SECTION 1: For Public Water Supply systems, with an average daily use, as measured during the month of highest usage, of 10,000 gallons per day or below, the department shall make rules and regulations providing for the consistent application of permitting responsibility as compared to that found in 310 CMR 15.000. The department shall pass on any funding associated with PWS systems using less than 10,000 gallons per day to the local health department or board of health, as was previously expended, and shall pass through any funding from state or federal sources earmarked for oversite of said water supplies. The department shall collaborate with and train the local public health officials in the workings of the existing recordkeeping and database system at the department, and shall share this system, or its successor, with local public health. The department shall amend existing regulations to the extent necessary to provide a clear and uniform process for the designation and permitting of public water supply systems using less than 10,000 gallons per day, including the grandfathering of existing wells currently in use or with a historical use pattern that meets the definition of a Transient Non-Community system (TNC) or a Non-Transient Con-Community system (NTNC). The department shall provide uniform written guidance and direction to ensure that this section is fully implemented. The department may require that the local public health official with public water supply oversite responsibilities also possesses the following minimum qualifications and credentials; Registered Sanitarian, Certified Health Officer, or Certified Public Water Supply Operator having the appropriate level of training commensurate with the complexity of the PWS system(s) being overseen at the local level.
