Notification to Seasonal Public Water Systems Regarding Seasonal Startup
The Maine Drinking Water Program (DWP) understands that due to the current public health situation, many seasonal public water systems will need to delay opening their businesses for the 2020 season. Here is what you should do if you operate a seasonal public water system that will have a delayed opening in 2020:
• Notify your DWP Inspector if your plans to open for the season have changed. If you don’t know how to contact your
inspector, call the DWP main line at 207-287-2070.
• When you do open your seasonal business, perform your seasonal startup and submit the certification to the DWP
within 30 days. You can find a link to information for seasonal public water systems, including seasonal startup
documentation at http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/mecdc/environmental-health/dwp/pws/seasonal.shtml
Once you have notified the DWP that your public water system will have a delayed opening, DWP staff will make note of that, and no sampling or seasonal startup violations will be issued as long as you complete the seasonal startup procedure as required when you open.
As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the DWP by calling your DWP Inspector or our main line at 207-287-2070 with any questions or concerns you may have.
