Section 611.630 - Special Monitoring for Sodium

a) CWS suppliers must collect and analyze one sample per plant at the entry point of the distribution system for the determination of sodium concentration levels; samples must be collected and analyzed annually for CWSs utilizing surface water sources in whole or in part, and at least every three years for CWSs utilizing solely groundwater sources. The minimum number of samples required to be taken by the supplier is based on the number of treatment plants used by the supplier, except that multiple wells drawing raw water from a single aquifer may, with the Agency approval, be considered one treatment plant for determining the minimum number of samples. The Agency must require the supplier to collect and analyze water samples for sodium more frequently in locations where the sodium content is variable.

b) The CWS supplier must report to the Agency the results of the analyses for sodium within the first 10 days of the month following the month in which the sample results were received or within the first 10 days following the end of the required monitoring period as specified by SEP, whichever of these is first. If more than annual sampling is required, the supplier must report the average sodium concentration within 10 days of the month following the month in which the analytical results of the last sample used for the annual average was received.

c) The CWS supplier must notify the Agency and appropriate local public health officials of the sodium levels by written notice by direct mail within three months. A copy of each notice required to be provided by this subsection must be sent to the Agency within 10 days after its issuance.

d) Analyses for sodium must be conducted as directed in Section 611.611(a).
