks be inspected at least
every five years for structural integrity.
SCADA
Since the previous survey, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)has been installed on the system.
A primary logic controller(PLC)communicating via SCADA panel monitors distribution pressure via pressure
tank data.SCADA allows the operators to have ongoing remote oversight of the system and respond in a
timely manner to system concerns.
Auxiliary Power
Three phase electrical supplies pumps via a designated overhead power connection from Avista.The operator
reports the system has not experienced a power loss since Gem State acquired the system,and the previous
operator reported not experiencing a power loss in over 20 years.
If the system does not wish to provide auxiliary power with upgrades, the burden of proof is on the
system to justify their reasoning through the facility planning process.
MONITORING,REPORTING,AND DATA
The system conducts sampling in accordance with their total coliform and lead&copper sampling plans.The
system participates in the monitoring waiver program and the latest waivers were issued in October of 2020
for the 2020-2022 monitoring period. DEQ is currently accepting waiver applications for the 2023-2025
monitoring period. Compliance monitoring schedules are online within DEQ's public water system switchboard
at Home Page-MonitoringScheduleReport (idaho.gov).
SYSTEM MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION
This system is classified as a community(C)type and a Very Small Water System (VSWS). The Responsible
Charge Operator is Cole Rayner(DWD1-19173,exp. 05/02/2023). Leslie Abrams-Rayner(DWD1-14223, DTD1-
15876,exp. 09/23/2023) of Gem State Water is the system's back-up operator.The system is administered by
Gem State Water.Along with facility planning, the system is also conducting asset management and a rate
study. From the previous survey,the "water rate schedule was updated in 2014. All service connections are
metered and billed a flat rate of$27.50 bi-monthly for a 10,000-gallon usage.An overage of$1.12 for each
additional 1,000 gallons per billing period is charge.A$458 hook up fee is charged for new service
connections."According to the operator,this has not changed,but may change with the conclusion of the rate
study and facility planning process.

Well 1 is equipped with a 30HP pump and subsequent discharge and pressure relief lines. The line identified as
a pressure relief line discharges outside of the well house and is adequately screened. However,an icicle
forming on the outlet indicates a slow leak,which suggests the line is not preventative of contaminants from
entering the well.
The cause of the leak must be identified and addressed. It is also recommended to verify the purpose of the
line identified as a pressure relief line for the 30H P Well 1 pump.

The discharge pipe for the 20HP pump on Well 1 does not provide a sample tapthat is properly located,or the
sample tap that is used to collect bacteria samples is not of the smooth-nosed type without interior or exterior
threads and/or is a mixing faucet and or is of the petcock type and/or has a screen and/or has an aerator
(I DAPA 58.01.08.511.01).
A raw-watersample tap should be smooth-nosed with no interioror exterior threads,screen, aerator,or other
attached appurtenances to allow for proper sampling techniques and to decrease the risk of contaminating a
sample during collection.
The discharge pipe for the 30HP pump on Well 1 is equipped with an adequate sample tap. However, because
each discharge line (20HP pump and 30HP pump) can function without the other while serving water to the
public, they are being evaluated individually for compliance with I DAPA 58.01.08.511.A sample tap must be

End of Section: Deficiencies Requiring Action
DEFICIENCIES—No Immediate Action Required
1. Source-30HP Well Discharge Piping
The 30HP pump distribution line for Well 1 does not provide the necessaryvalves and appurtenances to allow
the well to be pumped to waste at the design capacityof the well via an approved air gap through an approved
non-corrodible screen at a location prior to the first service connection (I DAPA 58.01.08.511.02).
Pump-to-waste capability permits well water to be discharged prior to entering the distribution system. Wells
are typically pumped-to-waste to flush out stagnant water and any potential contaminants, after the well or
pump has been serviced to clear any debris, bacteria,chemicals,and after any known ground water
contamination.
Install pump to waste capabilities the next time material modifications occur to this section of the
watersystem.
An accessible check valve is not provided on the discharge line between the 30HP pump and the shut-off valve
(I DAPA 58.01.08.511.04).
11

