AWWA JAW3873

In estimating costs for the organics regulations the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed capital and operations and maintenance costs designs for a series of unit processes and presented them as a function of a given design parameter. These costs may be categorized as those associated with control of trihalomethanes and those associated with the installation of granular activated carbon for control of synthetic organics in finished drinking water supplies. The resulting cost increases are estimated at 5 percent for the former and 25 percent for the latter. Also covered are alternative disinfection methods and costs such as ozone, chlorine dioxide, and operation and maintenance costs. Includes 11 references, tables, figures.
