Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) To assure that public water systems
				supply drinking water which meets minimum requirements, the Federal Government
				enacted PL 93-523, the "Safe Drinking Water Act." The scheme of that law was to
				give primary responsibility for public water systems programs to states to
				implement a public water system program. Also, the legislature of Florida has
				enacted the "Florida Safe Drinking Water Act, " Sections 403.850-.864, F.S.
				This chapter and Chapters 62-555 and 62-560, F.A.C., are promulgated to
				implement the requirements of the Florida Safe Drinking Water Act and to
				acquire and maintain primacy for Florida under the Federal Act. This chapter
				and Chapters 62-555 and 62-560, F.A.C., adopt national primary and secondary
				drinking water standards of the Federal Government where possible, and
				otherwise create additional rules to fulfill state and Federal
				requirements.
(2) The Safe Drinking
				Water Act and the Florida Safe Drinking Water Act exclude certain public water
				systems from coverage. The drinking water rules in Chapters 62-550, 62-555, and
				62-560, F.A.C., apply to all public water systems except those which meet all
				of the following criteria:
(a) Consist of
				distribution and storage facilities only and do not have any collection or
				treatment facilities;
(b) Obtain
				all water from, but are not owned or operated by, a public water system to
				which such rules apply;
(c) Do not
				sell water to any person; and
(d)
				Are not carriers which convey passengers in interstate
				commerce.
Florida Administrative Code › 62 - DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION › 62 - Departmental › Chapter 62-550 - DRINKING WATER STANDARDS, MONITORING, AND REPORTING › Section 62-550.300 - Application of Quality Standards to Public Water Systems

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
The ultimate concern of the public water system supervision
				  program is the quality of water for human consumption when the water reaches
				  the consumers. The following rules establish maximum contaminant levels (MCLs)
				  and maximum residual disinfectant levels (MRDLs) for water within public water
				  systems. Additionally, these rules establish treatment technique requirements
				  in lieu of, or in addition to, MCLs for certain contaminants. Public water
				  systems shall comply with the MCLs, MRDLs, and treatment technique requirements
				  established herein unless granted a variance or exemption pursuant to Rule
				   62-560.510 or
				   62-560.520, F.A.C., or unless
				  identified as excluded from the MCLs, MRDLs, or treatment technique
				  requirements by this chapter. Public water systems shall take necessary
				  corrective action approved by the Department to meet all applicable MCLs,
				  MRDLs, and treatment technique requirements.

1. The water distributed by the water system
				is not available to children under 6 months of age or to lactating mothers,

2. There is continuous public
				notification of what the nitrate level (as N) is and what the potential health
				effects of such exposure are.
3.
				The Department shall require monitoring every 3 months as long as the maximum

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) All
				community, non-transient non-community, and transient non-community public
				water systems that use any surface water sources, or ground water sources under
				the direct influence of surface water, shall monitor for turbidity pursuant to
				Rule 62-550.560, F.A.C.
(2) All
				public water systems using ground water not under the direct influence of
				surface water are required by subsections
				 62-550.518(2), (3) and
				(10), F.A.C., to periodically sample the raw
				ground water for microbiological contamination. In the event a raw water sample
				is positive for total coliform bacteria, the system shall begin monitoring the
				raw water source for turbidity, pH, temperature, nitrates, and conductivity
				when notified in writing by the Department to do so and shall perform a
				microscopic particulate analysis and particle counter analysis when notified in
				writing by the Department to do so. These data will be used by the Department
				to determine whether the system's water source is under the direct influence of
				surface water. If the Department renders a written decision that the source is
				not under the direct influence of surface water, or if no subsequent raw water
				samples are positive for bacteria during the following one-year period,
				monitoring of the raw water for turbidity, pH, temperature, and conductivity
				will no longer be required. If the Department determines that a system is under
				the direct influence of surface water, the system shall comply with Rule
				 62-550.817, F.A.C. In the event
				the system notifies the Department in writing that it disagrees with the
				Department's determination, the system shall have six months in which to
				commission and complete an independent analysis of the system. Upon receipt of
				such an independent analysis, the Department will reconsider its determination
				and notify the system of its decision and include the notice of rights to an
				administrative hearing as provided in Rule
				 62-110.106,

This section contains monitoring frequency and compliance
				  requirements for radionuclides for community and nontransient noncommunity
				  water systems.
(1) Monitoring and
				Compliance Requirements for Gross Alpha Particle Activity, Radium-226,
				Radium-228, and Uranium.
(a) Community water
				systems (CWSs) and nontransient noncommunity water systems (NTNCs) shall
				conduct monitoring to determine compliance with paragraph
				 62-550.310(6)(a),
				F.A.C.
1. All existing CWSs and NTNCs shall
				sample at every entry point to the distribution system under normal operating
				conditions.
2. All new CWSs and new
				NTNCs or existing CWSs or NTNCs that use a new source of water shall begin to
				conduct initial monitoring for the new source within the first quarter after
				initiating use of the source.
3.
				The conversion factor for converting uranium results expressed in pCi/L to ug/L
				is 1.50 ug/pCi. When converting uranium results expressed in ug/L to pCi/L, use
				0.67 pCi/ug.
4. Compliance and
				reduced monitoring frequencies shall be calculated based on the analytical
				results. The analytical result is the number that the laboratory reports, not
				including (i.e., not adding or subtracting) the standard
				deviation.

				and microbiological provisions of Chapters 62-550 and 62-555, F.A.C. Surface
				water systems or ground water systems that are required to demonstrate the
				effectiveness of their primary disinfection treatment process to meet

or virus inactivation requirements shall
				operate within a pH range as specified for their disinfectant in the tables in
				Appendix E of the Guidance Manual adopted in subsection
				 62-555.335(1),

(2) If the results of an
				analysis indicate that the level of fluoride exceeds the secondary maximum
				contaminant level, the supplier of water shall notify the public pursuant to
				Rule  62-560.430, F.A.C., and take
				corrective action as approved by the Department pursuant to Rule
				 62-560.700, F.A.C.

				filtration and disinfection as best available treatment techniques for the
				removal or inactivation of pathogens in lieu of establishing a maximum
				contaminant level for the following contaminants: C
ryptosporidium,
				Giardia lamblia
, viruses, heterotrophic plate count (HPC) bacteria,
Legionella
, and turbidity. Subpart H systems shall provide
				treatment of those part(s) of their source water that are surface water or
				ground water under the direct influence of surface water. Such treatment shall
				comply with the treatment technique requirements found in paragraph
