Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. When a Tier 3 public notice is required under the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations, §913, §1139 D, §1507. D.2 or §1509. A of this Part, the public water system shall, unless directed otherwise by the Office of Public Health in writing, provide public notification in a daily or weekly newspaper serving the area as soon as possible but no later than 45 days after the violation or failure. In addition to newspaper notice, a notice shall also be provided to the consumers by direct mail or hand delivery within 90 days after the violation or failure.
EXCEPTION: When furnishing a notice to a newspaper is deemed not feasible for a non-community water system, continuous posting (in conspicuous places within the area served by the system) and, if available, e-mailing (to students or employees, for example) may be substituted. The notice shall remain posted for a minimum of at least 7 days.
AUTHORITY NOTE: Promulgated in accordance with R.S. 40:4(A)(8) and 40:5(2)(3)(5)(6)(17)(20).
