Drinking Water Supply Report
System: Acme Water Works
Date of Suney: October 21,2011
PWS#: 1090254
County: Bonner
System Representative Present at Survey: Bob Hansen, DO
Surveyed by: Jamie Barton, PHD
Source: Groundwater
Water System Type: Transient Non-Community
Population/Connection st 25 / 17
The Acme Water Works water system, located on Schweitzer Mountain in Bonner County,
Idaho, was constructed during the spring and summer of 2008 designed to sen'e 260 residences
on 107 lots in the Schweitzer Viilage subdivision" Currently the water system serves only 17
seasonal connections and is classified as a transient, non-community public drinking water
system. Schweitzer Mountain has very few year round residents, and because of its location and
primary use as a recreation area, it is unlikely that the number of permanent residents will
increase significantly. The resideilces are primarily vacation homes and short term rentals, with
the peak occupansy during winter holiday weeks and weekends.
Tlre initial sanitary survey of the water system was conducted October 21,2U l, evaluating the
source, pump house, reservoir, distribution system, and the PWS file contents.
Source
The water system is currently served by a 6-inch cased well, well#1, drilled September 13,2002
to a total depth of 220 feet. The well is located on a designated well lot; Lot l, Block 4, within
the Schweitzer Village subdivision. It appeared that surface lvvater runoff may flow in the
direction of the well head and it is recommended crowning be completed around the well head.
The well casing extends 2 feet above the surface, fitted with a watertight vented well cap, to 98
feet below ground surface and has a 54 foot aqua grout surface seal. The well production is
estimated to be around 30 gallons per minute. At the time of the survey, the electrical conduit
alongside the well casing was observed to be broken and must be repaired.
A second well, well #2, was drilled August 17,20A6 to a total depth of 210 feet but at this time is
not physically connected. The well is located on a designated well lot; Lot 16, Block 3. It is
strongly reconunended this well be physically connected for system redundancy, however further

AWW - CPCN APPLICATION - ChecklisE Ttem #8
test pumping may be necessary to determine capacity. In addition, due to the small streams in
close proximity to the rvell, a microscopic particulate analysis would be required to rule out the
possibility of surface water influence.
A third well was drilled but did not produce adequate water and will not be developed.
Wells I and 2 have had the full round of initial sampling completed for IOC's, SOC's, and
VOC's with the results being either non-detect or well below the maximum contaminant levels.
The only result showing concern was the Langlier Index for both wells indicating the source
water to be highly conosive. The water system should consider providing corrosion control.
Pump House
The pump house has a locking door; and adequate light, heat, ventilation, ard tloor drainage.
The floor drain reportedly discharges to daylight, however the location of rvhere it daylights was
not located at the time of the suft'ey. Contained in the pump house are the pump controls, tlow
to waste line, Hershey flow meter, and a Well Mate pressure tank riding on the system.
Water was observed to be flowing out the flow to waste line with the gate valve in the closed
position. This would indicate the gate valve to be leaking. The gate valve should be replaced to
avoid creating an ice dam when temperatures drop below freezing. A smooth nose sample tap is
not provided on the well discharge line and must be supplied the next time material
modifications occur in the pump house. Currently a source sample may be obtained from the
flow to waste line. I1 is recommended the discharge line supports be painted to resist rusting.
Storage
A 200,000 gallon concrete reservoir, located off Highland Drive above the subdivision, provides
water storage and pressure for the water system. 'I'he system is not yet automated, thereby
requiring the well pump to be manually turned on to fill the tank. The proper controls must be
installed for the well pumps to provide automatic filling of the reservoir. This is especiall-v
important should an emergency situation occur, such as a fire flow event. The owner of the
system is checking the ievels of the reservoir regularly to report to the operator when it is
necessary to tum on the well pumps.
The reservoir is equipped with two access manhole openings, properl-v screened vents, and an
overflow. The access manholes are at least 4 inches above the reservoir roof; with a water tight,
overlapping, and locking cover. The overflow discharges over a large rock bed to avoid issues
AWW - CPCN APPLICATION - ChecK]-isL ITem #8
Flow to waste line and flow meter Flow to waste valve leaking
with erosion. The overflow does need to be provided with a 24 mesh screen or other method
acceptable 1o DEQ; a larger screen is cr"rrently in place and is collecting debris.
It is recommended the reservoir be inspected annually for integrity and silt buildup, and cleaned
once every five years or as necessary. Due to the seasonal use of the water system and the
potential for stagnant water to become an issue, it is also recommended the water system flush
the reservoir annually.
Distribution
The distribution system is comprised of 8-inch ductile iron, 8-inch PVC, and 4-inch PVC and is
not looped. An air relief valve is located in a vault adjacent to the reservoir. Main line pressure
reducing valves (PRV) are located in vaults; one at Alpine Wa,v and one at Ullr Drive, to
maintain the system pressure between 40 psi and 100 psi.
The air relief vault access has a signi{icant unintended opening near the surface that u,ould allow
surface water and debris into the vault. This must be sealed to avoid accumulation of water and
debris. The vault was not accessed during the survey; however the lid was removed and water
flow could be heard that likely indicates a leak. The floor drain appears to be working as there
did not appear to be any standing w'ater in the vault. An inspection conducted by Sewell and
Associates in 2009 stated the vaive appeared to be non-fimctioning and leaking water. This must
be inspected and corrected to ensure the air relief valve is functioning properly. In addition, the
air relief valve must have a screened vent pipe extending l2-inches above ground.
The Ullr Drive PRV vault was not inspected during the survey. fhe Alpine PRV vault lid was
removed and pictures taken. The vault access needs to be sealed; a large unintended opening
was observed which would allow surface water runoff and debris into the vault.

