The Department of Environmental Protection invites comments on a draft technical guidance on Pennsylvania’s Public Water System Capability Enhancement Strategy (DEP ID: 391-0400-001).  (formal notice)

The purpose of this document is to establish a methodology to implement, track and allocate appropriate resources needed to meet the Federal requirements for a State capacity development strategy for all public water systems.

This document provides guidance to all community, nontransient noncommunity, and transient noncommunity drinking water systems, as well as Department staff on the guidelines and implementation of the Commonwealth's Public Water System Capability Enhancement Program.

Substantive revisions are proposed to the guidance to facilitate more effective use of grant funds from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency by incorporating principles for long-term sustainability.
