NR 811.23(1)(b) (b) Be accessible for operation and service.

NR 811.23(1)(c) (c) Be designed to prevent flotation.

NR 811.23(1)(d) (d) Be equipped with a minimum of 2 removable or traveling screens or an equivalent means of screening before the pump suction well. Systems with only one screen shall be provided with a bypass.

NR 811.23(1)(e) (e) Provide chlorination or other chemical addition facilities for raw water transmission mains.

NR 811.23(1)(f) (f) Have the intake piping valved with provisions for backflushing, testing for leaks, and control of frazil ice.

NR 811.231 NR 811.231 Off-Stream raw water storage.

NR 811.231(1) (1) Definition. In this section, “off-stream raw water storage reservoir” is defined as a facility into which water is pumped during periods of good quality and high stream flow for future release to the treatment facilities.

NR 811.231(2) (2) Construction. Off-stream raw water storage reservoirs shall be constructed to assure all of the following:

NR 811.231(2)(a) (a) Water quality is protected by controlling runoff into the reservoir.
