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.
