(a) The supplier shall report to the Division
the analysis of water samples which fail to comply with the Primary Drinking
Water Standards of R309-200. Except where a different reporting period is
specified in R309-205, R309- 210 or R309-215, this report shall be submitted
within 48 hours after the supplier receives the report from his lab. The
Division may be reached at (801)536-4200.
(b) Monthly summaries of bacteriologic
results shall be submitted within ten days following the end of each
month.
(c) All results of TTHM
samples shall be reported to the Division within 10 days of receipt of analysis
for systems monitoring pursuant to
R309-210-9.
(d) For all samples other than samples
showing unacceptable results, bacteriologic samples or TTHM samples, the time
between the receipt of the analysis and the reporting of the results to the
Division shall not exceed 40 days.
(e) Arsenic sampling results shall be
reported to the nearest 0.001 mg/L.
(f) There are additional reporting
requirements in other sections of the rules, see
R309-215-16(5).
(2) Disinfection byproducts, maximum residual disinfectant levels and disinfection byproduct precursors and enhanced coagulation or enhanced softening. This section applies to the reporting requirements of R309-210-8, R309-215-12 and R309-215-13.
