| Sumario: | The writer discusses the implications of the EPA Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rules and the Disinfectants/Disinfection By-products Rule. These new rules, which are currently in the process of being finalized, could prompt substantial financial and operational changes in water treatment for cities and counties. In particular, tighter contaminants standards and limitations of the use of disinfectants are likely to lead to changes ranging from minor operational modifications to new treatment plant constructions. Examples of the types of changes that utilities will have to make to accommodate the rules are discussed. |
