(a) A public water system shall designate
				  (label) each sample as routine, repeat, replacement, or "other" pursuant to
				  Section 64421(b), and
				  have each sample analyzed for total coliforms. The system also shall require
				  the laboratory to analyze the same sample for Escherichia coli (

) whenever the presence of total coliforms is indicated. As a
				  minimum, the analytical results shall be reported in terms of the presence or
				  absence of total coliforms and
E. coli
, in the sample,
				  whichever is appropriate. If directed by the State Board, based on an
				  identified sanitary defect, exceedance of a Level 1 or Level 2 coliform
				  treatment technique trigger, history of total coliform-positive samples within
				  the past 12 consecutive months, or determination of a possible significant rise
				  in bacterial count in accordance with Section
				  64426, the analytical results
				  shall be reported in terms of coliform density of total coliforms and
E. coli
, in the sample, whichever is appropriate.
(b) A public water system shall require the
				  laboratory to notify the system within 24 hours, whenever the presence of total
				  coliform or
E. coli
is demonstrated in a sample or a sample is
				  invalidated due to interference problems, pursuant to Section
				  64425(b), ensure
				  that a contact person is available to receive these analytical results 24-hours
				  a day, and provide the name(s) and contact information of the contact person(s)
				  to the laboratory. The system shall also require the laboratory to immediately
				  notify the State Board of any positive bacteriological results if the
				  laboratory cannot make direct contact with the designated contact person within
				  24 hours.
(c) Analytical results of
				  all required samples collected for a public water system in a calendar month
				  shall be reported to the State Board not later than the tenth day of the
				  following month, as follows:
(1) Systems
				  serving more than 400 service connections or 1000 persons, or a wholesaler as
				  defined in section
				  64402.20(a),
				  shall submit a monthly summary of the bacteriological monitoring results to the
				  State Board, which shall contain the following:
(A) Total number of samples
				  collected;
(B) Number, sample
				  collection date, and sample location of all total coliform and
E.
				  coli
-positive samples;
(C)
				  Number, sample collection date, sample location, and result of triggered
				  groundwater source samples collected; and
(D) Sample collection date, sample location,
				  and result for all repeat samples collected.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) If
				  a routine sample is total coliform-positive, a public water system shall
				  collect a repeat sample set as described in paragraph (1) within 24 hours of
				  being notified of the positive result. The repeat samples shall all be
				  collected within the same 24-hour time period. A single service connection
				  system may submit a request to the State Board to allow the collection of the
				  repeat sample set over a three-day period.
(1) A repeat sample set shall be at least
				  three samples for each total coliform-positive sample.
(2) If the system is unable to collect the
				  samples within the 24-hour time period specified in subsection (a) or deliver
				  the samples to the laboratory within 24 hours after collection because of
				  circumstances beyond its control, the system shall notify the State Board
				  within 24 hours. The State Board will then determine how much time the system
				  will have to collect the repeat samples.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
				  A public water system may request the State Board to invalidate a routine or
				  repeat sample for which a total coliform-positive result has been reported if
				  the system demonstrates:
(1) All repeat
				  sample(s) collected at the same tap as the original total coliform-positive
				  sample also are total coliform- positive and all repeat samples collected
				  within five service connections of the original tap are not total
				  coliform-positive; or
(2) The
				  laboratory did not follow the prescribed analytical methods pursuant to Section
				  64415(a), based
				  on a review of laboratory documentation by the State Board. The system shall
				  submit to the State Board a written request for invalidation along with the
				  laboratory documentation, the system's sample collection records and any
				  observations noted during sample collection and delivery. The system shall
				  require the laboratory to provide the system with documentation which shall
				  include, but not be limited to:
(A) A letter
				  from the director of the laboratory having generated the data, confirming the
				  invalidation request by reason of laboratory accident or error;
(B) Complete sample identification,
				  laboratory sample log number (if used), date and time of collection, date and
				  time of receipt by the laboratory, date and time of analysis for the sample(s)
				  in question;
(C) Complete
				  description of the accident or error alleged to have invalidated the
				  result(s);
(D) Copies of all
				  analytical, operating, and quality assurance records pertaining to the incident
				  in question; and
(E) Any
				  observations noted by laboratory personnel when receiving and analyzing the
				  sample(s) in question.

				  64423,
				  64424, and
				  64425 that are not invalidated by
				  the State Board or the laboratory shall be included in determining a possible

				  64424, and
				  64425 that are not invalidated by
				  the State Board or the laboratory shall be included in determining compliance
				  with the
E. coli
MCL. Special purpose samples such as those
				  listed in Section
				  64421(b) and
				  special purpose samples collected by a public water system during special
				  investigations shall not be used to determine compliance with the
E.
				  coli
MCL.
(b) A public
				  water system is in violation of the
E. coli
MCL when any of
				  the following occurs:
(1) The system has an
E. coli
-positive repeat sample following a total
				  coliform-positive routine sample;
(2) The system has a total coliform-positive
				  repeat sample following an
