particular water source is subject to potential contamination, the
Department shall notify the appropriate bottler, distributor, or vendor of
bottled water, owner or operator of a water-vending machine,
water hauler, retail water facility operator, or private
water source operator of the specific contaminants or class of
contaminants that pose a potential health risk.
(b) Within 7 days after notification by the Department, the
bottler, distributor, or vendor of bottled water, owner or
operator of a water-vending machine, water hauler, retail
water facility operator, or private water source operator must
conduct an analysis of the water source and submit the results of the

(c) If evidence of contamination is found, the Department may, by
