Drinking Water Plan Review Arkansas Department of Health

Drinking Water Plan Review

The Engineering Section conducts plan review activities in a number of areas. In some cases, a project under review by the Engineering Section may also require review by one or more other sections of the Department of Health. An example of multi-division review projects would be plans for the construction of a new restaurant, including water and sewer line extensions to serve it. Department of Health regulations require, in addition to the review by the Engineering Section, a review of the plumbing plans by the Protective Health Codes staff, and a review of the food preparation and service facilities by the Food Services staff.

Information on the types of projects specifically reviewed by the Engineering Section is provided in the projects section.
