During two meetings of national water associations in April in Washington, D.C., Peter Grevatt ‐ director of the US Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Groundwater and Drinking Water ‐ mentioned storage tanks as one of the two sort of new important issues from USEPA's perspective (a later column will discuss the second issue and ‐ spoiler alert ‐ it's Legionella). Storage tanks have been on the regulatory radar for a while, but given this recent mention, tanks may (or may not) have become more of a priority for some sort of regulatory action. But it's still not completely clear whether a storage tank regulation is in the future.
