SWTR sets forth primary drinking water regulations requiring treatment of surface water supplies or groundwater supplies under the direct influence of surface water.

a. Require filtration, and/or disinfection (to satisfy the MCLs for turbidity and microorganisms)

b. Turbidity limit (should be less than 0.5 NTU in 95% samples for direct filtration (may vary from state to state and when different filtration is used)

c. Disinfection (99.9 or 3-log removal for giardia or 99.99% or 4-log removal for viruses for filtered or unfiltered water systems)