CPCN APPLICATION - Checklist Item #8
It is recommended that all valves in distribirion be exercised regularly and the water mains
flushed annually. Dead end water mains are required to be flushed at least semiannually.
Fourteen lire hydrants are located throughout distribution that may be used in the flushing plan.
As a transient system. a formal cross comection control program is not required bu1 is skongly
recommended. The water system operator is trained in cross connection control.
Monitoring
The water system 'uvill be required to collect one routine coliform sarnple per quafier and develop
a total coliform sample plan that represents the entire distribution system. A copy of the
sampling plan must he subrnitted to PHD to be kept in the water system's 111e. The water system
is also required to monitor for nitrate annually and nitrite once every nine years. Sarnple
schedules will begin January 1 , ?012.
Financial & Managerial Capacity
Acme Water Works rvill eventuall.v be required to register w'ith the ldaho Public Utilities
Commission. Each water user pays a water fbe of $48.00 per month.
The designated licensed operator tbr Acme Water Works is Bob Hansen with Water Systems

' \ lntroduction
The purpose of this technical, financial and managerial plan is to outline the procedures
and requirements to be followed to adequately operate The Schweitzer Village Water
System as well as to layout the financial, technical, and managerial capacity of the
system. This document is to provide additional information to the company documents.
The Schweitzer Village development is to consist of t107 lots, approximately 15 miles
northwest of Sandpoint, ldaho. The development site is located within T58N, R2W,
Section 29 B.M. as shown on the USGS topographic map in Appendix G. Construction
of the development is expected to commence in the summer of 2006. A flow schematic
of the water system is presented in Appendix F. As shown on the flow schematic and on
the site plan in Appendix A, the proposed water system is to consist of three
groundwater wells (designated Well #1, Well #2 and Wetl #3 respectively) to pump into a
200,000 gallon water storage tank with the wells pumping on an alternating basis. The
storage tank is sized to provide a 1,500 GPM fire flow to the fire hydrants within the
Qevelopment for two hours, Well #1 has been constructed with 4 inch casing. Well #2
has been constructed with 6 inch casing. Well#3 is a proposed wellthat will be
constructed with a 6'casing. The well pumps are to meet the Maximum Day Demand
(MDD) of 60 GPM.
The distribution system is to consist of 8" A\AAffA C900 PVC water mains to distrlbute
potable water to the individual services. The pressure within the main is to be controlled
by a main line pressure reducing valve. The pressure reducing valve will keep the
system pressure in the range of min 40 psito maximum 100 psi.

