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. Under the Variance, Denver Water must conduct a survey in 2023 and every other program year of randomly selected customers enrolled in the filter program to receive a minimum of responses from remaining program participants that is consistent with a 95% confidence level and 3% margin of error. The survey must inquire whether the customer has used the filter for: water to make infant formula (if applicable); cooking and drinking; or is using bottled water or a filter device that is certified NSF/ANSI (53) for lead removal but was not provided by Denver Water for infant formula, cooking and drinking. Surveys can be conducted in writing by mail or verbally using the same survey questions so long as responses are documented.
