SUBJECT: SEASONAL SYSTEM START-UP PROCEDURES
Dear Mr. Tonucci:
The Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR), under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, takes
effect on April 1, 2016 for all public water systems. These new requirements will have
significant impacts on seasonal public water systems. Seasonal public water systems will be
required to complete a start-up procedure prior to serving water to the public at the beginning of
each operating season.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 byi 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.
The Department is developing guidelines to assist seasonal systems with the development and
performance of a start-up procedure that meets these requirements. The guidelines will provide
detailed information on the minimum elements that are required in a seasonal system's start-up
procedure and on how to conduct an inspection of a seasonal water system. The guidelines will
be available on the Drinking Water Section's Revised Total Coliform Rule webpage at:
http://www.ct.gov/dph/cwp/view.asp?a=3139&q=544350. The seasonal system start-up
procedures certification form is included with this letter and can also be found on the same
webpage.
Starting on April 1, 2016, 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
