Article 2. Source Development
Preference shall be given to the best available sources of supply which present minimal risks of contamination from wastewaters and which contain a minimum of impurities that may be hazardous to health.

In selecting the source of water to be developed, the designing engineer must prove to the satisfaction of the commissioner that the water which is to be delivered to the consumers shall comply with all applicable PMCLs of the board with respect to bacteriological, physical, chemical and radiological qualities. All water samples for chemical, physical and radiological analyses must be submitted to the Commonwealth of Virginia, Department of General Services, Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services or to a testing laboratory certified by the Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services.
