PERMIT APPLICATION PROCESS NOTICE
New Transient Non-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. A business, for example
a res
taurant or motel, that serves an average of at least 25 people per day but does not serve the same people for
more than six months of the year would be categorized as a transient non-community water system (TNCWS).
For complete requirements for public water systems, please refer to 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 major requirements must be complete prior to the issuance of a new TNCWS permit:
1. Capacity Development Approval. The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ)
reviews community systems’ financial and technical capacity. Systems must obtain this approval before
receiving an operating permit from Maricopa County. Please contact Linda Taunt of ADEQ at (602) 771-4416
for more information on this requirement.
2. New Source Approval. New Source Approval is required for both groundwater and surface water
sources. To obtain New Source Approval, the new TNCWS permit applicant must submit a New Source
Approval application, which includes a chemical 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 and
approvals of construction. 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 requirements.
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 operator 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 Issuance. After new TNCWS 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 the signed public water system permit application and appropriate scheduled annual permit fee is
received by the department, the operating permit will be issued to the permit 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
