Deployment of Innovative Water Technologies for Very Small Drinking Water Systems, Areas Served by Private Wells and Source Waters

The Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA) has recently been awarded a research project by EPA’s Office of Research and Development (ORD) - Innovation Applied: Streamlining Access and Approvals of Technologies for Small Systems and Private Wells. The primary objective of this project is to develop and validate programmatic approaches through research and technical assistance for obtaining approval for new or alternative technologies for very small water systems in a state, and how to ensure that, or to the greatest extent possible with technical assistance, approvals could transfer from state to state without compromising public health protection.

ASDWA is the principal investigator on this project and is partnering with the Water Research Foundation (WRF), the Rural Community Assistance Partnership (RCAP), and the University of Massachusetts-Amherst (UMass).
