R309-211-6. Routine Monitoring Requirements for Public Water Systems Serving More Than 1,000 People

(1) General. (a) The provisions of this section apply to public water systems serving more than 1,000 persons. (b) Following any total coliform-positive sample taken under the provisions of this section, systems must comply with the repeat monitoring requirements and E. coli analytical requirements in R309-211-7. (c) Once all monitoring required by this section and R309-211-7 for a calendar month has been completed, systems must determine whether any coliform treatment technique triggers specified in R309-211-8 have been exceeded. If any trigger has been exceeded, systems must complete assessments as required by R309-211-8. (d) Seasonal systems. (i) Beginning April 1, 2016, all seasonal systems must demonstrate completion of a Director-approved start-up procedure, which may include a requirement for start-up sampling prior to serving water to the public. (ii) The Director may exempt any seasonal system from some or all of the requirements for seasonal systems if the entire distribution system remains pressurized during the entire period that the system is not operating. (2) Monitoring frequency for total coliforms. The monitoring frequency for total coliforms is based on the population served by the system, as follows: TABLE 211-1 Total Coliform Monitoring Frequency for Public Water Systems Minimum number of Population served samples per month 25 to 1,000 1 1,001 to 2,500 2 2,501 to 3,300 3 3,301 to 4,100 4 4,101 to 4,900 5 4,901 to 5,800 6 5,801 to 6,700 7 6,701 to 7,600 8 7,601 to 8,500 9 8,501 to 12,900 10 12,901 to 17,200 15 17,201 to 21,500 20 21,501 to 25,000 25 25,001 to 33,000 30 33,001 to 41,000 40 41,001 to 50,000 50 50,001 to 59,000 60 59,001 to 70,000 70 70,001 to 83,000 80 83,001 to 96,000 90 96,001 to 130,000 100 130,001 to 220,000 120 220,001 to 320,000 150 320,001 to 450,000 180 450,001 to 600,000 210 600,001 to 780,000 240 780,001 to 970,000 270 970,001 to 1,230,000 300 1,230,001 to 1,520,000 330 1,520,001 to 1,850,000 360 1,850,001 to 2,270,000 390 2,270,001 to 3,020,000 420 3,020,001 to 3,960,000 450 3,960,001 or more 480
