Arsenic regulation not affected by EPA proposal
While EPA has proposed to revise the method by which drinking water regulations are deemed affordable for small communities, the proposed revisions would not affect current regulations, like the 10 part per billion (ppb) arsenic standard.
Future regulations would be impacted by any changes to this "affordability methodology." More information can be found on EPA's website - http://www.epa.gov/safewater/smallsys/affordability.html - including a link to provide comment on the proposal.
EPA is committed to protecting the public from exposure to arsenic in drinking water. Resources can be found at this URL - http://www.epa.gov/safewater/arsenic - including information on sources of funding for small communities.
