PART 214--EMERGENCY SUPPLIES OF DRINKING WATER--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 214.5  Policy.

    Emergency work under this authority will be applied to situations in 
which the source of water has become contaminated. The contamination may 
be accidental, deliberate, or caused by natural events. The maximum 
contaminent levels in drinking water are set forth by the Environmental 
Protection Agency pursuant to Pub. L. 93-523. However, loss of the water 
source or supply due to any cause is not included in the language of 
Section 82(2), Pub. L. 93-251, and furnishing emergency supplies by the 
Corps of Engineers under those situations was not intended by this 
legislation. Approval of measures to furnish clean drinking water will 
be pursuant to this regulation, and in accordance with procedures 
outlined in ER 500-1-1 by HQDA (DAEN-CWO-E) WASH DC 20314. DAEN-CWO-E 
will be notified by telephone when the emergency water situation becomes 
known.
