40 C.F.R. § 143.1
Purpose
This subpart establishes National Secondary Drinking Water Regulations pursuant to section 1412 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 300g-1). The regulations in this subpart control contaminants in drinking water that primarily affect the aesthetic qualities relating to the public acceptance of drinking water. At considerably higher concentrations of these contaminants, health implications may also exist as well as aesthetic degradation. The regulations in this subpart are not Federally enforceable but are intended as guidelines for the States.