GSW-W-24-01 IPUC DR 40 Attachment 1
Page 78 of 154
A check valve allows flow in one direction and prevents back flow(reverse flow) if water in the line reverses
direction. The check valve is intended to prevent the system from draining and prevents the pump from
excessive cycling.
Install an accessible check valve the next time material modifications occur to this section of the water
system.
The installedflow meter on the 30HP pump distribution line for Well 1 was installed without adequate pipe
length(IDAPA58.01.08.511.04).
A flow meter measures total flow(gallons) and flow rate(gpm). A flow meter can help detect changes in the
system so the operator can take corrective action before a serious problem develops as well as provide more
accurate accounting of water production.
To ensure reliable readings,reinstall with adequate pipe length the next time material modifications occur
to this section of the water system.
2. Source-20HP Well Discharge Piping
The 20HP pump distribution line for Well 1 may not provide the necessaryvalves and appurtenances to allow
the well to be pumped to waste at the design capacityof the well via an approved air gap through an approved
non-corrodible screen at a location prior to the first service connection (I DAPA 58.01.08.511.02).
Pump-to-waste capability permits well water to be discharged prior to entering the distribution system. Wells
are typically pumped-to-waste to flush out stagnant water and any potential contaminants, after the well or
pump has been serviced to clear any debris, bacteria,chemicals,and after any known ground water
contamination.
Investigate pump to waste line capabilities at the "capa city of the well"to determine if requirements
are met. If necessary,install pump to waste capabilities the next time material modifications occur to
this section of the water system.
Although there is a check valve on the pump-to-waste line, an accessible check valve is not provided on the
discharge line between the 20HP pump and the shut-off valve (IDAPA 58.01.08.511.04).
A check valve allows flow in one direction and prevents back flow(reverse flow) if water in the line reverses
direction. The check valve is intended to prevent the system from draining and prevents the pump from
excessive cycling.
Install an accessible check valve the next time material modifications occur to this section of the water
system.
The 20HP pump distribution line for Well 1 does not provide an instantaneous a nd tota liz ing flow meter
equipped with nonvolatile memory(IDAPA58.01.08.511.04).
A flow meter measures total flow(gallons) and flow rate(gpm). A flow meter can help detect changes in the
system so the operator can take corrective action before a serious problem develops as well as provide more

RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Facility Planning Considerations
In addition to the Deficiencies above, please consider the following when discussing a path forward with T-O
Engineering and DEQ:
• Flooding and corrosion protection in the Well House and Addition —there are no floor drains
• Source redundancy if the system has undergone Substantial Modification as defined in IDAPA
58.01.01.003.136
• Incorporating Finished Water Storage(IDAPA58.01.08.544),especiallyif removing pressuretanks
• Replacement of asbestos-cement(AC)piping as time and resources allow
2. Records Management:
It is recommended to update system files to reflect current conditions regarding personnel information
included in documents such asthe Cross Connection Control program.
3. HydropneumaticTanks:
DEQ recognizes the system intends to remove the tanks in the future and regularly has a third party inspect
the functionality of the tanks and air compressor. However, hydropneumatictanks should be tested for
structural integrityevery5 years.

System: Happy Valley Water System
PWS #: ID1280220
County: Kootenai
Date of Survey: April 2, 2018
System Representatives Present at Survey: Ken Rickel, Responsible Charge Operator
Surveyed by: Suzanne Scheidt Miller, Senior Drinking Water Analyst
Source: Well
Water System Type: Community
Population: 60
Service Connections: 25 residential metered connections
System Overview
The Happy Valley community public drinking water system (system) is privately owned and
administered by Happy Valley Water System, Inc. The system is supplied by one well, located on a
0.38 acre lot (parcel 51N04W-17-6650), north of the intersection of Hayden Avenue and Happy
Trails Lane, and owned by the system. The well lot is bordered by agricultural fields; application of
herbicides and pesticides is prohibited within a 50 foot radius of the well.

The well is enclosed within a dog house structure attached to the well building. Five
hydropneumatic bladder tanks ride on well discharge to tamper pressure transients to distribution
main.

