Acute violations require public notification within 72 hours by radio and television using the words 'Minor Health Concern'.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Within 24 hours
• D. By mail only

Answer: (B)

Public notification for acute drinking-water violations must be issued within 24 hours of learning of the violation, using the fastest available method (such as radio or television). The notice should clearly describe the health effects and the actions customers should take. The exact phrase “Minor Health Concern” isn’t a required or standard part of these notices. Because the rule requires 24 hours (not 72) and does not mandate that wording, the statement is false.
