On the recordJuly 16, 1998
Yes, I would be happy to. The DWSRF is to be used to assist pubiic water systems to finance infrastructure projects needed to comply with federal drinking water regulations. Public water systems that regularly serve at least 25 year-round residents or have a least 15 service connections qualify for assistance. The DWSRF may be used if it will significantly further the public health objectives of the Act. We recognize that there are a few communities that are currently serviced by wells that are contaminated, and the best way to solve the existing public health problems intended to be addressed by the Act may be to create a federally regulated public water system.
