Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 39, September 25, 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.
