Proposed Project
Evaluation of Efficacy of Household
Water Filtration/Treatment Devices in
Households with Private Wells (OMB
No. 0920–0670)—Extension—National
Center for Environmental Health
(NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Approximately 42.4 million people in
the United States are served by private
wells. Unlike community water systems,
private wells are not regulated by the
U.S Environmental Protection Agency’s
(EPA) Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA).
Under the SDWA, EPA sets maximum
contaminant levels (MCLs) for
contaminants in drinking water. A 1997
U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO)
report on drinking water concluded that
users of private wells may face higher
exposure levels to groundwater
contaminants than users of community
water systems. Increasingly, the public
is concerned about drinking water
quality, and the public’s use of water
treatment devices rose from 27% in
1995 to 41% in 2001 (Water Quality
Association, 2001 National Consumer
Water Quality Survey). Studies
evaluating the efficacy of water
treatment devices on removal of
pathogens and other contaminants have
assessed the efficacy of different
treatment technologies.
The purpose of the proposed study is
to evaluate how water treatment device
efficacy is affected by user behaviors
such as maintenance and selection of
appropriate technologies. Working with
public health authorities in Colorado,
Maine, Missouri, Nebraska, North
Carolina, and Wisconsin, NCEH will
recruit 600 households to participate in
a study to determine whether people
using water treatment devices are
protected from exposure to
contaminants found in their well water.
We plan to recruit households on
private well water that use water
filtration/treatment devices to treat tap
