Office of Drinking Water Policies

Current Policies

Office of Drinking Water policies describe how we implement a law or rule.  Each policy includes our practice or procedure.  The statements made in these documents reflect our interpretations of rule and law and approaches to implementation. Water system requirements are not in our policies.  These requirements are found in rule and law.

• Old policies will be reformatted once this review is complete.
• Some policies and procedures are not yet available.
• Rescinded policies are only available as hard copy. 

If you have questions about a policy or need a copy mailed to you, contact Karena McGovern at (360) 236-3094. Files below are in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format with file size under 400 KB unless otherwise noted. You can download a free Adobe Acrobat viewer.
