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 of each operating season and shuts down by depressurizing and dewatering all or a portion of its distribution system at the end. Fairway Miniature Golf And Batting Cages has been identified as a seasonal public water system based on the system's annual operating period (4/1-9/30) that is documented in the Department's records. In accordance with 40 CFR §141.854(f), the system has met the requirements for increased monitoring for incurring a treatment technique violation. Fairway Miniature Golf And Batting Cages must begin monthly monitoring for total coliform and physical parameters. The next compliance sample must be collected during the June 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018 monitoring period. Please inform the certified laboratory of the change in monitoring. Seasonal systems must complete a start-up procedure and submit a certification to the Department that the start-up procedures were 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. Fairway Miniature Golf And Batting Cages failed to complete a State-approved start-up procedure prior to serving water to the public and has incurred a treatment technique violation as described in 40 CFR§141.860(b)(2). The system also incurred a reporting violation for failure to submit the seasonal start-up certification prior to distributing water. �9 Connecli«t y o� t• Phone: (860) 509-7333 • Fax: (860)509-7359 DPH 410 Capitol Avenue,P.O.Box 340308,MS#12DWS Hartford,Connecticut 06134-0308 I jo www.ct.g_ov/dph/publicdrinkingwater =7 Connecticut Department Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer of Public Health Mr.Richard L.Tonucci May 30, 2018 Page 2 If Fairway Miniature Golf And Batting Cages completed a start-up procedure prior to serving water to the public at the beginning of the operating season (4/1), a certification form must be submitted to the Department immediately.
