  • State Approaches to Building Water System Regulation ASDWA STATE APPROACHES to BUILDING WATER SYSTEM REGULATION
    State Approaches to Building Water System Regulation ASDWA STATE APPROACHES TO BUILDING WATER SYSTEM REGULATION Background The most commonly reported cause of waterborne outbreaks in drinking water is by the bacterium Legionella (Benedict et al., 2017; CDC, 2019), which causes Legionellosis, a respiratory disease. The Legionella bacteria infect the lungs and can cause a severe pneumonia called Legionnaires’ disease. The bacteria can also cause a less serious infection that causes mild flu-like symptoms called Pontiac fever. Legionella is found naturally in aquatic and moist environments like lakes, rivers, ground water and soil, and can be detected at low levels in treated drinking water, but it’s important to note that the presence of Legionella is not always associated with a case of Legionnaires’ disease. The biggest threat of Legionnaires’ disease comes from the water in building water systems when the organisms proliferate and become aerosolized. This leaves state primacy agencies in an uncertain position of trying to protect public health in an environment where it has very little to no legal authority or regulatory requirement to do so: there is no primary drinking water standard for Legionella. Furthermore, the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) was not expressly intended to apply to building water systems. How can states protect public health where there are no specific requirements they can enforce within regulations? The mission of this project was to provide states with some guidance. PAGE 2 ASDWA STATE APPROACHES TO BUILDING WATER SYSTEM REGULATION Project Overview This document is the culmination of a study ASDWA conducted in 2019 to review state law, federal rules, and practice that address building water systems that are a customer of a public water system (i.e., do not have their own source of supply) but that install treatment to control Legionella.

  • Water Quality Analytical Reports, Visit
    Exceptional Water Service WaterFrequently Asked Quality Questions Q: What is the source of my drinking water? ANSWER: The water systems owned by the Prince William County Service Authority are described below. The East System serves the areas of Woodbridge, Occoquan, Dumfries, Triangle and portions of the Hoadly Road area. The water for the East System is drawn from the Occoquan Reservoir and undergoes treatment at Fairfax Water’s Frederick P. Griffith Water Treatment Plant. The West System serves the Greater Manassas and Manassas South areas of Prince William County. Water for the West System is drawn from both the Potomac River and Lake Manassas. The water from the Potomac River is treated at Fairfax Water’s James J. Corbalis, Jr. Water Treatment Plant in northern Fairfax County. Water from Lake Manassas is treated at the City of Manassas’ water treatment plant. The Hoadly Manor Water System is a small water system that serves the aforementioned subdivision along Hoadly Road and Websters Way in Woodbridge. The water for the Hoadly Manor System is drawn from the Occoquan Reservoir and purchased from Virginia American Water. Customers in the Bull Run Mountain/Evergreen service area receive water from eight wells. Water from the wells is treated for corrosion control using sodium hydroxide to promote pipe longevity in the distribution system and household plumbing. Q: How “hard” is the Service Authority’s water? ANSWER: S East and West Systems water is “moderately hard.” (3.5 - 7.0 grains per gallon or 60 - 120 mg/L) S Bull Run Mountain/Evergreen water is “hard.” (7.0 - 10.5 grains per gallon or 120 - 180 mg/L) For more information about water hardness, visit: http://www.pwcsa.org/water-hardness- information.

  • Guidelines for Design of Small Public Ground Water Systems
    Guidelines for Design of Small Public Ground Water Systems Division of Drinking and Ground Waters 2015 Ohio Environmental Protection Agency Division of Drinking and Ground Waters P.O. Box 1049 Columbus, OH 43216-1049 www.epa.ohio.gov/ddagw Ohio EPA is an Equal Opportunity Employer Printed on Recycled Paper FOREWORD This publication has been prepared as a guide for professional engineers and water supply specialists engaged in the design or development of small public water systems using only ground water. The objective here is to assure that new or substantially modified public water system facilities, such as those for factories, mobile home parks, office buildings, restaurants, condominiums, schools, churches, hospitals, campgrounds, resorts, gas stations, nursing homes, golf courses, and the like will be capable of producing an adequate supply of potable water in compliance with applicable regulations. The purpose of this manual is to present the requirements and procedures necessary to develop an approved water supply system where connection to an existing public water system cannot be made at reasonable cost. This publication includes treatment design criteria for iron, manganese and hardness removal. The design of water systems using surface water or ground water under the direct influence of surface water is beyond the scope of this manual. Refer to the latest edition of “Recommended Standards for Water Works” for design criteria. The requirements, criteria, and procedures described in this publication represent current practices of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA). They are subject to change whenever in the judgment of the Agency such a change will be more effective in fulfilling its responsibility under the law.

  • Federally Supported Projects and Programs for Wastewater, Drinking Water, and Water Supply Infrastructure
    Federally Supported Projects and Programs for Wastewater, Drinking Water, and Water Supply Infrastructure Updated August 24, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R46471 SUMMARY R46471 Federally Supported Projects and Programs for August 24, 2021 Wastewater, Drinking Water, and Water Jonathan L. Ramseur, Supply Infrastructure Coordinator Specialist in Environmental For decades, Congress has authorized and modified federal programs to help communities Policy address water supply and water infrastructure needs, including both wastewater and drinking water. Departments and agencies that administer this assistance include the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the Department of Agriculture (USDA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA). These agencies administer these programs in multiple ways. In terms of funding mechanisms, projects developed or assisted by Reclamation and USACE are often funded through direct, individual project authorizations from Congress. In contrast, the other agencies administer programs with standing authorizations that establish eligibility criteria rather than identify specific projects. A key practical difference is that with the individual project authorizations, there is no predictable assistance or even guarantee of funding after a project is authorized, because funding must be secured each year in the congressional appropriations process. The programs, on the other hand, have generally received some level of annual appropriations and have set program criteria and processes by which eligible parties can seek funding. In terms of scope and mission, the primary responsibilities of the federal agencies discussed in this report cover a wide range.

  • A Public Health Legal Guide to Safe Drinking Water
    A Public Health Legal Guide to Safe Drinking Water Prepared by Alisha Duggal, Shannon Frede, and Taylor Kasky, student attorneys in the Public Health Law Clinic at the University of Maryland Carey School of Law, under the supervision of Professors Kathleen Hoke and William Piermattei. Generous funding provided by the Partnership for Public Health Law, comprised of the American Public Health Association, Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, National Association of County & City Health Officials, and the National Association of Local Boards of Health August 2015 THE PROBLEM: DRINKING WATER CONTAMINATION Clean drinking water is essential to public health. Contaminated water is a grave health risk and, despite great progress over the past 40 years, continues to threaten U.S. communities’ health and quality of life. Our water resources still lack basic protections, making them vulnerable to pollution from fracking, farm runoff, industrial discharges and neglected water infrastructure. In the U.S., treatment and distribution of safe drinking water has all but eliminated diseases such as cholera, typhoid fever, dysentery and hepatitis A that continue to plague many parts of the world. However, despite these successes, an estimated 19.5 million Americans fall ill each year from drinking water contaminated with parasites, bacteria or viruses. In recent years, 40 percent of the nation’s community water systems violated the Safe Drinking Water Act at least once.1 Those violations ranged from failing to maintain proper paperwork to allowing carcinogens into tap water. Approximately 23 million people received drinking water from municipal systems that violated at least one health-based standard.2 In some cases, these violations can cause sickness quickly; in others, pollutants such as inorganic toxins and heavy metals can accumulate in the body for years or decades before contributing to serious health problems.
