Title 21a - Consumer Protection
Chapter 419a - Nonalcoholic Beverages
Section 21a-150d. - Results of analysis. Reports. Discontinuation of use of approved source due to results. Records.
(a) A laboratory which analyzes any water sample in accordance with any provision of sections 21a-150 to 21a-150j, inclusive, shall report the results of such analysis to the bottler of such water.
(b) Such results shall be available for inspection by the Department of Consumer Protection.
(c) A bottler shall report any result which indicates that a water sample contains contaminants in an amount exceeding any applicable standard to the Department of Consumer Protection not later than twenty-four hours after learning of such result.
(d) A bottler shall report the results of the analysis conducted pursuant to subsection (c) of section 21a-150b to the Department of Public Health and the Department of Consumer Protection not later than nine calendar days after receipt of the results from the environmental laboratory. If such results exceed the level set by the Commissioner of Public Health pursuant to section 22a-471 for such perfluoroalkyl substances and other unregulated contaminants, the Department of Public Health may require such bottler to discontinue use of its approved source until such source no longer creates an unacceptable risk of injury to the health or safety of persons drinking the bottled water that comes from such source. The Department of Public Health shall notify the Department of Consumer Protection of any source for which the Department of Public Health has discontinued use until such source no longer creates an unacceptable risk of injury to the health or safety of the persons drinking the bottled water that comes from such source. As used in this subsection, “unregulated contaminant” means a contaminant for which the Commissioner of Public Health, pursuant to section 22a-471, has set a level at which such contaminant creates or can reasonably be expected to create an unacceptable risk of injury to the health or safety of the persons drinking such source of water.
(e) All records of any sampling or analysis conducted in accordance with the provisions of sections 21a-150 to 21a-150j, inclusive, shall be maintained on the premises of the bottler for not less than five years.
