A. 1. The Board shall establish an annual fee for public water supply system regulatory services based on the size and type of the system and the resultant regulatory cost of the services to the state. Such annual fee shall not result in an increase of more than thirty cents ($0.30) per month per residential user of the public water supply systems per year. With the exception of state, federal, and nontransient noncommunity public water systems which shall pay actual costs of public water supply system regulatory services, no system shall pay less than four cents ($0.04) per service connection per month.
2. The Board may assess an annual minimum fee charged for:
a.purchase water systems, Fifty Dollars ($50.00),
b.groundwater systems, Seventy-five Dollars ($75.00), and
c.surface water systems, One Hundred Fifty Dollars ($150.00).
3. Any state funds appropriated for public water supply system regulatory services shall be used to offset the increased costs of regulatory services to the smaller public water supply systems with a population of up to two thousand (2,000) people.
B. A water supply system, required by state or federal law to submit laboratory analyses to the Department, may submit analyses which have been performed by a laboratory certified by the Department pursuant to this Code in lieu of analyses performed by the Department. In such case, the cost of the submitted certified laboratory analyses shall be deducted from the portion of the system's annual fee that is applicable to laboratory tests.
