Current through June, 2024
(a)  Samples
				shall be taken by suppliers of water for public water systems using surface
				water sources in whole or in part. Turbidity measurements shall be made by the
				Nephelometric Method 2130B cited in the 18th edition of Standard Methods for
				the Examination of Water and Wastewater, 1992, or by the methods cited in
				40 C.F.R. §
										141.74(a)(1).
(b) The requirements in this subsection apply
				to filtered surface water systems until June 29, 1993. The requirements in this
				subsection apply to unfiltered systems until June 29, 1993, or until filtration
				is installed, whichever is later. The director shall determine, in writing
				pursuant to
				42 U.S.C. §
										300g-1(b)(7)(C)(iii), which
				systems must install filtration.
(1) Samples
				shall be taken by suppliers of water for public water systems using surface
				water sources in whole or in part. Samples shall be taken at a representative
				entry point(s) to the water distribution system at least once per day, for the
				purpose of making turbidity measurements to determine compliance with section
				11-20-5.
				If the director determines that a reduced sampling frequency in a non-community
				system will not pose a risk to public health, the director may reduce the
				required sampling frequency. The option of reducing the turbidity frequency
				shall be permitted only in those public water systems that practice
				disinfection and which maintain an active residual disinfectant in the
				distribution system, and in those cases where the director has indicated in
				writing that no unreasonable risk to health existed under the circumstances of
				this option.
(2) If the result of
				a turbidity analysis indicates that the maximum allowable limit has been
				exceeded, the sampling and measurement shall be confirmed by resampling as soon
				as practicable and preferably within one hour. If the repeat sample confirms
				that the maximum allowable limit has been exceeded, the supplier of water shall
				report to the director within forty-eight hours. The repeat sample shall be the
				sample used for the purpose of calculating the monthly average. If the monthly
				average of the daily samples exceeds the maximum allowable limit, or if the
				average of two samples taken on consecutive days exceeds five NTU, the supplier
				of water shall report to the director and notify the public as directed in
				sections
				11-20-17
				and
				11-20-18.
