Description:
One alternative solution to drinking water contamination problems which has received more attention in recent years is treatment of contaminated water at the home, or point-of-use. While point-of-use treatment may provide a cost effective solution to drinking water contamination, especially in small communities, the loss of central control of the treatment process necessitates a sound program for managing treatment devices. This document discusses steps which small communities should consider to implement proper installation and ongoing monitoring and maintenance of point-of-use treatment devices to assure public health and compliance with applicable drinking water regulations.
