Rich Civic Times
RANDOLPH, Utah, August 8, 2013. Rich County Commission. Jennifer Yee, Utah Division of Drinking Water,
Patti Fauver, Utah Department of Environmental Quality, Tammy North, Engineer for
Drinking Water, and Melissa Hubbell, Utah Attorney General’s Office, met with the
Rich County Commissioners to discuss the Mountain Meadows Subdivision’s non-
compliance of drinking water safety. Several unsuccessful attempts
have been made by the Department of Environmental Quality to alert the Subdivision
concerning violations of the Utah Code.
The violations are: ONE, a
storage facility is needed unless the Fire Marshall for the County signs a
letter stating that there is adequate water stored for any fires, TWO,
monitoring water sample (end of each month), THREE, cross-connection fixed (breaks reconnected,
Commissioner Cox will put up a screen immediately so reconnection will eliminate
the danger of contamination), and FOUR, there is not a certified operator for the system. Consequently, Melissa Hubbell of the Attorney
General’s Office was contacted to help address the violations. Patty Fauver addressed these neglected issues
with the Rich County Commissioners.
Commissioner Weston asked why the County had not been contacted about
this non-compliance earlier so the problems could be addressed and fixed.
Commissioner Cox will meet with the homeowners to address requesting compliance
with the Utah Code. The representatives
of the Department of Environmental Quality said they will work with the
homeowners to fix the issues, possibly by providing grant money, or providing
Federal and State loan program. Commission Cox stated that, in the future, if
there is an issue that affects Rich County, the Commission would like to know about
it immediately so it can be remedied.
RED RIBBON DAY!
After many years of work, sweat, a tear, jumping
through hoops, and much perseverance, Bruce Alder has finally received the
required signatures to sign off on the Alder Family Subdivision.
DRIVERS LICENSE LEASE
A motion was approved by the Commissioners
to renew the lease with the Drivers License Division, for the period July
