Permit Programs
Plan Review and Permit Issuance
|
|
New and existing public water supplies which intend to
construct new water supply facilities, modify existing treatment
facilities or equipment, or extend water mains are required to obtain
a construction permit from the Division of Public Water Supplies.
Public water suppliers are also required to obtain an operating
permit before putting newly constructed equipment, facilities or
mains into operation. Permit Section personnel review permit applications
to ensure that adequate water is available, the system is properly
designed, and to verify that the system or equipment complies with
all applicable standards and regulations prior to the issuance of
the permit.
The Permit Section participates in the issuance of NPDES permits
for waste discharges from water treatment plants by providing technical
review and input to the Water Pollution Control Program prior to
permit issuance. Public Water Supply Permit Section personnel also
conduct a review and provide technical input on water treatment
plant sludge disposal permits issued by the Water Pollution Control
Program.
