How is Chlorine Monitored in Public Water Systems?
Public water systems are required to monitor chlorine levels to ensure they are within safe limits set by regulatory bodies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA sets a maximum residual disinfectant level (MRDL) for chlorine in drinking water to balance its effectiveness in killing pathogens and minimizing potential health risks. Regular testing and monitoring are essential to maintain water quality and public safety.
