(a) It shall be the duty and responsibility of any public or private utility engaged in the development, storage and distribution of a sanitary public water supply to provide for the safety and purity of such supply to every service connection and to collect samples of such water for bacteriological analysis at least once monthly or oftener as required by the state board of health. Such collection shall be made in special containers furnished for this purpose by the state health department division of laboratories and shall be returned to this laboratory for examination. Such examination and reporting of results shall comply with the procedures outlined in the United States public health service drinking water standards. The results of such analysis shall be reported to the owners or persons responsible for the operation of the sanitary public water supply.

(b) When the water from such water supply has been determined by laboratory examination, inspection and report of the state department of health to be unsafe for human consumption as determined by the United States public health service drinking water standards, the owners or persons responsible for the operation of such water supply shall take immediate action to correct sanitary defects, improve operation, provide necessary water treatment, or make any other changes or additions necessary to provide assuredly safe water.
