The Rural Community Assistance Partnership (RCAP), in collaboration with the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA), recently published a guide to help small communities, technical assistance providers and stakeholders identify non-treatment and treatment alternatives for emerging contaminants.
RCAP said the guide is intended to help stakeholders make informed and suitable local decisions on alternatives for emerging contaminants, like PFAS, and determine when more innovative technologies may be needed. According to the group, some treatment techniques that are already considered the best available technologies and commonly implemented in large water systems may still be new and challenging to deploy in a small water system.
This guide, RCAP said, is intended to help those smaller systems consider more complex treatment technologies than what is currently in use by at that particular system, and walks through the decision making process.
The complete guide can be found here.
