We all want safe and good quality drinking water for a reasonable price. The THM regulation started the process of serious treatment of drinking water, but some people have gone too far. It has generated a cottage industry of analytical and treatment studies. As my paper showed, it is not clear that there is any adverse effect of THMs. We do know that whatever the water quality entering distribution, it arrives at the tap in poorer shape. Distribution is where we should be spending money.
