Ala. Admin. Code r. 335-7-11-.06
Water systems shall collect at least one sample during each monitoring period from the number of sites established by Table 11-1. A system conducting reduced monitoring under this rule shall collect at least one sample from the number of sites specified in the Reduced Monitoring Sites column below. Such reduced monitoring sites shall be representative of the sites required for standard monitoring. A public water system that has fewer than five drinking water taps that can be used for human consumption shall collect at least one sample from each tap and then shall collect additional samples from those taps on different days during the monitoring period to meet the required minimum number of sample sites list in Table 11-1. Under no circumstance can a water system reduce the minimum number of samples below 5 per monitoring period.
