Can a new water main be connected before bacteriological tests are completed?
Any connection of a new water main to the active distribution system before the receipt of satisfactory bacteriological samples may constitute a cross-connection. Therefore, the new main shall remain isolated until bacteriological tests are satisfactorily completed. The interiors of pipes, fittings, and valves shall be protected from contamination.
What happens if a PWS sample tests positive for TC?
If more than five percent of the samples contain coliforms, PWS operators must report this violation to the state and the public. If a sample tests positive for TC, the system must collect a set of repeat samples located within 5 or fewer sampling sites adjacent to the location of the routine positive sample within 24 hours.
