May 23, 2023· Comment submitted by New York Section of the American Water Works Association (NYSAWWA)· EPA-HQ-OW-2022-0260-0059

See attached for full comments. The New York Section of the American Water Works Association (NYSAWWA) appreciates the opportunity to comment as the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) considers updates to the Consumer Confidence Report Rule. The NYSAWWA represents New York State public drinking water utilities who provide drinking water to more than 15 million New Yorkers and through our Water Utility Council (WUC) provide comment and advocacy on issues important to the water community. Our members are committed to the unfailing operation of drinking water systems to protect public health and the environment. This letter provides comment on numerous aspects of the rule, all of which we believe are essential for EPA to address. Specifically, we want to call attention to the following key components of the proposed updates to the Consumer Confidence Report Rule: - Readability and Clarity of the CCR - "Don't say safe" rule provisions should be removed - Procedural provisions require EPA's immediate action - Biannual delivery requires clarification

Abstract

The America’s Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) of 2018 was enacted on October 23, 2018. Section 2008 Improved Consumer Confidence Reports amended the Safe Drinking Water Act Section 1414(c)(4) to revise requirements for Consumer Confidence Reports (CCR). The amendments to Section 1414(c)(4) requires EPA to: (1) Revise CCR content requirements to increase the readability, clarity, and understandability of the information presented in consumer confidence reports; increase the accuracy of information presented, and risk communication, in consumer confidence reports; identify any lead action level exceedances for which corrective action has been required; and include information on corrosion control efforts. (2) Update delivery timing and methods to require community water systems that serve 10,000 or more persons to provide reports biannually; and allow electronic delivery methods consistent with the ‘Safe Drinking Water Act–Consumer Confidence Report Rule Delivery Options’ issued by the EPA on January 3, 2013. The amendments require the EPA to consult with public water systems, environmental groups, public interest groups, risk communication experts, the states, and other interested parties during the revision process.