GSW-W-24-01 IPUC DR 40 Attachment 1
Page 91 of 154
Idaho Public Utilities Commission regulates the privately owned water system.
The system is not equipped with alarms or auto-dialers, nor is a pigtail receptacle for a portable
generator provided. The system does not share an emergency intertie with neighboring purveyors.
Back-up power or an emergency intertie is a strongly recommended to provide system redundancy.
The water system was not designed to provide fire flow.
Well 1 (E0005370) and Discharge Appurtenances
DEQ records indicate the system was first inspected in 1986. The inspection report notes the 8-inch
cased well supplying the system was drilled at an unknown date to a depth of 310 feet. Static water
level was recorded at 270 feet as per DEQ records. A drillers report was not located on the Idaho
Department of Water Resources website nor saved to DEQ files. It is unknown if the well was
constructed with a surface seal. In order to continue to protect the well from potential
contamination, cracks in concrete adjacent to well casing were identified as a deficiency and sealed
by the operator. A gap in the joint of the well casing and cap was identified from photos taken at
the time of the survey and also sealed by the operator. While the casing and cap had separated, a
rubber gasket below the well cap provided a seal to protect the source from contamination. Photos
of repairs are included in the photo log.
The well is equipped with a 25 hp (3 phase) submersible pump set at 300 feet and discharging
between 100 and 125 gallons per minute (gpm). Well actuation is regulated by a 40-68 psi pressure
switch on well discharge (the service area is of similar elevation to the well). Well discharge
appurtenances include an instantaneous and totalizing flow meter, isolation valves, pressure gage,
and sample tap. The well is plumbed to discharge to waste outside the well building. A pressure
relief valve is installed on well discharge and plumbed to exhaust to atmosphere at 75 psi, the outlet
was equipped with 24-mesh screen following the survey(photo-documentation is included in the
photo log).
The well casing is not vented. As per the 2013 survey, IDAPA 58.01.08.511 requires the well cap
be vented if waterable drawdown exceeds 10 feet at maximum pump capacity. The 2013 survey
indicated the system operator did not anticipate well draw down to exceed 10 feet as the well draws
from the Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer. It is strongly recommended the well casing be equipped with a
vent protected with a 24-mesh screen to prevent damage to casing and electrical conduit. A vent
will be required in the event coliform contamination is attributed to the source.
Five hydropneumatic bladder tanks ride on well discharge; each tank may be isolated and drained.
Tanks were last tested in August 2017 (tested every three years) and did not sound water logged at
the time of the survey.
Source Water Assessments have been completed by DEQ,potential contaminant inventories were
last updated in March 2013. Detailed findings may be reviewed and updated at:
http://qpps.deq.idaho.gov/water/swaonline/

Distribution Summary
Record drawings indicate looped distribution main is constructed of 2-inch and 4-inch class 160
PVC main; the operator reported some main may be as small as 11/4-inch PVC. It is unknown if the
system holds easements for distribution main.
Plans also indicate one dead end main was constructed within the southwest zone of distribution.
However, the operator excavated the area following the 2013 survey and reported the dead end main
extension was not constructed; rather the main terminates at the service meter.
It is recommended that flushing hydrants be installed to allow for flushing in the event of
contamination of the distribution system.
The operator indicated there are no air vacuum relief valves installed on distribution main.
As the system receives electrical power from Kootenai Electric Cooperative, energy savings rebates
are available from the Bonneville Power Energy Smart Industrial Program. Rebates may go toward
cost of leak detection and repair as well as pump replacement. For more information,please contact
Layne McWilliams with the Energy Smart Industrial Program in Coeur d'Alene at
layne.mcwilliamskenergysmartindustrial.com or at 971-244-8581.
Required Depressurization Response
The Idaho Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems require the following response to distribution
depressurization(pressure below 20 psi) as per IDAPA 58.01.08.552.0l.b.ii.1-2: during unplanned
or emergency situations, when water pressure within the system is known to have decreased below
20 psi, the water supplier must notify DEQ,provide public notice to affected customers within 24
hours and flush and/or disinfect the system. When sampling and corrective procedures have been
conducted, the water supplier may re-notify the affected customers that water is safe for
consumption. During planned maintenance or repair situations, when water pressure is expected to
fall below twenty (20)psi, the water supplier must provide public notice to the affected customers
prior to planned maintenance or repair activity and shall ensure that the water is safe for
consumption.
Cross Connection Control Implementation
As per Idaho Rules, the water system purveyor is responsible for implementation of a Cross
Connection Control Program. The water system purveyor is defined in the Rules as, the person,
company, or association who provides or intends to provide drinking water to the customers and is
ultimately responsible for the public water system operation. The purveyor is ultimately considered
responsible for implementation of the program.
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
3

GSW-W-24-01 IPUC DR 40 Attachment 1
Page 93 of 154
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.
A copy of the system ordinance providing purveyor authority to implement the program was
provided following the 2013 survey. The document appears to provide purveyor authority to
actively implement the Cross Connection Control program. The operator reported the system has
initiated program implementation through service connection inspections and required installation of
backflow prevention assemblies where required. As an additional requirement to the survey, the
system must continue to implement the program by inspecting all connections, requiring installation
of backflow prevention devices and assemblies where applicable, and tracking annual testing of
backflow prevention assemblies by an Idaho licensed backflow assembly tester.
Monitoring Summary
The system is operating in compliance with all current monitoring requirements and actively
participates in DEQ's monitoring waiver program. Source water quality currently meets all
regulatory drinking water standards. The table below summarizes current monitoring requirements
for the system. The monitoring schedule may also be accessed at: htttp://www.deg.idaho.izov/water-

