system need not be upgraded, repaired, replaced, or its use discontinued, notwithstanding any local ordinance that is more strict.
This provision does not apply to systems in shore/and areas, Wellhead Protection Areas, or those used in connection with food,
beverage, and lodging establishments as defined in law.
