A bill to amend title XIV of the Public Health Service Act to authorize States with primary enforcement responsibility for drinking water standards to grant variances from turbidity requirements for certain public water systems.

Amends the drinking water provisions of the Public Health Service Act to authorize a State with primary enforcement responsibility for drinking water standards to grant variances from turbidity requirements to public water systems within their jurisdictions upon a finding that due to compelling factors, including economic factors, the public system is unable to comply with such requirements with respect to not more than one percent of the users of such system and the granting of such variance will not result in an unreasonable risk to health.
