Non-public drinking water sources must meet which of the following standards?

  1. They must meet US Environmental Protection Agency standards

  2. They must meet National Primary Drinking Water Regulations

  3. They must meet local health department regulations

  4. They are exempt from any regulations

The correct answer is: They must meet National Primary Drinking Water Regulations

Non-public drinking water sources must meet standards set forth by the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWRs). These regulations are established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and are designed to ensure the safety and quality of drinking water. The NPDWRs outline specific maximum contaminant levels and treatment techniques that must be adhered to in order to protect public health. While the EPA does set general standards that could encompass some aspects of non-public drinking water sources, the key focus for these sources specifically lies in adherence to the NPDWRs. Local health department regulations may also be in place and can vary by jurisdiction, but they should not contradict the overarching federal standards established by the NPDWRs. Non-public sources are not exempt from regulation; in fact, they are required to comply with these national standards to ensure the safety of the water supplied to consumers.
