PERMIT APPLICATION PROCESS NOTICE
New Drinking Water Operating Permit for Existing Public Water System
According to the Safe Drinking Water Act, any water system that supplies more than 25 people or 15 service connections
per day for at least 60 days per year is classified as a public water system (PWS). For complete requirements for public
water systems, please refer to the Arizona Administrative Code Title 18, Chapter 4. Copies are available from the office
of the Arizona Secretary of State or online at www.azsos.gov. The following requirements may need to be completed
prior to issuing a new permit for an existing PWS:
1. Drinking Water System Compliance Review. A Drinking
Water System Compliance Review (CR) must be
requested no
more than 30 days prior to submission of this application to determine the existing PWS permit’s comp
liance
status with all applicable PWS rules and regulations.
The CR request must be submitted with the current schedule fee
of
$250.
2. Certified Op
erator. All public water systems must obtain the services of a certified water operator. Operat
ors
m
onitor the water for various contaminants throughout the year, including
bacteria, nitrate, nitrite, lead, and copper. A
certified operator m
ust inspect each well site a minimum of once per month. If an employee or associate of the system
may wish to become certified, you may contact Noah Adams of ADEQ at (602) 771-4511 or
refer to the ADEQ web site
www.azdeq.gov for more information on operator certification.
3. New Source Approval. New Source Approval (NSA) is required for all water sources used by the PWS. Public
water systems will be required to obtain additional source approvals if the water source has been inactive for more than 12
consecutive months or suspected source contamination has occurred. Source Approval applications may require a
chemical analysis of some or all regulated contaminants in the source water in addition to a copy of the Arizona
Department of Water Resources registration for a well, a well driller’s log and the scheduled NSA applicat
ion review fee

stem components, including well
s, treatment plants,
storage and pressure t
anks, distribution mains, and booster pumps, to obtain Approvals to Construct and Approvals of
Construction. The system must complete these applications and submit plans sealed by a Professiona
l Engineer with
required scheduled review fees. Please contact Cindy Furze at (602) 506-1058 for more information on engineering
requirements.
5. MAP. Community and Non-Transient, Non- community water systems that serve fewer than 10,000 people are
required to participate in ADEQ’s Monitoring Assistance Program (MAP). MAP performs much of the required sampling
for systems, but does not sample for bacteria, lead, copper or disinfection by products. Please contact Mary Kay Black of
ADEQ at (60
