Abstract:
Forty-six community water systems monitored by the North Carolina Division of Health Services have naturally occurring levels of radium high enough to violate drinking water standards for groundwater supplies. Operators of these non-compliant water systems must develop a remedial action plan to bring the water supply into compliance with regulatory standards. Several options are discussed in this article.

Abstract:
In a project sponsored by the North Carolina Urban Water Consortium, university investigators have concluded that the urban water utilities they studied may need to improve removal of disinfection by-products from drinking water to meet requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1986. They also conclude that requirements for removal of synthetic organic chemicals and volatile organic chemicals will probably not have a major impact on the utilities.

Abstract:
The National Governors’ Association proposed a freeze on implementation of current regulations and moratorium on new regulations under the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1986. While other states perceive a crisis in the nation’s drinking water program, North Carolina representatives claim the state’s drinking water program is stable because it took steps in time to avert one. State drinking water administrators would prefer flexibility in establishing local priorities.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Division of Environmental Health has submitted to the Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources an expanded budget request of more than two-million-dollars to provide for improved enforcement of the state’s safe drinking water program. The request was spurred by United States Environmental Protection Agency concerns about the level of resources devoted to enforcing Safe Drinking Water Act regulations.

Abstract:
The United States Environmental Protection Agency’s new “Information Collection Rule” is likely to mean at least two-million-dollars in monitoring, laboratory and reporting costs and pilot programs for North Carolina’s large water utilities over the next few years. The new rule convened in 1992 to address limits on disinfection by-products, which are suspected in drinking water, and create new requirements for removing microbial contaminants from poor-quality surface waters.

Abstract:
Dr. Philip Singer of the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill is looking for ways to help water utilities in North Carolina out of a regulatory dilemma regarding maximum contaminant levels in water treatment. Singer will explore the possibility that elevating the pH of coagulated and settled water prior to the application of chlorine can control disinfection levels.
