Public Notice & Certification

Issuing a Tier 3 Notice (within 1 year)

For a Tier 3 notice, the water supplier must provide the notice to persons served within 1 year of learning of the violation. Tier 3 notices may be distributed individually or combined into an annual report. The water supplier must also issue a repeat notice annually for as long as the violation persists.

Community systems must provide the notice to their customers as follows:

• Mail or hand delivery to each customer receiving a bill and to other service connections.
• Any other method reasonably calculated to reach other persons served if they would not normally be reached by mail or hand delivery.
• Community systems may add Tier 3 notices and repeat notices to their Consumer Confidence Report if the violations are less than 1 year old.

Non-community systems must provide the notice to their customers as follows:

• Posting the notice in conspicuous locations or by mail or hand delivery.
• Any other method reasonably calculated to reach other persons served if they would not normally be reached by posting, mail or hand delivery.
