Full Description

Large and small systems across the United States, regardless of population and geographical location, are susceptible to contamination. Today, unlike the past, we have a better understanding of how to protect our groundwater against contamination. With the help of public education, past practices that put groundwater contamination at risk are no longer allowed. Current regulations are protecting the future of our groundwater with programs such as wellhead protection and cross connection control. When safe drinking water regulations seem overwhelming, one should recall that they too could be the victim of contamination in their own water system. There are many agencies with the funding to help contaminated rural water systems in need of emergency financial assistance. Water operators that find their system contaminated can remember that workable solutions do exist, when one uses the available resources. This paper includes a case study of Trailer Village Mobile Home Park whose wells were contaminated with tetrachloroethylene (PCE).
