The addition of connections to a water distribution system does not require an application for a water permit if there is no increase in the authorized and developed diversion rate and the connections are within or contiguous to the service area of the system. A new water permit is required to connect a separate water distribution system, located within or outside of the system area, to the water distribution system.
