A. The Department may, of its own accord, investigate the sanitary quality of water supplied to the public if the Department has reason to believe that such water supply is prejudicial to the public health or environment. Such investigation shall be made whenever a complaint is made to the Department by the mayor of any city, the president of the board of trustees of any incorporated town or any other public entity including a public works authority, or a rural water or sewage district, or by the Department's local representative, about the sanitary quality of water supply within their respective counties.
B. During such investigation, the person in charge of the water supply shall furnish the Department all the information requested by it relative to the source or sources from which the supply of water is derived, and the manner of storage, distribution and purification or treatment necessary or desirable for the determination of its sanitary quality.
