008.01 A public
				water system that uses a ground water source under the direct influence of
				surface water and does not provide filtration treatment must report monthly to
				the Director the information specified in 179 NAC 13-008 beginning six months
				after the Director determines that the ground water source is under the direct
				influence of surface water, unless filtration is required, in which case the
				Director may specify alternative reporting requirements, as appropriate, until
				filtration is in place. The reports must be submitted on Forms PWS 403, PWS
				404, and PWS 405 in Attachment 3 to 179 NAC 13 (which is hereby incorporated by

				days after the end of each month the system serves water to the public.
				Information that must be reported includes:
1. The cumulative number of months for which
				results are reported.
2. The number
				of fecal and/or total coliform samples, whichever are analyzed during the month
				(if a system monitors for both, only fecal coliforms must be reported), the
				dates of sample collection, and the dates when the turbidity level exceeded 1
				NTU.
3. The number of samples
				during the month that had equal to or less than 20 per 100 ml fecal coliforms
				and/or equal to or less than 100 per 100 ml total coliforms.
4. The cumulative number of fecal or total
				coliform samples, whichever are analyzed, during the previous six months the
				system served water to the public.

				100 per 100 ml total coliforms, whichever are analyzed, during the previous six
				months the system served water to the public.
6. The percentage of samples that had equal
				to or less than 20 per 100 ml fecal coliforms or equal to or less than 100 per
				100 ml total coliforms, whichever are analyzed, during the previous six months
				the system served water to the public.
7. The maximum turbidity level measured
				during the month, the date(s) of occurrence(s) for any measurement(s) which
				exceeded 5 NTU, and the date(s) the occurrence(s) was reported to the
				Director.
8. For the first 12
				months of recordkeeping, the dates and cumulative number of events during which
				turbidity exceeded 5 NTU, and after one year of recordkeeping for turbidity
				measurement, the dates and cumulative number of events during which the
				turbidity exceeded 5 NTU in the previous 12 months the system served water to
				the public.
9. For the first 120
				months of recordkeeping, the dates and cumulative number of events during which
				the turbidity exceeded 5 NTU, and after 10 years of recordkeeping for turbidity
				measurements, the dates and cumulative number of events during which the
				turbidity exceeded 5 NTU in the previous 120 months the system served water to
				the public.
