4544 REVIEW GRANTED A State Department of Health Services regulation requiring a designated local primacy agency to review reports submitted by water operators and to notify them of monitoring requirements imposes an implied mandatory duty on the agency to review water quality reports and, when such reports indicate unacceptable levels of contamination, to inform the water system operator of its responsibility to so notify customers; a breach of that duty may result in the agency's liability to customers of the water operator; immunity provisions of the Government Code do not apply to a public entity's liability for breach of a mandatory duty.CitationGUZMAN v COUNTY OF MONTEREY (Contaminated Water) 155 CA4 645 [See: GovC 815.6; H&SC 116270 etseq; Becerra v County 68 CA4 1450, T/AT 2/99; Alejo v City 75 CA4 1180, T/AT 12/99]
