Statute overview

About this statute

Owners of large public drinking water systems must provide safe drinking water, keep the system maintained, avoid contamination, get approvals and permits, and follow source, well, and construction rules. Owners of large public drinking water systems must operate, monitor, report on, and keep records for the system, while health officers can order assessments, boil-water measures, permit changes, or closure when health risks arise. This part regulates trucked drinking water systems: owners need permits, must maintain safe operations, and health officers can approve exceptions, inspect, suspend permits, or close non-compliant systems. Certain public drinking water systems must monitor or test turbidity and free chlorine residual at specified frequencies, and permit fees are listed for trucked distribution systems.
