Home Water Treatment: Is It Feasible?
The distinction is made between point‐of‐use and point‐of‐entry water treatment devices. Because many small water systems will have difficulty meeting the new Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requirements, home water treatment units have emerged as an alternative means of treatment for small systems. Currently the USEPA does not accept pointof‐use devices as an available technology for complying with drinking water regulations, although it does accept point‐of‐entry devices. However, a recent provision by the USEPA gives states the authority to require point‐of‐use treatment and bottled water as interim measures if exemptions to meeting regulations are given, provided that is the most inexpensive possibility for coping with an unreasonable health risk. To judge whether the public is being protected by one means of control or another the specific contaminant must be considered. The article also discusses liability, financing of equipment purchases for small systems, disinfection, monitoring of units, public control and licensing of units and personnel, and standards. AWWA does not have a standard for point‐of‐use and point‐of‐entry devices because such a standard would go beyond the current definition of what AWWA standards address. Specifically, AWWA standards address performance and function, not installation and application.
