(1)Be accessible using a prominently-displayed link on the home page of the Office of Drinking Water’s website.

Where PFAS levels are not available to the Division, the website must indicate the approximate date on which PFAS levels will be available online and must post the PFAS levels online as soon as they are available.

(c)Upon receiving notification from the Division that a PFAS MCL has been exceeded in a public drinking water system, the water utility company that operates that public drinking water system must provide prompt notice of the excess PFAS levels to all Delaware residents who receive water from that system.

(c)of this section must meet all of the following requirements:
