That Tap Water Is Legal but May Be Unhealthy, CHARLES DUHIGG, December 16, 2009
“The 35‐year‐old federal law regulating tap water is so out of date that the water Americans drink can pose what scientists say are serious health risks — and still be legal. Only 91 contaminants are regulated by the Safe Drinking Water Act, yet more than 60,000 chemicals are used within the United States.”

MICROORGANISMS
• Three types:
• Bacteria – E. coli, Salmonella, Vibrio cholera
• Viruses – rhinovirus, norovirus, rotavirus
• Parasites – Cryptosporidium, Naegleria
• Pathogens cause disease. These microorganisms can also be shed in the feces of humans and animals.

Escherichia coli (E.coli) is a bacterium naturally found in the intestines and the feces of warm-blooded animals.
Commonly used as an indicator of fecal pollution of water.
Many different types of E. coli, most harmless, but some may cause illness
(e.g. foodborne outbreaks caused by E. coli O157:H7)

The danger of abandoning chlorination
A stark example of the continuing public health threat from waterborne disease outbreaks occurred in Peru in 1991, where a major causative factor was inadequate drinking water disinfection. The result: a five‐year epidemic of cholera, the disease’s first appearance in the Americas in the 20th century. The epidemic spread to 19 Latin American countries, causing more than one million illnesses and 12,000 deaths.
EPA: the acute health risk due to enteric disease agents is fouror five orders of magnitude greater than the chronic exposure risk from THMs.

Cancer on Tap, Fleckenstein, 2001• The risks of drinking chlorinated water …• …regulations reflect an accommodating view toward organochlorines.• …industry officials and regulators operate with an innocent until proven
guilty prejudice.• …the Morris study found disinfection by‐products in chlorinated water to
be responsible for 9% of all bladder cancers and 15% of rectal cancers in the U.S. This translates into 10,000 deaths.
• …pregnant women with high exposure to chlorinated drinking water nearly doubled their risk of miscarriage, from a rate of 9.5% to 16%
• The effect of all the factors (genetic, diet, exposure to other pollutants) in addition to the one under study, such as chlorinated drinking water, tends to obscure causal relationships.
• …it is important to recognize that the EPA did not set the standard for disinfection by‐products in drinking water based only on their health effects.

EPA has taken a series of steps …Differences between the Rules
Stage 1• Establishes limits:• Chemical disinfectants:
– maximum residual disinfectant level goals (MRDLG) and
– maximum residual disinfectant levels (MRDLs) for Cl2, ClO2
• Disinfection byproducts:– maximum contaminant level
goals (MCLGs) and – maximum contaminant levels
(MCLs) for total trihalomethanes, haloaceticacids, chlorite and bromate
Stage 2• Tightens compliance
monitoring• Evaluate distribution
systems for high risk areas• Site specific – locational
running annual average (LRAA)
• Who: – Comm. Water Services > 25 pers.– Nontransient CWS, >25, > 6 mo

What are the Costs & Benefits?EPA estimates that implementation of the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule will resultin:1- As many as 140 million people receiving increased protection from DBPs.2- 24 percent national average reduction in TTHM levels.3- Reduction in exposure to the major DBPs from use of ozone (bromate) and chlorine dioxide (chlorite).
The total annual cost of the rule is about $700 million. EPA believes that the benefits exceed the costs of theStage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule. An estimated 115 million households are affectedby the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule. EPA estimates that 95 percent of thehouseholds will incur additional costs of less than $1 per month on their water bills. An additional fourpercent will pay between $1 and $10 per month more, and one percent are expected to incur increasedwater bills of $10 to $33 per month, if they choose to install treatment. However, many of these systemsmay chose less costly non-treatment options, such as consolidation. The majority of households incurringthe highest costs are small systems serving less than 10,000 people that have never been regulated forDBPs.
Quantified benefits estimates for the Stage 2 DBPR are based on reductions in fatal and non-fatal bladder cancer cases. EPA has projected that the rule will prevent approximately 280 bladder cancer cases per year. Of these cases, 26% are estimated to be fatal. Based on bladder cancer alone, the rule is estimated to provide annualized monetized benefit of $763 million to $1.5 billion. The rule applies to approximately 75,000 systems; a small subset of these (about 4%) will be required to make treatment changes. The mean cost of the rule is $79 million annually. Annual household cost increases in the subset of plants adding treatment are estimated at an average of $5.53, with 95 percent paying less than $22.40.
