THE DEPARTMENT HAS SUPERVISION AND CONTROL OVER THE

FROM WHICH DRINKING WATER IS COLLECTED FOR DELIVERY IN
CONTAINERS AND HAS JURISDICTION OVER THE METHOD OF
COLLECTING, BOTTLING, AND DELIVERING WATER.

(B) PERMIT REQUIRED TO COLLECT, BOTTLE, OR DELIVER
DRINKING WATER.

(1) NO DRINKING WATER MAY BE COLLECTED, BOTTLED,
OR DELIVERED UNTIL A PERMIT TO DO SO HAS BEEN ISSUED BY THE
DEPARTMENT TO THE OWNER OF THE SUPPLY.

(2) A PERMIT MAY NOT BE ISSUED IF THE DEPARTMENT
DETERMINES THAT THE WATER IS IN ANY WAY INJURIOUS TO THE
PUBLIC HEALTH.

(C) PERMIT TO SELL DRINKING WATER FROM OUTSIDE THIS
STATE.

(1) ANY PERSON WHO HANDLES DRINKING WATER
SHIPPED FROM POINTS OUTSIDE THIS STATE SHALL RECEIVE A
PERMIT TO SELL WATER ONLY IF THE PERSON PRESENTS TO THE
DEPARTMENT A PERMIT ISSUED BY THE STATE BOARD OF HEALTH OF
THE STATE IN WHICH THE WATER IS COLLECTED, DEMONSTRATING
THAT THE SOURCE OF THE WATER SUPPLY AND THE METHOD OF
HANDLING THE WATER, AS PRACTICED IN THAT STATE, ARE NOT
PREJUDICIAL TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH, AND THAT THE WATER IS
ALLOWED TO BE SOLD IN THE STATE THAT ISSUED THE PERMIT.

(2) NOTHING IN THIS SECTION PREVENTS THE
DEPARTMENT FROM PROHIBITING THE USE OF WATER SHIPPED FROM
OUTSIDE THIS STATE, IF, IN THE JUDGMENT OF THE DEPARTMENT,
THE WATER IS SHOWN BY ANALYSIS TO BE UNFIT FOR DRINKING OR
IF ITS QUALITY IN ANY WAY IS INJURED BY SUCH HANDLING AS MAY
BE ACCORDED TO IT AFTER ARRIVING IN THIS STATE.
