To Our Customers,

In March 2010, U.S. EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson announced the Agency's new Drinking Water Strategy (DWS) which is aimed at finding ways to strengthen public health protection from contaminants in drinking water.

EPA surface water treatment rule requires 99.9% Giardia removal or inactivation, and at least 99% removal of Cryptosporidium.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency introduced enhanced coagulation for the removal of Natural Organic Matter (NOM). NOM in source water will react with disinfectants to produce disinfection byproducts (DBP) that have injurious health effects. Enhanced Coagulation was introduced to reduce the NOM thereby reducing the DBP precursors.

The Safe Water Drinking Act (SWDA) was passed by Congress in 1974 and established regulations to protect the nation’s public drinking water supply. The law was amended in 1986 and 1996.
