(A) Reporting. In addition to the
		  requirements in rule 3745-81-31 of the Administrative Code, a ground water
		  system regulated under rules 3745-81-41 to 3745-81-45 and rule 3745-81-60 or

			 conducting compliance monitoring in paragraph (A) of rule 3745-81-43 of the
			 Administrative Code shall report monthly to the director the information
			 specified in rule 3745-83-01 of the Administrative Code. These ground water
			 systems shall also notify the director any time the system fails to meet any
			 director-specified requirements including, but not limited to, minimum residual
			 disinfectant concentration, membrane operating criteria or membrane integrity,
			 and alternative treatment operating criteria, if operation in accordance with
			 the criteria or requirements is not restored within four hours. The ground
			 water system shall notify the director as soon as possible, but in no case
			 later than the end of the next business day.
(2) After completing any
			 corrective action under rule 3745-81-61 of the Administrative Code, a ground
			 water system shall notify the director within thirty days of completion of the
			 corrective action.
(3) If a ground water
			 system subject to paragraph (A) of rule 3745-81-42 of the Administrative Code
			 does not conduct source water monitoring in accordance with paragraph (A)(5)(b)
			 of rule 3745-81-42 of the Administrative Code, the system shall provide
			 documentation within thirty days of the total coliform positive sample that the
			 system met appropriate criteria as acceptable to the director.
(B) Recordkeeping. In addition to rule
		  3745-81-33 of the Administrative Code, a ground water system regulated under
		  this rule shall maintain the following records:
(1) Documentation of
			 corrective actions. Documentation shall be kept for a period of not less than
			 ten years.
(2) Documentation of
			 notice to the public as required in paragraph (E) of rule 3745-81-61 of the
			 Administrative Code. Documentation shall be kept for a period of not less than
			 three years.
(3) Records of decisions
			 in paragraph (A)(5)(b) of rule 3745-81-42 of the Administrative Code and
			 records of invalidation of fecal indicator-positive ground water source samples

			 shall be kept for a period of not less than five years.
(4) For consecutive
			 systems, documentation of notification to the wholesale system of total

			 Administrative Code until March 31, 2016, or under rule 3745-81-50 of the
			 Administrative Code beginning April 1, 2016. Documentation shall be kept for a
			 period of not less than five years.
(5) The following apply
			 to systems, including wholesale systems, that are required to perform
			 compliance monitoring in paragraph (A) of rule 3745-81-43 of the Administrative
			 Code:
(a) Records of the director-specified minimum disinfectant
				residual. Documentation shall be kept for a period of not less than ten
				years.
(b) Records of the lowest daily residual disinfectant
				concentration and records of the date and duration of any failure to maintain
				the director-prescribed minimum residual disinfectant concentration for a
				period of more than four hours. Documentation shall be kept for a period of not
				less than five years.
(c) Records of compliance requirements for membrane filtration
				and of parameters specified by the director for appropriate approved
				alternative treatment and records of the date and duration of any failure to
				meet the membrane operating, membrane integrity, or alternative treatment
				operating requirements for more than four hours. Documentation shall be kept
				for a period of not less than five years.
(C) Each public water system, upon
		  discovering that a waterborne disease outbreak potentially attributable to that
		  public water system has occurred, shall report that occurrence to the director
		  as soon as possible, but no later than by the end of the next business
		  day.
