Division of Drinking Water Checklist for Issuing Operating Permits

Water System Name: System Number:

Project Description: File Number:

The following items must be submitted and found to be acceptable for operating permit issuance with
the exception of distribution lines without booster pumps and/or pressure-reducing valves. [Waterline
projects without booster pumps and/or pressure-reducing valves may be placed into service prior to submittal of all items or
the Division’s issuance of an operating permit if: (1) the water system has officially designated a professional engineer (P.E.)
responsible for the entire water system; and, (2) if this designated P.E. has received a “Certification of Rule Conformance”
statement issued by a P.E. and evidence of satisfactory bacteriological sample result. In this case, a public water system will
submit all items needed for obtaining an operating permit for each distribution system project even after the new waterlines
have been placed into service as determined by the water system’s designated P.E.]