Sanitary Survey Report
Gem State - Lynnwood Estates - ID1280259
Survey conducted on September 21, 2023
Report generated on October 17, 2023
Narrative
The Lynnwood Estates water system is classified as a community public drinking water system
located approximately a % mile north of Athol, east of Highway 95 along Trinity Lane. The
water system consists of a single drilled well, pressure tanks, and distribution mains serving 24
rural residential connections.
History
Lynnwood Estates was platted in 1962 into 36 lots. Jerry Mortensen had a well drilled in 1991
(well #1) to serve available lots within Lynnwood Estates and the surrounding area. The well
had collapsed at the time of drilling and eventually led to an overproduction of sand in the
drinking water.
Kootenai Investment Company took over the water system and had a second well (well #2)
drilled October 21, 1994. Plans and specifications (P&S) for the well and pump house were
submitted to the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) by Gem State Engineering
in August 1994 and approved by DEQ September 1994. As reported, well #1 was no longer used
but remained listed as a backup well until 2007 when it was inactivated and scheduled for
abandonment.
In April 2010, the water system was notified by the Panhandle Health District (PHD) of being in
violation for exceeding the running annual average maximum contaminant level (MCL) for
arsenic (0.010 mg/L). Various options were explored; including treatment at the source, point-
of-use treatment, or drilling a new well. In March 2013 the well was rehabilitated, beginning
with pulling the pump, sealing the lower portion of the well, re-perforating the casing, and
installing the pump at a higher level. The rehabilitation resulted in a significant amount of fine
material drawn through the perforations, causing a reduced production which could not
support the demands of the entire system. The filled portion of the well was removed and
following that entire process, all arsenic monitoring results have been below the MCL.
Source—Well #2 (DEQ tag# E0005366)
The water system receives its water supply solely from well #2; an 8-inch cased well drilled by
H2O Well Services to a total depth of 394 feet. A well driller's report is on file with PHD and
indicates the 8-inch casing extends the entire depth of the well and is sealed with bentonite to
60 feet. The static water level was reported at 324 feet below the surface with production

tested at 50 gallons per minute. The casing extends 16 inches above the surface and is fitted
with a watertight vented well cap.
The well and pump house are located on a 100 by 100 foot well lot along the north side of
Trinity Lane. A portion of the well lot is fenced to prevent unwarranted access to the well and
pump house; however, the well itself is located only 9 feet from the fence line leaving the well
vulnerable to the uses of the neighboring property.
Pumps & Pump House
The well is equipped with a 15-horsepower submersible pump controlled by a pressure switch
in the pump house.
The pump house is a below ground concrete vault located on the well lot. A locking riser and
ladder are included for access to the vault. It appears that adequate light, heat, and floor
drainage are provided. According to the original plans, the floor drain discharges to drain rock
beneath the vault. Ventilation is provided thru a 4-inch pipe out the roof of the vault which is
properly screened and downturned. The operator monitors oxygen levels prior to entering the
vault.
Contained in the pump vault are the flow to waste line, cycle stop valve, smooth-nosed sample
tap, flow meter, four pressure tanks, pressure switch, and the pump control panel. The
pressure tanks are each equipped with an isolation valve and threaded tap for draining; hose
bib vacuum breakers are provided on each of the threaded taps.
The flow to waste line discharges to a gravel basin located just east of the vault; the open end
of the discharge line is screened and downturned to keep the line clear of insects or debris. The
gravel basin is quick draining and located approximately 20 feet from the well; this was
approved by DEQ in the original plans for the water system in 1994.
Distribution
The distribution system is comprised of 4-inch PVC pipe and is not looped. Two-inch flush
hydrants are located at each of the dead ends and are flushed semiannually. All service
connections are equipped with radio-read meters.
Financial & Managerial Capacity
The water system is owned by Gem State Water Company, LLC and operated by Cole Rayner.
Mr. Rayner holds a Drinking Water Distribution Class I Water System Licenses (DWD1-19173).
Compliance monitoring schedules may be accessed online within DEQ's public water system
switchboard at https://www.deg.idaho.gov/water-quality/drinking-water/public-water-system-

