Section R309-105-16 - Reporting Test Results
(1) If analyses are made by certified laboratories other than the state laboratory, these results shall be forwarded to the Division as follows:
(a) The supplier shall report to the Division the analysis of water samples which fail to comply with the Primary Drinking Water Standards of R309-200. Except where a different reporting period is specified in R309-205, R309- 210 or R309-215, this report shall be submitted within 48 hours after the supplier receives the report from his lab. The Division may be reached at (801)536-4200.
(b) Monthly summaries of bacteriologic results shall be submitted within ten days following the end of each month.
(c) All results of TTHM samples shall be reported to the Division within 10 days of receipt of analysis for systems monitoring pursuant to R309-210-9.
(d) For all samples other than samples showing unacceptable results, bacteriologic samples or TTHM samples, the time between the receipt of the analysis and the reporting of the results to the Division shall not exceed 40 days.
(e) Arsenic sampling results shall be reported to the nearest 0.001 mg/L.
(f) There are additional reporting requirements in other sections of the rules, see R309-215-16(5).
(2) Disinfection byproducts, maximum residual disinfectant levels and disinfection byproduct precursors and enhanced coagulation or enhanced softening. This section applies to the reporting requirements of R309-210-8, R309-215-12 and R309-215-13.
