This article by the director of the state of Washington's drinking water program, Department of Social and Health Services, was prompted by a letter in the September J ournal (76: 9: 4) from Jack B. Doty of the Skagit County Public Utility District, Mount Vernon, Wash. Doty opposes AWWA's support for the filtration of surface water supplies, but Pluntze enumerates the many current and potential problems that can occur from the use of unfiltered surface water supplies.
