The goal of filtration in the modem municipal treatment plant is a maximum of 0.1 ntu (nephelometric turbidity unit), which ensures a sparkling, clear water (8). Freedom from disease organisms is associated with freedom from turbidity, and complete freedom from taste and odor requites no less than such clarity. The National Interim Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NIPDWR) requite that the maximum contaminant level for turbidity at the point of entry into the distribution system be 1.0 ntu unless it can be shown that levels up to 5 ntu do not interfere with disinfection, interfere with the maintenance of a chlorine residual in the distribution system, nor interfere with bacteriological analyses. 

A National Primary Drinking Water Regulation (NPDWR or primary standard) is a legally-enforceable standard that applies to public water systems. Primary standards protect drinking water quality by limiting the levels of specific contaminants that can adversely affect public health and are known or anticipated to occur in water. They take the form of Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL) or Treatment Techniques (TT). 

A National Secondary Drinking Water Regulation (NSDWR or secondary standard) is a non-enforceable guideline regarding contaminants that may cause cosmetic effects (such as skin or tooth discoloration) or aesthetic effects (such as taste, odor, or color) in drinking water. EPA recommends secondary standards to water systems but does not require systems to comply. However, states may choose to adopt them as enforceable standards. This information focuses on national primary standards.
