				  distribution;
(2) In writing,
				  either recommend to the Department the installation and operation of a source
				  water treatment (ion exchange, reverse osmosis, lime softening, or
				  coagulation/filtration) or demonstrate that source water treatment is not
				  needed to minimize lead and copper levels at users' taps; and
(3) Submit any additional information
				  requested by the Department to aid in its determination of whether source water
				  treatment is necessary to minimize lead and copper levels in water delivered to
				  users' taps.

(b) Lead service line samples shall be
				  collected in one of the following three ways:
(1) At the tap after flushing the volume of
				  water between the tap and the lead service line. The volume of water to be
				  flushed shall be calculated based on the interior diameter and length of the
				  pipe between the tap and the lead service line;
(2) Tapping directly into the lead service
				  line; or
(3) If the sampling site
