Title: Cryptosporidia, E. coli and Turbidity LT2ESWTR Laboratory Reporting Instructions for Public Water Systems Using Surface Water or Groundwater Under the Direct Influence of Surface Water Sources. Description: The Department Water Management Deputate, Bureau of Safe Drinking Water, has made minor revisions to a guidance document relating to reporting requirements regarding the Long-Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR). The LT2ESWTR, as set forth in 25 Pa. Code §§ 109.1201—109.1206, describes, among other things, source water quality monitoring and additional treatment requirements for higher risk water systems. The purpose of the LT2ESWTR is to enhance public health protection against pathogenic microbial contaminants, especially Cryptosporidia. Final technical guidance became available June 3, 2017 (47 Pa.B. 3153). Minor corrections to the guidance document are necessary and are as follows: 1) The wording in item 6 of the DWELR Data Field on the SDWA-1 Form Description/Explanation table on page 15 of the document was changed by replacing ''3'' with ''0'' to read as follows: ''Location ID 1 Note: DEP or CHD assigned source ID numbers, which always begin with ''0'', must be entered in this field (e.g. 001)''; 2) Appendices I and II, which contained contact lists, were removed from the document. The contact lists in the appendices were updated and replaced with an online link. Appendices III and IV became Appendices I and II, respectively; 3) e-Library links were updated throughout the document; 4) Due to these revisions, the total number of document pages was reduced to 28 pages.