water delineation maps, potential contaminant inventory, and contaminant susceptibility
scores for the well.
Deficiencies:
Deficiencies must be corrected when feasible or during modifications of existing processes or
facilities.
Well #2 (E0O053661
Question#2-Are surrounding land uses creating health hazards or increasing the potential for
source contamination? (Setbacks not met, dumping, etc.) Yes.
Note: The well is on a 100x100 foot well lot; however, the well itself is only 9 feet from the
fence line and large fuel operated machinery is stored on the other side of the fence.
The land surrounding Well #2 has a condition that has the potential to cause a health hazard.This health
hazard may create a danger to the consumer's health (IDAPA 58.01.08.008.01). The PWS owner should
work with the adjacent landowner to control/eliminate potential sources of contamination.
Land use increases the susceptibility of source water contamination.
Financial/Managerial Capacity
Question#10- Cross Connection Control Plan (C only) No.
Note: A copy of the CCCP is not in the file
The PWS owner/operator has not implemented a cross connection control program that includes the
minimum requirements (IDAPA 58.01.08.552.06).A cross connection control program needs to be
developed and/or implemented.
Cross connections are significant sanitary risks that threaten drinking water quality and public health.
Successful control of cross connection hazards depends not only on inspecting for cross connections, but
also on an enforceable and implemented cross connection control program.
Question#11-Asset Management Plan (C and NTNC) No.
Note: Operator stated there is an Asset Management Plan; however, a copy of it could not be
found in the file.
An Asset Management Plan should be established for the PWS. The assets of a water system include the
natural and engineered components for providing water(e.g., source water, pumps, motors, storage
tanks,treatment plants, pipes). A good asset management program typically includes a written plan for
achieving the best appropriate cost for rehabilitation, repair, or replacement of a public water system's
assets.Asset management is effective in maximizing the value of capital as well as minimizing operations
and maintenance expenditures.To learn more about asset management, go to DEQ's website at:

Question#12- Operation and Maintenance Manual (C and NTNQ No.
There is not a complete operation and maintenance (O&M) manual for this public water system (IDAPA
58.01.08.501.12, 003.90, and 003.91).An 0&M manual needs to be developed and/or implemented.
Submit an O&M manual for review and approval. Upon approval,the operator must operate the system
in accordance with the approved O&M manual.At a minimum, include the following items in the O&M
manual:
daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly operating instructions
information specific to a particular type of treatment
location of valves and other key distribution system features
pertinent telephone and address contact information
operator safety procedures
alarm system and emergency procedures
trouble-shooting advice
water quality testing procedures
response plan for depressurization events
customer service procedures
response plan for customer complaints
maintenance information and checklists
manufacturer's product information including troubleshooting information
parts list, spare parts list, and parts order form
necessary special tools
An O&M manual provides procedures to operate and maintain a facility's various systems and
equipment. It is important to analyze and evaluate a facility from the system level, then develop
procedures to attain the most efficient systems integration. Lack of an O&M manual can lead to system
failures and contamination of drinking water.
Question#29- Do all Sample Siting Plan(s) meet the minimum requirements? Unknown
Note: The sample siting plan was not available for review.
• The system owner does not have a current written sample siting plan that meets RTCR
requirements (40 CFR 141.853.a). An RTCR sample siting plan needs to be developed and/or
implemented.
• The system owner does not have a current written sample siting plan that meets Lead/Copper
requirements (40 CFR 141.86). A Lead/Copper sample siting plan needs to be developed and/or
implemented.
A sample siting plan is designed to specify where in the distribution system samples will be drawn to
ensure they are representative of the water system.
Question#30-Are samples being taken in accordance with the Sample Siting Plan(s)? Unknown
Note: The sample siting plan was not available for review.

• RTCR monitoring samples are not being taken in accordance with the approved sample siting
plan (40 CFR 141.853.a).
• Lead/Copper monitoring samples are not being taken in accordance with the approved sample
siting plan (40 CFR 141.86).
Samples not taken in accordance with a sample siting plan, may not be representative of the distribution
system resulting in the water system not receiving credit for sampling.
Recommendations:
Recommendations identified in this Report are not required to be corrected at this time,
however it is recommended.
Financial/Managerial Capacity
Question#9- Can any of the water system's functionality be controlled virtually or over a
network? Yes.
Without proper cybersecurity, a drinking water system is vulnerable to attack.
The EPA recommends all drinking water and wastewater utilities take the following cybersecurity
actions:
* Prioritize remediating known exploited vulnerabilities.
* Enable and enforce multifactor authentication with strong passwords.
* Close unused ports and remove any application not deemed necessary for day-to-day operations.
* Follow the steps outlined in the joint Cybersecurity Advisory to protect your organization from a
potential Hive ransomware attack.
If you suspect that you organization is the victim of a ransomware attack please report to the
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) at https://us-cert.cisa.gov/forms/report and/or
FBI at https://www.ic3.gov/.

