A. The Department may issue an order to a respondent requiring compliance with the Oklahoma Water Supply Systems Act, rules of the Board, and orders previously issued to such respondent. Such orders may require a change in the source or sources of a public water supply, or in the manner of storage, distribution, purification or treatment of the supply before delivery to consumers, as may be necessary to safeguard the public health or environment. Such orders shall be issued pursuant to the Administrative Procedures Act, this Code and rules promulgated thereunder.
B. The Department may issue an emergency order to any public water supply system requiring change in the source of the water supply or in the manner of storage, distribution, purification or treatment of the supply before delivery to consumers, or any other action which, in the Executive Director's judgment, is necessary to safeguard the health of the consumers or the environment.
1. The order may require public water supply systems to notify consumers of the problem with the supply and the action required by order of the Executive Director.
2. Any respondent to whom such an order is directed and who considers the requirements of the order to be illegal, unjust or unreasonable may request an administrative hearing within ten (10) days after the order is served. Such hearing shall be subject to the Administrative Procedures Act, rules promulgated by the Board and this Code.
3. The order shall remain in full effect until it is rescinded by the Executive Director.
