§ 116500 Department Water System Enforcement

• •The state makes sure public water systems are safe if the county doesn’t have a health officer.
• •If a county doesn’t want to handle water safety, the state steps in to do the job.
• •This rule applies to all public water systems, even small ones.

A small town doesn’t have a health officer to check if the water is clean.

The state will send someone to make sure the town’s water is safe to drink.