ELEMENT I . SYSTEM OWNERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
Water Svstem OYvnership
The water system is owned by Acme Water Works, lnc. a for profit organization. The
developer will be responsible for the construction of the system. The developer
information is as follows:
JoelWahlin
142 Nancy Road
Sandpoint, lD 83864
{208) 2654167
ptatq
A copy of the subdivision plat for the development is included in Appendix B.
. Water Svstem Operator
The developer will be responsible for the water system until water system construction is
complete. Upon completion of construction, Acme Water Works will be responsible for
appointing a water system operator to take on the responsibility for the operation and
maintenance of the system. At the time that the tenth service connection is connected toI the system, an ldaho Department of Environmental Quatity (DEO) certified operator will
be required to oversee the operation and maintenance of the water system. Acme
,-\ Water Works will contract with a certified operator to take over the management of the' \ system. Until this occurs, an independent licensed operator from the local area will be
contracted to operate and manage the water system.
Bvlaws, Covenants. etc.
The Articles of lncorporation are to include the Bylaws, and the Conditions, Covenants,. and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for the community. These Articles have been prepared and
are included.with this report. The Articles of lncorporation will specify that the Acme
Water Works is the legal owner of the water system and as such, is legally responsible
for the operation of the system. ln addition, the CC&Rs are to specify that the Acme
Water Works is fully responsible for the proper operation and maintenanc€ of the system
as well as for compliance of the system with all. DEQ and Panhandle Health District
Requirements. These requirements include the employment of a DEQ certified operator
to rnaintain and operate the system after the tenth service is connected.
Consolidation
The development is located near the SchweiEer Mountain Ski area. There are currently
two water system, Mel Bailey's Water System and the Schweitzer Mt Water System that
serve the ski area. Due to topographical conditions and water storage issues, it was
determined that the most feasible way to provide safe drinking water for lot owners
would be through the creation of a separate water system.
Organizational Function
The Articles of lncorporation are to specify that the water system operator is to report to
Acme Water Works during their annual meetings to discuss the operation and
maintenance activities otine system during thi hst year, pending repairs and
replacement items, and other aspects of the system that need to be addressed by the
Association. lnterim meetings between the operator and the Acme Water Works Board

AWW _ CPCN APPLICATION Checklist Item #13
are to be held as needed. Acme Water Works will work with the operator to maintain an
organized system of legal, financial, and regulatory records for the water system.
Ghange of Ownership
As discussed, legal ownership of the water system is to be transfened from the
developer to Acrne Water Works at the time water system construction completion,
Acme Water Works will be formed at the time the Articles of lncorporation are recorded.
The water system is being developed from out-of-pocket monies by the developer and
no water system revenues currently exist. Water system revenues will not exist until
Acme Water Works has taken over the water system and subdivision lots are sold.
Therefore, no impact to system revenues will occur during the transfer of the system to
Acme Water Works. Acme Water Works will be responsible for collecting water use fees
from residents of the subdivision. A preliminary fee schedule is presented in Element
11. The water rights to the water system will be transferred with the transfer of legal
ownership to Acme Water Works.
Emolovee Poticies and Procedures
This system is not large enough to feasibly employ more than one part-time system
operator. The implementation of a formal employee plan is not feasible for this system.