2020 Drinking Water Supply Report
Idaho Department of Environmental Quality
Field Inspection Date March 10, 2020
System Representatives Leslie Abrams, Responsible Charge Operator
Surveyed by Suzanne Scheidt, Senior Drinking Water Analyst
Available Sources Well 1 (Primary), Well 2 (Emergency)
Population 138
Service Connections 55 residential connections
A photographic log is enclosed with the narrative report.
System History and Overview
The Diamond Bar Estates water system(system) is under ownership and operation of Gem State
Water Company, LLC.
System engineering plans were submitted to the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality(DEQ)
by Jeff Block, P.E., on behalf of developer Robert Turnipseed in September 1995. Water system
plans including wells, tank and distribution main serving the system were approved by DEQ in
February 1996. The system was first inspected in 1996 and community public drinking water supply
population criteria met in 2001.
In January 2005,plans submitted by Roger Glessner were approved by DEQ for an 8-inch main
extension from the 6-inch main on Atlas Road to serve the 14 lot Boekel Estates residential
subdivision on CJ Court.
System ownership was transferred from Diamond Bar Estates Limited Liability Corporation
(established 2003)to Gem State Water Company, LLC on October 1, 2019.
The system is primarily supplied by well 1 (E0009134). Well 2 (E0009135) functions as an
emergency backup source. Wells draw from the Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer. Well 1 discharges
directly to the 55,000 gallon concrete ground level tank via pitless adaptor and is not plumbed to
discharge to pressure. Under routine operation, two booster pumps operating in lead/lag lift water
from the tank to pressurize distribution main. A third booster pump provides fire flow. The well,
booster pumps and storage tank are constructed on a 1.18 acre lot located at 13919 Rodeo Road,
Rathdrum. The lot is owned by Gem State Water Company, LLC (Parcel Number 0-1774-001-999-
0). Well 2 is drilled on a 59 acre lot(Parcel Number 51N04W-03-3500) owned by Robert
Turnipseed on Atlas Road and plumbed for discharge to pressure via 6-inch Class 160 PVC main.
Chlorination is neither required nor provided.
The system is working toward installation of a primary logic controller with SCADA remote relay
within the year.

Diamond Bar Estates PWS Overview
Source Information
The Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR)website indicates two water rights shared
between wells 1 and 2 have been allocated with a priority date of November 29, 1965. Water Right
No. 95-10068 provides for a municipal beneficial use of 2.7 cubic feet per second(cfs) or 1211
gallons per minute (gpm). Water Right No. 95-10067 provides an irrigation beneficial use between
April 1 and October 31 with diversion rate of 1.3 cfs or 583 gpm. A transfer of IDWR's water right
for well 1 has been filed and scheduled for processing following final adjudication.
Setback distances from potential contamination sources are met at well 1. As per the Asset Purchase
Agreement between Robert Turnipseed and Gem State Water, a one year agreement provides for use
and access to well 2 expires July 31, 2020.
On January 31, 2020, a well site evaluation report was submitted to DEQ for a planned replacement
well to be drilled on the current lot where well 1 is located. The well site field evaluation was
conducted during the survey inspection. Written DEQ approval of the well site was provided to Gem
State on March 10, 2020 (EDMS#2020AGD1133).
Source water assessment delineation reports for the primary and emergency well were completed by
DEQ in June 2013 and updated in January 2020. Individual reports for both sources may be accessed
at: http://www2.deq.idaho.gov/water/swaOnline/Search

