PERMIT APPLICATION PROCESS NOTICE
New Community 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). A community water system (CWS) is
defined as a system that serves the same 25 or more year-round residents. For complete requirements for public water
systems, please refer to Arizona Administrative Code Title 18, Chapter 4. Copies of the regulation are available from the
office of the Arizona Secretary of State or online at www.azsos.gov. The following major requirements must be complete
prior to the issuance of a CWS permit:
1. Capacity Development Approval. The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) reviews
co
mmunity systems’ financial and technical capacity. Systems must obtain this approval before receivi
ng an operating
per
mit from Maricopa County. Please contact Linda Taunt of ADEQ at (602) 771-4416 for more inform
ation on this
requirem
e
nt.
2. New Source
Approval. New Source Approval is required for both grou
ndwater and surface water sources. To
obtain New
Source Approval, the new CWS permit applicant must submit
a New Source Approval application, which
includes a c
hemical analysis of all regulated contaminants in the source water; a copy of the Department of Water
Resources registration; and for a well, a well driller’s log and the scheduled New Source Approval application review fee
of $425.
3. Engineering Approval. Arizona law requires water system components, including wells, treatment plants,
storage and pressure tanks, distribution mains, and booster pumps, to obtain Approvals to Construct (ATC) and Approvals
of Construction (AOC). The system must complete these applications and submit plans sealed by a Professional Engineer
with required scheduled review fees. Please contact Cindy Furze at (602) 506-1058 for more information
on engineering
requirem
e
nts.
4. Certified
Operator. All public water systems must obtain the services of a certified water operator. Operators
monitor the water for various contaminants throughout the year, including bacteria, nitrate,
nitrite, lead, and copper. A
certified oper
ator must inspect each well site a minimum of once per month. 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.
5. MAP. Water systems that serve fewer than 10,000 people may be 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,
nitrate, nitrite, lead, and copper. Please contact Mary Kay Black of ADEQ at (602) 771-4518 for more information,
including program fees.
6. Operating Permit I
ssuance. After the new CWS receives applicable approvals listed in requirements 1-5 above,
the applicant will be sent a Maricopa County public water system permit application and associated invoice. Once th
e
signed public
water system permit application and appropriate scheduled annual permit fee is received by the Depart
ment,
the operating
permit will be issued to the perm
it owner/holder.
The Department
will approve or deny this application in 83 business days (16 day - Administrative Review, 67 day -
Substantive Review) excluding any days the application is returned to the applicant for additional information. You may
request a clarification from the Department of its interpretation or application of a statute, ordinance, regulation,
delegation agreement or authorized substantive policy statement as provided in A.R.S. §11-1609. Contact us by e-mail,
regular mail, telephone, or in person at the address listed at the top of the page, marked attention Drinking Water Program
