BECKLEY AP Increased funding from the Legislature and the federal government is helping to provide better service to small water systems across West Virginia. Don Kuntz, director of the Environmental Engineering Division, says the money allows hiring more engineers for district offices to guide small systems through federal red tape. He notes regulations have become too voluminous and complex for even the agency to fully understand. The article cites a shift from monitoring 23 contaminants to more stringent standards.
Engineering Division notes that most small water companies cannot afford to hire a professional engineer to prepare these kinds of reports. The comment highlights cost barriers and resource limits affecting technical assessments.
Kuntz notes smaller water systems lack funds for professional reports and upgrades. Legislature adds 440000 to the program and imposes a one cent per thousand gallon tax, costing the average customer about 50 cents yearly.
