This symposium paper discusses the need for a water quality standard as a reference against which water supplies can be measured and as a goal for individual water supply improvement. The paper suggests parameters that might be used as a starting point in developing a quality standard. Characteristics recommended by the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) for compliance in a quality standard as well as a safe water standard are provided.
