Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 62-550.520 - Secondary Contaminants Monitoring Requirements
(1) Analysis to determine compliance with
Rule 62-550.320, F.A.C., shall be
conducted by all community water systems and shall be repeated once each
compliance period. Lime softening facilities may operate above 8.5 but less
than or equal to 9.0 pH units without Department approval, and may operate
above 9.0, but less than or equal to 10.0 pH units upon approval by the
Department of a written demonstration by the water system that operating at the
higher pH will not cause the treatment plant to suffer operational failures,
that minimum disinfectant levels can be maintained throughout the distribution
system, and that the system can remain in compliance with the lead and copper
and microbiological provisions of Chapters 62-550 and 62-555, F.A.C. Subpart H
systems or ground water systems that are required to demonstrate the
effectiveness of their primary disinfection treatment process to meet
Giardia lamblia or virus inactivation requirements shall
operate within a pH range as specified for their disinfectant in the tables in
Appendix E of the Guidance Manual adopted in subsection
62-555.335(1),
F.A.C.
(2) If the results of an
analysis indicate that the level of fluoride exceeds the secondary maximum
contaminant level, the supplier of water shall notify the public pursuant to
Rule 62-560.430, F.A.C., and take
corrective action as approved by the Department pursuant to Rule
62-560.700, F.A.C.
(3) With the exception of pH, the system is
in violation if the level of a secondary contaminant at any sampling point is
greater than the secondary maximum contaminant level.
