Our Mission Statement . . .
To protect the public against waterborne health risks
through education, assistance, and oversight
Kenneth H. Bousfield, P.E.
Director
Entry Point/Common Aquifer Policy - The Division has finalized our policy that allows chemical sampling for sources that combine at an entry point to the distribution system, and sources in a common aquifer. For a common entry point grouping, the policy states in order to maintain the entry point status that systems must submit to DDW a sampling plan. If your system has sources in a common aquifer then you must apply for those sources to be grouped into a sampling station. The requirements for this application are in the Entry Point and Common Aquifer Policy. The deadlines for your system to submit either the sampling plan or the common aquifer application are in the policy.
New Hydraulic Modeling Rule (R309-511) The hydraulic modeling rule R309-511 was made effective at the March 10, 2010 Drinking Water Board (DWB) meeting.
