Sec. B11-130. State small water systems.

(a) No person will operate a state small water system unless a permit to operate the system has been issued by the Director.

(b) The application must include:

(1) A technical report which must describe the proposed or existing system as follows: service area, distribution system including storage and pumping facilities, the water source including source capacity, water quality, and any water treatment facilities. The report must identify the owner of the system and the party responsible for day to day operation of the system. The report must include a plan for notification of those served by the system when drinking water quality standards are exceeded. The report must describe the operating plan for the system and must specify how the responsible party will respond to failure of major system components.

(2) A copy of the by-laws or articles of incorporation in compliance with California Corporations Code § 14312(a)(13).

(c) A change in ownership of a state small water system will require the submission of a new application.

(d) No domestic water system will be issued a permit if water service for each connection or all connections of a proposed water system is available from a public, private, or mutual water system thereby eliminating the necessity of formation of an additional water system. Availability will be determined, on a case by case basis, in consideration of the following: ability of the water system to provide service, economic feasibility, long term viability, and a determination that the water system will have an adequate source and supply of water.

(e) The state small water system must comply with the standards and requirements as set forth in this chapter and in the most recent addition of Chapter 16, "California Waterworks Standards," of Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations, as may be amended from time to time, and incorporated herein by this reference, regarding design and construction of water systems.
