PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM SCREENING FORM
Instructions
Connecticut General Statutes (CGS) §16-262m(a), defines a water company as: “As used in this section and
section 8-25a, "water company" means a corporation, company, association, joint stock association, partnership,
municipality, other entity or person, or lessee thereof, owning, leasing, maintaining, operating, managing or
controlling any pond, lake, reservoir, stream, well or distributing plant or system employed for the purpose of
supplying water to fifteen or more service connections or twenty-five or more persons on a regular basis.”
Such proposed water companies must obtain a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) prior to
any construction of the water system. CGS § 8-25a requires that: “No proposal for a development using water
supplied by a company incorporated on or after October 1, 1984, shall be approved by a planning commission or
combined planning and zoning commission unless such company has been issued a certificate pursuant to section
16-262m. The municipality in which the planning commission or combined planning and zoning commission is
located shall be responsible for the operation of any water company created without a certificate after October 1,
1984.”
The Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies (RSCA) § 19-13-B102(a)(65) defines a Public Water System as
“any water company supplying water to 15 or more consumers or 25 or more persons, based on the "Design
Population" as defined in section 16-262m-8(a)(3) of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, jointly
administered by the department and the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority, daily at least 60 days of the year that

Obtains all of its water from, but is not owned or operated by, a public water system;
(D)

(E)

This form is used to determine if a proposed project or a change in operation at an existing facility will result in the
creation of a new water company or public water system or change the status of an existing public water system.
