When IPP verifies documentation for private water supplies, which frequency applies?

• A. Annually
• B. Monthly
• C. Semi-annually
• D. Bi-weekly

Answer: (C)

Semi-annually (twice a year) is the frequency for IPP to verify private water supply documentation. This cadence keeps records current with any changes in the system, treatment, or test results without overburdening the inspection process. Verification typically includes reviewing water quality test results, maintenance and disinfection records, treatment changes, well or pump logs, and operator certifications. Annual checks risk missing updates that happen between visits, while monthly or bi-weekly reviews are unnecessarily frequent for documentation rather than actual testing cycles.
