Abstract: The U.S. EPA granted Denver Water a SDWA 1415(a)(3) variance from the definition of optimal corrosion control treatment in 40 CFR 141.2. The Variance contains requirements to determine the efficacy of the filter program. EPA will use the survey results that Denver Water annually distributes, to determine the consumer filter adoption rate, and to confirm whether customers are using and maintaining the filters correctly, and per manufacturers instructions.