Well 1, Storage Tank and Booster Pumps
Well 1 was drilled by Holman Drilling Corporation of Spokane, Washington in 1966 for irrigation
use. Well 1 was later converted from an oil-lubed irrigation well and equipped with a 60 horsepower
(hp) submersible pump producing approximately 570 gpm.
The Driller's Report on file indicates the 16-inch cased well was cable tool drilled to a depth of 373
feet below ground surface (bgs) and constructed with a 94 foot bentonite surface seal. The well is
equipped with telescoping screen from 342 to 373 feet. The lithologic log indicates the well was
drilled through multiple layers of sand, gravel and boulders with a blue clay lens encountered
between 324 and 332 feet. Static water level was reported at 298 feet bgs.
Well 1 is centered on the fenced well lot. A 24-mesh screened mushroom cap vent is installed off the
well cap. Well actuation set points are based on tank float system.
Well 1 discharges via pitless adaptor through the tank and pump building floor to the 55,000 gallon
partially buried rectangular concrete tank. The pitless adaptor enters through the pump building floor
via 4-inch galvanized main. Well 1 discharge may be isolated and routed to waste prior to the tank.
It is required that the retro-fit discharge to waste is routed away from the tank during system
upgrades. A Kent instantaneous and totalizing flow meter(reading 36,439,200 gallons) and smooth
nose raw water sample tap are installed on 4-inch galvanized line prior to tank discharge.
The 55,000 gallon concrete storage tank is constructed below the pump building. A partial baffle
wall between well discharge and booster pump suction lines provides structural building support.
The tank access hatch is within the locked pump building and equipped with an internal gasket.
Small holes in the hatch are required to be sealed and evaluated as a system deficiency. An
adequately screened combined overflow and vent is installed; however, is not downturned and also
evaluated as a deficiency. As the system is undergoing major modification, a separate vent must be
installed and overflow equipped with weighted flapper to prevent dust from entering the tank. Please
provide written timeline for correction within 30 days of receipt of survey report.
Two 5 hp submersible pumps actuated in lead/lag draw from the tank to pressurize distribution
between 38 and 60 psi under normal operation. A third 10 hp fire pump actuates on a 35/60 psi
switch provides fire flow. Boosted discharge appurtenances include: sample tap, isolation valves and
pressure relief valve (opens at 75 psi). The relief valve is required to be routed to atmosphere.
It is strongly recommended that flow meter and pressure transducer are installed on boosted
discharge and communicate with planned PLC and SCADA components to allow for remote
oversight. A control valve on boosted discharge is regularly maintained by a third party contractor.
Significant pipe corrosion was apparent in the pump building, and some isolation valves were
inoperable. This is evaluated as a deficiency. The operator plans to install a dehumidifying system,
remove corrosion and ensure valve actuation. Please provide a timeline for correction within 30 days
of receipt of survey.
Five 119 gallon Well X-trol hydropneumatic bladder tanks ride on boosted discharge to distribution.
Tanks are equipped to be individually isolated and drained. Threaded hose bibb drains are equipped
with atmospheric vacuum breakers. A second sample tap on boosted discharge is downstream of
3

GSW-W-24-01 IPUC DR 40 Attachment 1
Page 134 of 154
hydropneumatic tanks. The bladder in tank number four was found to have failed. The tank has been
valved off(isolated) and the operator has scheduled for replacement by March 31, 2020.
Pump building floor drains gravity discharge through the tank to daylight on the east side of the
pump building.
Well 2
As previously indicated, well 2 is located approximately 2,300 feet west-northwest of well 1 on
private property and enclosed within a locked, heated and ventilated pump building. Prior survey
reports indicated a dedicated well lot needs to be created for the well in the event Mr. Turnipseed
sells or transfers property ownership.
A Driller's Report is not available for the well; however, a pump installation report by Dickerson
Pump and Irrigation Company (1990) indicates the 8-inch cased well was drilled by Hollman Drilling
Corporation to a completed depth of 373 feet in 1975. A static water level of 295 feet was indicated
on the Dickerson report. Well 2 is reportedly equipped with a 15 hp submersible Berkeley pump; the
well pump curve provided by United Crown Pump and Drilling in 2015 indicates a maximum
production rate of 95 gpm.
Well 2 discharges off the well cap through 2-inch galvanized water line. A pressure relief valve and
smooth nosed sample tap are installed on well discharge appurtenances within the well building. A
2-inch galvanized tee discharges through an instantaneous and totalizing flow meter to supply the
residential connection. Supply to the Diamond Bar Estates system is provided via manual actuation
of a gate valve on well discharge appurtenances within the well building. A separate instantaneous
and totalizing flow meter is installed on discharge to the Diamond Bar Estates distribution system.
Well operation is controlled by pressure switches installed off the 600 gallon hydropneumatic
pressure tank. The tank appeared to be structurally sound with water levels monitored via sight glass.
The tank is equipped with a pressure relief valve; air to the tank is supplied by an electric
compressor.
Well 2 discharge routes to distribution main on Atlas Road, an isolation valve on well discharge is
located on the Turnipseed property. The valve was located during the survey and discussion between
operators indicated a valve access easement would be created as required to ensure access to all water
system distribution components.
Distribution System
The distribution system serves 55 metered residential connections. Water mains are constructed of
class 160, 6- and 8-inch pipe providing service to Diamond Bar Avenue, Ramsey Road (between
Diamond Bar Avenue and Boekel Road), and Atlas Road from Boekel to the main loop on Rodeo
Road. A 6-inch Class 160 PVC main runs north on Atlas under Boekel Road to supply CJ Court
(Boekel Estate)via 8-inch Class 160 PVC main. A flushing hydrant on 8-inch main dead end main is
required to be flushed twice per year.
According to Tyler Drecshel, Fire Inspector with Northern Lakes Fire District,the water system
meets fire flow requirements.

