Site Visits

Representatives of regulating agencies conduct site visits. A regulating agency is a government agency that has rule enforcement authority over assigned public water systems. Possible reasons for conducting a site visit include: performing a compliance inspection, investigating a complaint, providing technical support (e.g., training), and inspecting construction. One of the most common reasons for a site visit is to perform a sanitary survey. A sanitary survey is an important element in helping water systems protect public health. Sanitary surveys are carried out to evaluate:
  
  •  
 The capability of a drinking water system to consistently and reliably deliver an adequate quality and quantity of safe drinking water to the consumer.
  •  
 The system’s compliance with federal drinking water regulations. Much of the information generated by a sanitary survey helps identify existing and potential sanitary risks.
 
On the Site Visits page you may view information about site visits that have been made at a water system. The page also includes basic water system information, such as Water System No., Water System Name, Principal County Served, Status, Federal and State Type, Source, and Activity Date.
 
The page displays Site Visits that have occurred in the last 2 years, by default.  If you want to see the site visits that have been made during other periods of time, use the Site Visit Date From and To fields in the mm/dd/yyyy format and then click on Search.
