EPA Releases Tool to Help Small Drinking Water Systems
EPA has released a new tool for small water utilities trying to balance the demands for quality water with their financial ability to deliver. The tool is part of an overall program to protect public health, support small water systems and keep costs of water manageable. The targeted systems serve 3,300 customers or fewer.
The document, ג€Setting Small Drinking Water System Rates for a Sustainable Future,ג€ will help owners and operators understand the full costs of providing a quality and adequate supply of drinking water to their customers and guide them in setting water rates that will support these costs.
The document is available at:
