When considered necessary for protection of the public health, the department shall notify a supplier of water of the need to make changes in operations, to provide treatment, to make structural changes in existing systems, or to add additional capacity as necessary to produce and distribute an adequate quantity of water meeting the state drinking water standards.

The department shall inspect a waterworks system or a part of a waterworks system, and the manner of operation of the system or part.

If the supplier does not request a public hearing within 30 days after receipt of the order, the order shall be final and binding on the supplier of water. If the department receives a request for a public hearing within the specified 30 days, the public hearing shall be immediately arranged. A supplier of water shall comply with a final order of the department.

If a public water supply poses an imminent hazard to the public health, the department may issue an emergency order immediately, without notice or hearing, requiring such action as the department determines is necessary to protect the public health.
