There are two manuals available; one for use by municipalities and rural water systems, and one for privately owned systems, home-owners associations, mobile home parks, and very small systems serving less than 100 people. Please be sure to choose the correct manual for your system, and call
515/725-0298 if you have questions concerning your decision.
Since the manual covers several topics, there are different sources of information you will want to use during its completion.
For questions related to Assessing Your Facilities, you may refer to the latest sanitary survey performed by your local Field Office. If that is insufficient, you might want to call the Field Office or Central Office personnel. Numbers for these staff are listed below:
