Section 64552 - Initial Permit for Public Water System(a) Each public water system applying for an initial domestic public water system permit shall submit an application that includes: (1) A map and description of the entire existing and proposed service area, showing: (A) The location of each water source, as well as wells that are abandoned, out-of-service, destroyed, standby, or inactive (not physically connected to the water system), together with: 1. Any valid water rights owned by the system for surface water sources, including information on any limitations or restrictions of those rights;2. For a groundwater aquifer, the groundwater levels and drawdown patterns;3. Permits or approvals for groundwater extraction if pumping from an adjudicated groundwater basin;4. Existing and planned source pumping capability and distribution storage capacity for the system as a whole and for each pressure zone;5. The calculated sustained well yields of existing wells if groundwater sources are used;6. Permits for any waters proposed for use to offset potable water demand; and(B) Treatment facilities and pumping plants;(C) Distribution system piping, pressure zones, hydropneumatic tanks, and reservoirs;(D) Valves, sample taps, and other system appurtenances;(E) Recycled water and sewage systems;(F) Conveyance facilities;(G) Any flood plains in the projected service area; and(H) The 100 year flood or highest recorded flood level, whichever is higher.(2) The population, and number and type of residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial service connections, in the system's projected service area;(3) Design drawings of proposed facilities drawn to scale, showing location, size, and construction material;(4) As-built drawings of existing facilities, drawn to scale, showing location, size, construction materials, and year of installation of any water main or other facility that has already been constructed;(5) The estimated MDD and PHD with the methods, assumptions, and calculations used for the estimations;(6) A source water assessment and description of each source of water proposed for use to meet the estimated MDD and information demonstrating that the sources are adequate to do so, such as, but not limited to, well pump tests, the capacities of all pumping facilities, and the hydraulic capacity of surface water treatment facilities, (A) If the system plans to use surface water, the system shall demonstrate that it holds a valid water right to that amount of water including any allowable reductions or limitations on its availability, as stated in the water rights contract;(B) If groundwater is to be used, the system shall demonstrate that the groundwater aquifer is sufficient, or in the case of adjudicated groundwater basins, that approval has been obtained to allow that amount of sustained withdrawal including any allowable reductions or limitations on its availability, as stated in the water rights contract;(C) If purchased water is to be used, the system shall provide contracted amount and the hydraulic capacity at each turnout and any allowable reductions or limitations on its availability, as stated in the purchased water contract; and(7) Information that demonstrates how the system proposes to reliably meet four hours of PHD using, but not limited to, available source capacity and distribution reservoirs.(b) The information in subsection (a) shall be prepared by a professional civil engineer registered in the State of California with experience in water supply engineering.Cal.
