. (a) The department shall take all reasonable measures it
determines necessary to reduce the risk to public health from
waterborne illnesses in drinking water caused by cryptosporidium and
giardia, to the extent those micro-organisms are not yet able to be
adequately controlled through existing drinking water treatment and
other management practices.
(b) The department shall directly conduct, or order the state's
public water systems to conduct, comprehensive sanitary surveys, as
present resources permit, to identify risks to public health from
cryptosporidium and giardia.
(c) To thoroughly address the public health risks currently posed
by cryptosporidium, in particular, the department shall ensure that
its initial cryptosporidium action plan, that has been circulated to
public water systems serving more than 1,000 service connections, is
comprehensively implemented and shall devise and implement necessary
strategies for protecting the health of individuals served by smaller
public water systems from cryptosporidium exposure.
