Provides that within 5 days after receiving that notice the owner or operator of the community water system must send a copy of the notice to all residents and owners of premises connected to the community water system. Provides for the indirect notification of institutional residents. Requires the owner or operator of the community water system to provide the Agency with proof that the notices have been sent.
