Privately-owned water treatment plants and systems shall operate within County, state, and <br />federal regulatory requirements. <br />Policy 6.1: The county shall limit the use of Privately Owned Public Water Plants to areas that meet the following criteria <br />governing connection to the county potable water system: <br />• Development served by existing Privately Owned Public Water Plants may continue to receive potable water in that <br />manner until centralized service becomes available. At that time, all development within ¼ mile of a county water line shall <br />connect to the county public portable water system. The County may consider applications for construction and operation <br />of privately-owned water plants where the development is outside the Urban Service Area and if development conforms to <br />policies in the Future Land Use Element. Developments whose potable water system causes a public health problem must <br />connect to the regional system regardless of the distance to water lines. <br />PAGE 43
