TGIF! Weekly Water News Summary 25 - 31 January 2020

Another new book you should find interesting. Groundbreaking book by @RMartinNagle: 'Governance of Offshore Freshwater Resources' Is offshore pumping in the offing? 

The links below represent the week's water news as represented by my Tweets. I do not pretend that this survey is a comprehensive survey of the water news; it's my attempt to keep my readers informed to the best of my ability and available time.

Scroll down to 'Positions Open' and 'Previous Weeks' Positions Open' to see the jobs. All my individual job Tweets are archived at #JobWaWi. Previous weekly summaries are archived at:  #WaWiNews or click here.

Is It Safe? The Tale of American's Drinking Water Systems: G. Tracy Mehan III's Review of 'Troubled Water'

G. Tracy Mehan III, a frequent contributor to WaterWired, former assistant administrator for water at EPA in 2001-2003, executive director for government affairs at the American Water Works Association and adjunct professor at the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University, sent me the following email PDF of a review he wrote of Seth M. Siegel's Troubled Water: What's Wrong with What We Drink book.

It will appear in the March/April 2020 issue of The Environmental Forum and its publisher, the Environmental Law Institute.

Download GTMIII_Is_It_Safe_Review_Troubled_Water

The firsrt few paragraphs:

Martin Doyle, director of the Water Program at Duke’s Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions, recently observed, “Being able to blithely  drink water from just about any faucet in the United States without concern is one of the greatest achievements of American Society.” The report from the 2019 Aspen- Nicholas Water Forum, titled “Ensuring Water Quality: Innovating on the Clean Water & Safe Drinking Water Acts for the 21st Century,” notes that “The [Safe Drinking Water Act] has achieved remarkable improvements in drinking water quality with more than 90% of community water systems achieving all water quality standards all of the time.” Noting that there are still numerous challenges, and that the law’s effectiveness has “plateaued,” the report recognizes that “this is an incredible accomplishment.”

Even as the crisis in Flint, Michigan, spotlighted the remaining legacy issues with the 6.1 to 10 million lead service lines still existent, the EPA states in its proposed revisions to its Lead and Copper Rule that “the United States has made tremendous progress in lowering children’s blood levels.” Specifically, “the median concentration of lead in the blood of children aged 1 to 5 years dropped from 15 micrograms per deciliter in 1976-1980 to 0.7 micrograms per deciliter in 2013-2014, a decrease of 95 percent.”

The last two paragraphs: 

As this reviewer has often argued, raising water rates to maintain the system is often viewed by an elected official as a tax increase, root canal in political terms. Whether it be an independent water authority (Denver), a separate corporation owned by the city (Louisville) or a private, investor-owned utility, anything that creates distance from the electoral cycle will improve utility management and finance. Washington, D.C.’s water and wastewater utility improved immensely since becoming a separate authority. Yet, as Siegel points out, “De-linking water utilities from mayoral politics, though, need not lead to unaccountability.” City or county elected officials can reserve the right to appoint the board members or commissioners, ideally for fixed terms. 

Regulation is hard work. There are no shortcuts. Data, science, technology, and economics are all part of the mix and need to be brought to bear on the challenges of determining actual risks to human health and what to do about them so that benefits exceed the costs. Otherwise, regulators will practice precaution without principle.

Enjoy!
