(b) This subchapter authorizes a reclaimed water production facility to produce reclaimed domestic wastewater at a site other than a permitted domestic wastewater treatment facility.
(c) A reclaimed water production facility authorized according to this subchapter is not required to hold a wastewater discharge permit from the commission, except as provided in §210.5 of this title (relating to Authorization for the Use of Reclaimed Water).
(d) A reclaimed water production facility may be authorized only if the owner of the reclaimed water production facility is also an owner of the associated domestic wastewater treatment facility that is permitted by the commission.
(e) If the wastewater discharge permit for the domestic wastewater treatment facility associated with a reclaimed water production facility expires, lapses, is surrendered, suspended, or revoked, the authorization to operate the reclaimed water production facility is automatically cancelled.
