In addition, the system shall seek to collect the information listed in clauses (A) through (C), where possible, in the course of its normal operations, such as checking service line materials when reading water meters or performing maintenance activities.

The commissioner shall approve this reduction of the minimum number of samples in writing based on a request from the system or on-site verification by the commissioner.
The commissioner may specify sampling locations when a system is conducting reduced monitoring.
