test results.
(b) A description of
and results of monitoring procedures for maximum contaminant levels included in

inspection of the water system from time to time for defects or to assess the

from non-attendance of the system by a certified operator.
(3) A sanitary survey is not mandatory before
a waiver of certified operator requirements but may be performed and considered
by the Department.

shall be granted for a period of 36 months and shall be renewable upon

section.

drinking water, or the supplier of water fails to comply with any conditions of
the waiver.
