This article advocates greater involvement by the water utility industry in two major areas of water quality and monitoring. Detailed water analyses should be available to customers on an annual basis, which may mean expanded monitoring on the part of the utility for normal characteristics as well as for trace organics and manmade contaminants. In addition, the responsibility for research on health effects and treatment concepts should rest with the industry rather than with agencies of the federal government.
