4913 Statutory provisions of Safe Water Drinking Act, requiring county to review water quality reports submitted by operators of water systems and to report compliance violations to Department of Public Health, do not create an implied mandatory duty on the county to direct operator of contaminated water system to notify affected consumers of the contamination; the duty to notify falls on the operator of the system and, even though regulations permit the county to intervene in the notification process, the regulations do not create any implied mandatory duty regarding notification of consumers.CitationGUZMAN v COUNTY OF MONTEREY (Contaminated Water) 46C4 887 [See: GovC 815.6;; H&SC 116270 etseq; Guzman v.
