Summary: This chapter outlines the jurisdiction of the Board and the Division of Environmental Health within the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of Health and Human Services, in regulating the drinking water systems of manufactured housing communities. This chapter also sets forth the safe drinking water requirements for manufactured housing communities with Private Water Systems, which are regulated by the Board. These requirements pertain to Private Water System approval, operation, and modification; annual water testing, reporting, and notice to community residents; and enforcement remedies when a community violates these rules. The rules in this chapter are established to protect public health from unsafe Private Water Systems and to require that a community notify the population served of annual water test results.
