If regulated contaminants are detected in a public water supply, and certain subpopulations are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects because of age, gender, pregnancy, or preexisting medical conditions, the consumer confidence report or other reports and notices, or both, shall contain information related to all of the following:

The contaminant that was detected.

The level of the contaminant that was detected.

The vulnerable population that may be susceptible to the level of contaminant detected.

The potential adverse health effects associated with exposure of the vulnerable population to the level of contaminant detected in the water supply.

The requirement in subsection (3) shall only apply if the department provides suppliers of water with statements derived from the United States environmental protection agency or other sources determined by the department to be reliable concerning the adverse effects of regulated contaminants on vulnerable subpopulations. The statements shall be in a form that can be easily inserted into the consumer confidence reports or other reports and notices provided for in this section.
