Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
It shall be the policy of the commission to support and
						promote regional solutions to water collection and distribution problems and
						the construction of regional systems for the provision for new water service.
						To that end:
(a) Existing systems. Use
					 of established regional water collection and distribution systems by new water
					 users throughout the Delaware River Basin will be encouraged whenever
					 appropriate.
(b) Interconnections.
					 Construction of interconnections between established systems, both public and
					 private, is in the public interest and will be encouraged.
(c) Small water supply systems. Proliferation
					 of small water supply systems of insufficient size to maintain an efficient,
					 safe and adequate level of service, will be discouraged.
(d) Franchise areas. Proliferation of small
					 franchise areas so situated or designed as to preclude the establishment or
					 extension of regional water collection and distribution systems will be
					 discouraged.
(e) New water service
					 facilities. Wherever practicable new water service facilities shall be planned
					 with a view to future provision of water supply on a regional basis or to
					 eventual interconnection to or incorporation within an established regional
					 distribution system.
