RE: seeking comment on water report
Hi Jon,
On the record: "EPA sets limits for radionuclides, including radium, in public drinking water through the Safe Drinking Water Act. Local water suppliers must follow these limits and are required to inform citizens about the level of radionuclides in their water." - EPA spokesperson
On background: More than 300 million people depend on 50,000 community water systems across the country for safe, reliable water every day. Over 91 percent of the population receives drinking water from community water systems that meet all health-based standards.
Off-the-record: The rule has not been updated since 2000, for more information please visit: https://www.epa.gov/dwreginfo/radionuclides-rule.

Subject: seeking comment on water report
hi Enesta,
Is EPA responding to this report today on radioactivity in drinking water by Environmental Working Group? It says EPA's health standard of 5 picocuries per liter of drinking water for radium 226 and 228 combined is "inadequate" to protect public health. Can you comment on that?
My deadline is 5 pm this evening.
thanks
