Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 1702. Regulatory jurisdiction over public water
					 supplies in this state is for the declared purpose of protecting the public
					 health and to assure that public water supplies and waterworks systems are
					 properly planned, constructed, maintained, and operated. It is a well
					 established principle in this state that type I public water supplies be
					 operated and maintained in an effective manner at all times and that adequate
					 provision be made for a continuing administrative authority to accomplish this
					 objective. Department procedures which have been in effect have strongly
					 encouraged public ownership of all type I public water supplies. Accordingly,
					 it is the department's belief that all avenues must be thoroughly explored with
					 local governmental units to achieve public ownership of those public water
					 supplies. If it is determined by the department that a local unit of government
					 will not accept responsibility for ownership and operation of a type I public
					 water supply, specific procedures must be established prior to issuance of a
					 permit for construction of waterworks systems associated
					 therewith.
