CHAPTER 1

PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND

Section 1. Purpose. The purpose of these standards is not to substitute for the Safe Drinking Water Act or its associated regulations, nor to guarantee absolute safety of a private water supply, but to establish minimum water quality criteria to be used in the conveyance of private property which derives domestic water from a non-public or “small” water supply. With these standards as guidance, conveyances of such property should have assurance that the water supply is potable at the time of conveyance or take measures to assure treatment of the water to make it potable prior to or concurrent with transfer of the property.

Section 2. Authority. The specific statutory authority is W.S. 35-1-229(b).

Section 3. Definition. A small water supply is defined as any water supply with not more than nine (9) service connections which are, or may be, used for human consumption.
