Statutory Definitions from RSA 485:1-a
VII. “Maximum contaminant level (MCL)” means the
maximum permissible level of a contaminant in water which is delivered to the
free flowing outlet of the ultimate user of a public water system, except in
the case of turbidity where the maximum permissible level is measured at the
point of entry to the distribution system.
Contaminants added to the water under circumstances controlled by the
user, except those resulting from corrosion of piping and plumbing caused by
water quality, are excluded from the definition.
XIII. “Person” means any individual, partnership,
company, public or private corporation, political subdivision or agency of the
state, department, agency or instrumentality of the United States, or any other
legal entity.
XIV-a. “Privately owned redistribution system” means
a system for the provision of piped water for human consumption which does not
meet the definition of public water system under paragraph XV, and meets all
the following criteria: (1) obtains all of its water from, but is not owned or
operated by, a public water system; (2) serves a population of at least 25
people, 10 household units, or 15 service connections, whichever is fewest, for
at least 60 days per year; and (3) has exterior pumping facilities, not
including facilities used to reduce pressure, or exterior storage facilities
which are not part of building plumbing.
