Surface water systems must mail reports to the TCEQ in Austin by the 5th of the following month.

• A. TRUE
• B. FALSE
• C. ONLY FOR NEW SYSTEMS
• D. NEVER

Answer: (B)

Regulatory reporting deadlines for surface water systems are set to capture the previous month’s operation and data. The standard due date for submitting the Monthly Operating Report to TCEQ is the 10th day of the following month (some systems may have a different date only if their permit specifies it). The statement that reports must be mailed by the 5th is not generally correct, so it’s false. Check your system’s permit or the TCEQ online portal for the exact deadline specific to your situation.
