280.11, 281.15 or 281.17 (8) and with health-related enforcement standards adopted by the department of natural resources under ch. 160.
Note: The reference to “state drinking water standards adopted...under s. 144.025" is overly inclusive. Section 144.025 contains a variety of water quality-related provisions and only s. 144.025 (2) (b) and (t) relate specifically to setting water quality and drinking water standards. Therefore, the new cross-reference is restricted to new ss. 281.15 and 281.17 (8), which correspond with current s. 144.025 (2) (b) and (t).
The cross-reference to “state drinking water standards adopted...under s. ... 162.03" is incorrect. State drinking water standards are adopted under s. 162.01. None of the powers of the DNR enumerated under s. 162.03 relates to the adoption of drinking water standards.
