Each covered public water system shall submit a service line\ninventory, in a format to be developed by the department, that\nidentifies the location, material composition, and other details of all\nservice lines connected to its distribution system. Each covered public\nwater system shall also submit an inventory summary form, in a format to\nbe developed by the department, summarizing the data identified in the\nservice line inventory. Notwithstanding subdivisions three and four of\nthis section, the development of service line inventories and inventory\nsummary forms shall comply with requirements promulgated by the United\nStates environmental protection agency.\n 3.
