The proposed revisions address the 2006 amendment to the federal Safe Drinking Water Act to include two new rules relating to enhanced surface water treatment (LT2ESWR) and disinfection byproducts (Stage 2DBPR). These rules address more stringent disinfection byproducts standards and will supplement existing regulations by targeting additional Cryptosporidium treatment requirements to higher-risk systems.
