NR 809.04(90) (90)“Waterborne disease outbreak" means the significant occurrence of acute infectious illness, epidemiologically associated with the ingestion of water from a public water system which is deficient in treatment or is supplied from a contaminated source, as determined by the department or other local or state agency.
NR 809.04(91) (91)“Water supplier" means any person who owns or operates a public water system.
NR 809.04(92) (92)“Wholesale system" means a public water system that treats source water as necessary to produce finished water and then delivers some or all of that finished water to another public water system. Delivery may be through a direct connection or through the distribution system of one or more consecutive systems.
NR 809.04(93) (93)“Year-round resident" means a resident who resides in the same living unit for 6 months per year or more.