r--\ ELEMENT rv - SYSTEM WATER usAGE
The forecasted residential water system demands used for the preliminary design of the
water system were derived using a water system analysis performed for Schweitzer Mt
in the year 2A02, based on data collected during the years 1995-2002 and with a method
promulgated by the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) as outlined in the
DOH publication "Water System Design Manual". Using lhe 2002 water analysis, it is
anticipated that the ADD forthe system will be about 84 gallons per day (GPD) per
equivalent residential unit (ERU). The MDD is anticipated to be about 315 GPD/ERU
and the PHD approximately 154 GPM. These values are to be checked with actual
source and service meter records to be taken during the operation of the system. The
futl system demand calculations are presented.in Appendix D with the results of a steady
state analysis performed on the system using WaterCAD v5.0 software. The results of
the steady state analysis indicate that the system will be able to provide the required
ADD, PHD, and fire flow for the system with the 8 inch PVC distribution main shown on
the site Plan.

ELEilENT VII . OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The purpose of the operation and maintenance plan is to identify preventative
maintenance responsibilities and to keep the system within compliance of current
drinking water regulations. A certified water system operator must be in place to
oversee the operation and maintenance of the water system. ldaho State regulations
require that the owners of a public water system have at least one DEQ certified
operator who is in charge of the opeiation and maintenance activities of the system
when the system serves ten or rnore residential connections. The operator is also
responsible for the implementation and operation of the system's cross-connection
control program. A routine maintenance schedule to be followed by the system operator
is presented in Table 4 below.
Table 5 presents a list of supplies which should be kept at the site for use as needed.

ELEMENT IIX - CRO$S.CONNECTION CONTROL
A cross-connection program is to be implemented and followed by ihe water system
operator.in order to prevent the intrusion of contaminants.into the water system due to a
physical connection between the water system and a source containing non-potable
liquids, solids, or gasses. Common non-potable sources include irrigation systems,
swimming pools and auxiliary water supplies. ln order to protect the public water system
from contamination through backflow events, an air gap or an approved backflow
prevention device is required at the connection between the waterline and the source of
potential contamination. The cross-connection control program consists of the following
steps:1. Check the pumphouse piping and walk the water distribution system
every 6 months to check for any cross-connections. All cross-
connections must have a backflow prevention device, whose
manufacturer is approved by the DEQ, installed between the potable and
non-potable water system components. Any cross-connection without an
approved backflow prevention device must have their service
discontinued. The minimum type of backflow prevention device for
various types of facilities is presented in Appendix E.2. lnstall an approved DEQ backflow prevention device at any anticipated
cross-connection. All proposed cross-connections must have the
. approval of the system operator before installation.3. Keep a record of the location and 'As-Built" construction of all cross-
, connections on the system.: 4. Ensure that all installed backflow prevention devices are tested annually
by a DEQ certified tester.
It is recommended to include the cross-connection program requirements within the
Acme Water Works Bylaws to provide legal recourse to Acme Water Works against
customers who refuse to comply with the rules of the cross-connection control program.

ELETUIENT IX. EITIIERGENCY REPSON$E PLAN
An emergency response program is to be followed to alert system users and to provide
for an orderly response to a system emergency,
As part of the emergency response plan, all system customers are to be notified of the
emergency by phone, or by door-to-door contact if necessary, as soon as is feasible.
When someone identifies an emergency situation other than the system operator, the
system operator should be immediately notified.
Among the most common situations that could require the imptementation of the
emergency response plan is the loss of water service or a contamination of the water
system. ln either case the plan of action is to be as follows:
1. Eliminate all use of water from the public drinking water system
2. Contact a chemical.toilet vendor to supply an appropriate number of
chemical toilets for use by the subdivision residents
3. Obtain bottled potable waterfor drinking purposes
4. Repairthe water system as needed
; 5. Completely disinfect the water system with 50 ppm chlorine solution and
let set tor 24 hours
6. Test the water at system extremities to ensure compliance with coliform
bacteria standards
7. Once properly restored, begin using the water system again
