Universal Citation: HI Admin Rules 11-20-22
Current through February, 2024
(a) In the director's consideration of whether the public water system is unable to comply with a contaminant level requirement of a state primary drinking water regulation because of the nature of the raw water source, the director shall consider such factors as he considers to be relevant, including the following:
(1) The availability, effectiveness, and
reliability of treatment methods for the contaminant for which the variance is
requested; and
(2) Cost and other
economic considerations such as for implementing treatment, improving the
quality of the source water or using an alternate source.
(b) In the director's consideration of whether a public water system should be granted a variance to a required treatment technique because such treatment is unnecessary to protect the public health, the director shall consider such factors as the following:
(1) Quality of the water source including
water quality data and pertinent sources of pollution; and
(2) Susceptibility of the source to
contamination and the source protection measures employed by the public water
system.
