LAC 51:XII.377. Adoption by Reference [formerly paragraph 12:026]

A. The National Primary Drinking Water Regulations, as defined in §101 of this Part, are hereby incorporated by reference into this Part of the sanitary code and shall have the same force and effect of state law as any other Section of this Part just as if they had been fully published herein. Every public water system shall comply with the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations as defined herein. When the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations as defined herein and the state's own rules and/or regulations applicable to public water systems conflict, the state's own rules and/or regulations shall govern [e.g., the Louisiana Total Coliform Rule (Chapter 9 of this Part, formerly Appendix C) provisions shall govern when any of the federal Total Coliform Rule provisions are found to conflict].
