RE: Job #777 - Strong PUD - Public Water System Review
Dear George:
Colorado River Engineering, Inc. (CRE) has prepared the following letter to describe the
current status of the Strong PUD Public Water System and the changes that would be
required with an increase in population served by the PUD. The current system has
been permitted with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
(CDPHE) as a "Transient, Non -Community" (TNC) Public Water System, PWS ID
C00223730. The Transient classification is due to a permanent workforce population
regularly being less than 25 persons. The Non -Community status is because there are no
residences associated with the PUD. The TNC system has some of the lowest regulatory
requirements of water systems administered by the CDPHE.
If the PUD is to be changed to allow the workforce population number to exceed the 25
person limit, then additional permitting requirements will be required to change the
classification to Non -Transient. This classification with the Health Department will
require additional engineering and permitting data submitted to the CDPHE. This system
classification will also have more regulatory requirements with respect to water quality
testing and monitoring frequency. Our review of past testing results and system design
indicates your water system would not need any physical changes (e.g. Well, tanks,
treatment etc..).
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me directly at 970-625-4933.
Best Regards,
