Not later than August 6, 2000, the cabinet shall develop and begin

In preparing the system capacity development strategy, the cabinet shall solicit
and consider public comment on, and incorporate into the strategy as
appropriate:
(a) The methods or criteria that the cabinet will use to identify and prioritize
public water systems most in need of improving technical, financial, and
managerial capacity;
(b) A description of the institutional, regulatory, financial, tax, or legal factors
at the federal, state, or local level that encourage or impair system
capacity development;
(c) A description of how the cabinet will use the authorities and resources of
the Safe Drinking Water Act as amended by PL 104-182, or other means,
to assist public water systems in complying with national primary drinking
water regulations, to encourage the development of partnerships between
public water systems to enhance the system capacity of public water
systems, and to assist public water systems in the training and
certification of operators;
(d) A description of how the cabinet will establish a baseline against which to
measure improvements in system capacity with respect to national
primary drinking water regulations, this chapter, KRS 224.10-110, and
administrative regulations promulgated thereunder; and
(e) An identification of the persons that have an interest in and are involved
in the development and implementation of the system capacity
development strategy, including all appropriate agencies of federal, state,
and local governments, private and nonprofit public water systems, and
public water system customers.
If the cabinet determines that an existing public water system does not have
system capacity, it may assist the public water system in submitting a system
capacity development plan as part of the long range water supply plan required
by KRS 151.114. The plan shall contain timetables, goals, and funding sources
necessary for the public water system to achieve system capacity.
