(a) This chapter sets the operation standards
				for Public Water Supply systems so they may provide safe drinking water. This
				Chapter is analogous to the federal PWS program. Other rules may govern Public
				Water Supply system operations, such as the Discharge Regulations (OAC
				252:606), Laboratory Accreditation (OAC 252:301), TNI Laboratory Accreditation
				(OAC 252:307), Minor Public Water Supply Systems (OAC 252:624), Public Water
				Supply Construction Standards (OAC 252:626) and Operator Certification (OAC
				252:710). This Chapter implements the "Oklahoma Water Supply Systems Act" at
				Title 27A, §
									2-6-301 and
				following.
(b) This chapter applies
				to any person or entity, including any federal facility, that operates a Public
				Water Supply system in Oklahoma, except for minor public water supply systems,
				which are regulated in OAC 252:624.
