Security RegulationsThe current Colorado Drinking Water Regulations, 5 CCR-1003-1, require any public water system (PWS) to notify the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) in the event of tampering, as follows: 1.6.8 Tampering The public water system shall notify the Department as soon as possible, but no later than 10 a.m. of the next calendar day following any tampering, suspected tampering, or receipt of tampering threat by the system. Written notice must be provided within five calendar days to the Department explaining the circumstances of the occurrence and setting forth the action(s) taken to ensure the ability of the system to provide a safe and reliable supply of drinking water and to prevent any reoccurrence.
Tamper, as defined in section 25-1-114.1(6), Colorado Revised Statutes, means to introduce a contaminant into a public water system or into drinking water or to otherwise interfere with drinking water or the operation of a public water system with the intention of harming persons or public water systems. It does not include the standardized accepted treatment procedures performed by a supplier of water in preparing water for human consumption.
