A seasonal system is defined as a non-community water system that is not operated as a public water system on a year-round basis and starts up at the beginning and shuts down by depressurizing and dewatering all or a portion of its distribution system at the end of each operating season. Fairway Miniature Golf And Batting Cages has been identified as a seasonal public water system based on the system's annual operating period (04/01-09/30) that is documented in the Department's records. Seasonal systems must develop and perform a start-up procedure and submit a certification to the Department that the start-up procedure was completed. The system shall not serve water to the public until the start-up procedure has been completed and the certification has been filed with the Department. The start-up procedure shall include, but is not limited to, the following elements: • Physical inspection of all sources of supply, pump houses, storage tanks, and completion of necessary repairs; • Cleaning and disinfection of all storage facilities, including all chlorine contact chambers and storage tanks; • Shock disinfection of all ground water sources and the distribution system; • Flushing of the distribution system; RECE VED Phone: (860) 509-7333 • Fax: (860) 509-7359 MAR 221017 2017 410 Capitol Avenue,P.O.Box 340308,MS#51WAT �.:.
