Abstract:
On December 11, 2001, the North Carolina Commission for Health Services approved a temporary rule reducing the Maximum Contaminant Level for arsenic in drinking water to the pending federal standard of ten parts-per-billion effective January 1, 2002. When the new rule goes into effect, public community and non-transient non-community drinking water systems that exceed the standard will be required to provide public notice of the exceedance.
