GROUNDWATER RULE

A Compliance Guide

There are several components to the groundwater rule that applies to all community water systems (CWS) and non-community water systems (NCWS). They include determining the sensitivity of your groundwater system; additional monitoring for total coliform positive samples; correcting significant deficiencies identified in your sanitary survey; and a requirement to take corrective actions after certain triggers are exceeded.
