Section 21a-150b - Analysis of source water for contaminants. Testing for unregulated contaminants.
(a) Qualified employees of a bottler shall collect samples of water from each approved source used by such bottler not less than once annually to test for contaminants for which allowable levels have been established in accordance with 21 CFR 165.110 and regulations adopted pursuant to sections 21a-150 to 21a-150j, inclusive, and not less than once every three years to test for contaminants for which monitoring is required pursuant to sections 21a-150 to 21a-150j, inclusive, but for which no allowable level has been established. Qualified employees of an approved laboratory shall analyze such samples to determine whether such source complies with the provisions of sections 21a-150 to 21a-150j, inclusive, any regulation adopted pursuant to said sections and any allowable contaminant level set forth in 21 CFR 165.110. Microbiological analysis shall be conducted not less than once each calendar quarter if the source of such water is other than a public water supply and shall be in addition to any sampling and analysis conducted by any government agency or laboratory.
(b) Qualified employees of a bottler shall collect samples of water from any source used by such bottler when such bottler knows or has reason to believe that water obtained from such source contains an unregulated contaminant in an amount which may adversely affect the health or welfare of the public. Qualified employees of an approved laboratory shall analyze such samples periodically to determine whether water obtained from any such source is safe for public consumption or use.
