NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Title 19, Chapter 4, Safe Drinking Water Act, gives the Drinking Water Board the authority to promulgate rules that govern the construction of facilities for and quality of water provided by public water systems.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No written comments have been received by the Division on this rule.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule defines a public water system (PWS) and the categories of public water systems which determine the amount of monitoring that is required of each PWS. The rule gives authority for Division personnel and local health departments to inspect PWSs in order to evaluate their condition and therefore the safety and integrity of the water delivered to the public. In addition, this rule requires the Drinking Water Board to require plan approval for PWS construction, assess the overall condition of the PWS and issue administrative orders when appropriate in order to protect the public from tainted water supplies. The continuation of this rule is necessary to protect the quality and safety of the drinking water served the public by PWSs and thereby public health.
