Section 335-7-4-.12 - Segmental Water System Requirements

A consecutive system can be designated as a segmental water system if it contains no pumping facilities or water storage tanks, and consists primarily of plumbing instead of distribution lines. This facility, such as an apartment complex or shopping center, must obtain water from a permitted public water system whose actions, activities, reports, and monitoring meets all State and Federal Standards and are sufficient to ensure that a proper quality of water is made available to the customers of the segmental system during all times of normal operation.

(a) Segmental water systems are not required to maintain a valid Water Supply Permit nor routinely collect water quality samples. However, water quality monitoring may be required by the Department if the quality of water being supplied by the parent water system does not meet drinking water standards, there is a high potential for the water to not meet drinking water standards, or if the parent water system fails to monitor water quality.

(b) Segmental Water Systems are subject to inspection and records review by ADEM staff after a 10-day intent notice is provided to the responsible operator or manager.
