    This is my suggestion
    for the Board note
    El
    is it reasonable?1 “BOARD NOTE:
    On
    December 23,
    2003,
    USEPA published a re-interpretation of submetering of a
    water system for the purposes of tracking water use and consumption.
    A
    submetered public water system is not considered to “sell” water under the
    criteria for exemption.
    The Agency will determine whether or not a public
    water system meets
    the criteria for submetering based upon the following:
    A
    submetered public water system must purchase all
    water from a public water
    system subject to Section
    611 regulations.
    A submetered public water system
    must have a limited distribution system, with the no history or presence of
    unprotected cross-connections and a majority of
    its plumbing within
    a
    structure rather than underground.
    A submetered public water system must be
    ovined by a single/individual
    or an association of property owners,
    as
    in the
    case of a condominium or co-op.
    A public water system that serves a large
    distribution system,
    a large consumer population,
    or a mixed
    commercial/industrial population
    does not qualify as a submetered public water
    system.
    Examples of public water systems that do not qualify as submetered
    public water systems are military installations or facilities and large mobile
    home parks.” Attachment:
