What Does GWTR Stand For?

GWTR stands for Ground Water Treatment Rule

The Ground Water Treatment Rule (GWTR) is a regulatory framework established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designed to ensure the safety of drinking water sourced from groundwater. Implemented to address potential microbial contaminants, the GWTR sets forth treatment requirements for public water systems that rely on groundwater. The rule aims to enhance public health protection by establishing standards for water quality, treatment processes, and monitoring to minimize risks associated with pathogens and improve overall water safety.
