Sec. 1701z-15. Approval of individual residential water
purification or treatment units
(a) In general
When the existing water supply does not meet the minimum property
standards established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development
and a permanent alternative acceptable water supply is not available, a
continuous supply of water may be provided through the use of approved
residential water treatment equipment or a water purification unit that
provides bacterially and chemically safe drinking water.
(b) Approval process
A performance-based approval of the equipment or unit and the
maintenance, monitoring, and replacement plan for such equipment or unit
shall be certified by field offices of the Department of Housing and
Urban Development based upon general standards recognized by the
Department as modified for local or regional conditions. As a part of
such approved plan, a separate monthly escrow account may be required to
be established through the lender to cover the cost of the approved
yearly maintenance and monitoring schedule and projected replacement of
the equipment or unit.
