Section 7:10-7.3 - Monitoring

(a) When a public community water system is equipped with treatment facilities specifically for pH adjustment and/or iron and/or manganese removal, the supplier of water shall conduct analyses with a minimum frequency of once daily for pH, iron or manganese, as applicable, on samples of water at the point(s) of entry to the distribution system. Such analyses need not be performed by a certified laboratory.

(b) The supplier of water from a public community water system other than a bulk purchase system shall analyze a water sample taken from each point of entry to the distribution system for the physical and chemical characteristics listed at 7:10-7.2(a) with a minimum frequency of once a year for surface water supplies and once in three years for ground water supplies. Such analyses shall be performed by a certified laboratory.

(c) The supplier of water from a public community water system shall analyze water samples from its distribution system in accordance with the following:

1. Each supplier of water serving a population equal to or greater than 10,000 shall sample for iron and manganese with a minimum frequency of once a year; and

2. Each supplier of water shall collect at a minimum one additional sample for iron and manganese once for every 50,000 population served, to a maximum of five samples per year.

(d) The Department may require the supplier of water to take more frequent samples for specific characteristics if the routine samples reveal high levels. Such samples may, with prior Department approval, be analyzed by the supplier of water rather than a certified laboratory.

(e) Any person who owns and/or operates a nonpublic water system shall sample and analyze the water for the physical and chemical characteristics listed at 7:10-7.2(a) at a frequency established by the administrative authority.
