Components and Chemical Additive Certification Requirements

The state requires that all chemicals added to drinking water and all system components that come in contact with drinking water be certified under ANSI/NSF Standards 60 and 61. These standards ensure that there are no harmful chemicals inadvertently added to the drinking water supply. Please note: Links on this page will open in a new browser window.
