R70-630-8. Enforcement and Penalties

(1) The department shall order a water vending machine operator to discontinue the operation of any water vending machine that represents a threat to the life or health of any person, or whose finished water does not meet the minimum standards provided for in this rule. Such water vending machine shall not be returned to use until such time the department determines that the conditions which caused the discontinuance of operation no longer exist.

(2) The department shall deny a Registration (procedures for Registration denial are stated in R51-2) when it is determined that there has been a substantial failure to comply with the provisions of this rule by which the health or life of the consumers is threatened or impaired, or by which or through which, directly or indirectly, disease is caused. Registration can also be denied or suspended if the water has been adulterated.
