This guidance manual is intended to help public water systems (PWSs) comply with the disinfection profiling and benchmarking requirements of the Long Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT1ESWTR). The requirements of the LT1ESWTR apply to PWSs that: Serve fewer than 10,000 people; and, are classified as either surface water or ground water under the direct influence of surface water (GWUDI). This manual explains disinfection profiling and benchmarking, discusses when and why they are necessary, and provides guidance as to how to compile a disinfection profile and how to calculate the benchmark. This guidance manual also discusses how systems and States may use these data to make decisions about disinfection practices.