Required Depressurization Response
The Idaho Rules require the following response to distribution depressurization as per IDAPA
58.01.08.552.01.b.ii.I - 2: during unplanned or emergency situations, when water pressure within the
system is known to have decreased below 20 psi, the water supplier must notify DEQ,provide public
notice to affected customers within 24 hours and flush and/or disinfect the system. When sampling
and corrective procedures have been conducted, the water supplier may re-notify the affected
customers that water is safe for consumption. During planned maintenance or repair situations,
when water pressure is expected to fall below twenty (20)psi, the water supplier must provide public
notice to the affected customers prior to planned maintenance or repair activity and shall ensure that
the water is safe for consumption.
Cross Connection Control
Diamond Bar Estates initiated a Cross Connection Control Program in June of 2004. The program
includes inspections of services to evaluate potential cross connections, installation of adequate and
suitable backflow protection, annual testing of backflow assemblies by a licensed backflow assembly
tester and discontinuance of service where adequate backflow protection is not available.
An active program will continue to be implemented by Gem State this year. Annual backflow
assembly test reminders will be mailed to customers by April 1, 2020. Backflow testing reports must
be submitted to Gem State by July 1, 2020.
Water Quality Monitoring Overview
The system is in compliance with all current monitoring requirements. The monitoring schedule may
be assessed at: http://www.deq.idaho.gov/water-quality/drinking water/pws-switchboard.aspx.
Source
Well water quality monitoring is below maximum contaminant levels (MCL). The nitrate level from
annual sampling collected in September 2019 was 1.24 mg/L; the maximum contaminant level for
nitrate is 10.0 mg/L. The arsenic level from a sample collected in September 2019 was 0.0019 mg/L;
the maximum contaminant level for arsenic is 0.010 mg/L.
Distribution System
Lead and copper samples collected from five residential locations in September 2019 indicated lead
levels ranging from below minimum detection limits to 0.0024 mg/L, and copper ranging from
0.0224 mg/L to 0.0482 mg/L. The action level for lead in drinking water is 0.015 mg/L; the action
level for copper is 1.3 mg/L.
The system is required to collect one coliform sample per month from rotating locations throughout
distribution. A review of coliform sampling results over the last year indicates coliform samples are
collected from the following distribution locations on a rotating basis: 1990 W Boekel, 14052
Rodeo, and 1798 W Boekel. Please provide an updated total coliform sampling plan within 30 days
of receipt of this report.

remove corrosion and ensure valve actuation.
2. Small holes in the tank hatch are required to be sealed.
3. As the system will be undergoing major material modification, the tank must be equipped
with a designated vent and tank overflow must be equipped with a weighted flapper to
prevent dust from entering the tank.
4. As the system will be undergoing material modification,the retro-fit well 1 discharge to waste
must be routed to discharge away from the tank.
5. The bladder in tank number four was found to have failed. The tank has been valved off from
the system and scheduled for replacement by March 31, 2020.
Requirements—please provide a timeline for completion of requirements within 30 days of receipt
of the survey report.
1. The system is required to continue to operate with a back-up source following termination of
the current lease agreement to utilize well 2.
2. Well 2 discharge routes to distribution main on Atlas Road, an isolation valve on well
discharge is located on the Turnipseed property. The valve was located during the survey and
discussion between operators indicated a valve access easement would be created as required
to ensure access to all water system distribution components.
3. A copy of the updated routine total coliform sample plan is to be provided to DEQ.
4. The dead end main on CJ Lane must continue to be flushed at a minimum frequency of twice
per year.
5. The system is required to continue to implement their Cross Connection Control Program.
6. In the event of system depressurization, Rule requirements detailed on page 5 of this report
must be implemented by the purveyor.

Recommendations—the following recommendations are suggested to optimize system operation
into the future.
1. It is strongly recommended that a flow meter and pressure transducer are installed on boosted
discharge and communicate with planned PLC and SCADA components to allow for remote
oversight.
2. The control valve on boosted discharge should be regularly maintained by a third party
contractor to ensure functionality.
3. All valves should be exercised on a routine basis.
4. Distribution main should be flushed on a routine basis.
