The new turbidity requirements and benchmarking requirements in the Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (IESWTR) will do a good job in helping operators to balance both the microbial and DBP risks for their plants. In addition, the individual filter requirements will allow operators to focus more on individual filter operation and performance, which will result in a higher quality and more consistent filtered water.
