Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 62-550.517 - Physical Characteristics Monitoring Requirements
(1) All community, non-transient
non-community, and transient non-community public water systems that use any
surface water sources, ground water sources under the direct influence of
surface water, or advanced treated water, shall monitor for turbidity pursuant
to Rule 62-550.817, F.A.C.
(2) All public water systems using ground
water not under the direct influence of surface water are required by
subsections 62-550.518(2), (3) and
(10), F.A.C., to periodically sample the raw
ground water for microbiological contamination. In the event a raw water sample
is positive for total coliform bacteria, the system shall begin monitoring the
raw water source for turbidity, pH, temperature, nitrates, and conductivity
when notified in writing by the Department to do so and shall perform a
microscopic particulate analysis and particle counter analysis when notified in
writing by the Department to do so. These data will be used by the Department
to determine whether the system's water source is under the direct influence of
surface water. If the Department renders a written decision that the source is
not under the direct influence of surface water, or if no subsequent raw water
samples are positive for bacteria during the following one-year period,
monitoring of the raw water for turbidity, pH, temperature, and conductivity
will no longer be required. If the Department determines that a system is under
the direct influence of surface water, the system shall comply with Rule
62-550.817, F.A.C. In the event
the system notifies the Department in writing that it disagrees with the
Department's determination, the system shall have six months in which to
commission and complete an independent analysis of the system. Upon receipt of
such an independent analysis, the Department will reconsider its determination
and notify the system of its decision and include the notice of rights to an
administrative hearing as provided in Rule
62-110.106, F.A.C.
