Recommendations
As a reminder, any time the distribution system drops below 20 psi, the PWS must provide public
notice and disinfect the system.
DEQ recommends that a leak detection program be put in place and utilized.
DEQ recommends all systems utilize the SMART management financial tool which is now
available for use on the Public Drinking Water System Switchboard under the heading
"Tools/Data." The financial tool is designed to gather information about your system's
revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, debts, and reserves to assist with assessing your overall
financial health.
