| Details: | SUMMARY: Discussed sampling requirements for small water systems DETAILS: Ms. Andrews called with a general inquiry about the regulatory differences between a transient non-community water system and a state reulated system. She also wanted to know where she could find information on this topic at our website. I directed her to the sampling criteria at our website, and informed her that the requirements for both systems are practically identical. We discussed how to caluclate the population served, which I defined as the average daily population over 60 consecutive days when the system serves the highest population. The system needs to submit arsenic sampling results, which has never been done, but is otherwise in compliance. Ms. Andrews mentioned that the system has asbestos based pipe and that it might need to be replaced, and even though they are not required to sample for asbestos, the system may want to if they have year-round residents. I mentioned that absestos schedules are typically once every nine years unless there detections over the standard. Ms. Andrews also asked about funding for the project, and I stated that a transient not-for-profit non-community water system could be eligible to receive SDWRLF assistance where a state regulated system would not. She aslo asked about domestic well testing rules which dont apply to this water system. ACTION NEEDED: None | ||
