(a) The residual disinfectant concentration of the water entering the distribution system shall be monitored continuously, and the lowest value shall be recorded each day.
(b) If there is a failure in the continuous monitoring equipment, the system owner shall conduct grab sampling every 4 hours in lieu of continuous monitoring, but for no more than 5 working days following the failure of the equipment.
