Whenever a public water supply system: a. is not in compliance with the State primary drinking water regulations; b. fails to perform monitoring required by regulations adopted by the commissioner; or, c. fails to comply with the requirements prescribed by a variance or exemption, the supplier of water shall as soon as practicable give notice of that fact and of the nature, and extent and possible health effects of such fact to the municipal and county health departments, the department, the administrator, and communications media serving the area served by the system of such fact. Such notice also shall be given by the supplier of water by publication in a newspaper of general circulation, as determined by the commissioner, within the area served by such public water system at least once every 3 months so long as the violation continues. If the water bills of a public water system are issued more often than once every 3 months, such notice shall also be included in at least one water bill of the public water system for each customer every 3 months; if the public water system issues its water bills less often than once every 3 months, such notice shall be included in each of the water bills issued by the system for each customer; provided, however, that the commissioner may prescribe by regulations alternative notice requirements.
