   (c) Detection in the source water of a volatile organic compound,
except trihalomethanes, for which source monitoring is required
pursuant to this section shall be followed immediately by a program
of periodic monitoring by the water bottler, water vendor, or retail
water facility to confirm the presence or absence in the source water
of the volatile organic compound.  If the volatile organic compound
is confirmed to be present in the source water it shall be treated
using granular activated carbon treatment or an equivalent treatment
operated in accordance with good manufacturing practices as provided
in Section 129.80 of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations
until the time that the concentration of the volatile organic
compound does not exceed either one part per billion, or any United

to the department for any substance, including organic chemical
contaminants, at any time that the department believes the substance
may be present in the water source and threaten the public health.
111160.  (a) Upon a determination by the department that a
particular water source is subject to potential contamination, the
department shall notify the bottler, distributor, or vendor of
bottled water, the owner and operator of any water-vending machine,
any water hauler, any retail water facility operator, or any private
water source operator of the specific contaminants or class of
contaminants that pose a potential health risk.
   (b) Within 90 days after notification by the department, the
bottler, distributor, vendor of bottled water, the owner and operator
of any water-vending machine, any water hauler, any retail water
facility operator, or any private water source operator shall conduct
an analysis of the water source and submit the results of the
analysis to the department.
   (c) If evidence of contamination is found, the department may, by
order, require the bottler, distributor, vendor of bottled water, or
the owner and operator of any water-vending machine, any water
hauler, any retail water facility operator, or any private water
source operator to conduct a source and product water analysis for
the contaminants of concern in accordance with conditions specified
by the department.  The water analysis shall be conducted and
reported on an annual basis, unless the department finds that
reasonable action requires either more frequent or less frequent
analysis.
   (d) The department may, by order, require the bottler,
distributor, vendor of bottled water, the owner and operator of any
water-vending machine, any water hauler, any retail water facility
operator, or any private water source operator to reduce or eliminate
the concentration of any chemical that the department determines may
have an adverse effect on public health.  Until an enforceable
standard has been established for a chemical that may have an adverse
effect on human health, the department may require treatment
techniques to reduce the concentration of the contaminants that
require treatment, in the department's judgment, to prevent known or
anticipated adverse effects on the health of persons.  The treatment
system shall be designed to meet criteria designated by the
department or by an independent authority approved by the department.
   (e) The department may grant variances from the requirements of
subdivision (d), if the bottler, distributor, vendor of bottled
water, the owner and operator of any water-vending machine, any water
hauler, any retail water facility operator, or any private water
source operator demonstrates either of the following:
   (1) That the prescribed treatment technique is not necessary to
protect the health of consumers because its water source is not
subject to, nor is it likely to be subject to, significant chemical
contamination.
   (2) An alternative treatment technique is at least as efficient in
lowering the level of contaminants to be controlled.
111165.  All testing of bottled water, bottled water sources, water
distributed by water haulers, water from retail water facility, and
water from vending machines shall be done by laboratories approved by
the department, laboratories certified by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency, laboratories certified by the
primary enforcement authority in states that have been granted
primacy by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, or
laboratories certified (accredited) by a third-party organization
acceptable to a primacy state.
