Well, I think that's the only sensible approach to something like this. That's what the expert panel was concerned about. You can't just pass regulations and say, “After this date you're in violation and you're going to jail.” But at the risk of sounding like a broken record, one of the advantages of a drinking water safety plan approach is that if you put that as your overriding approach to solving the problem, it maps what your source water issues are, what your capabilities for dealing with those challenges are, what your personnel challenges are. It requires you to put your mind to all of these issues, and at that point it should reveal where the gaps and deficiencies are.
I guess I would prefer, as a taxpayer, to see funds invested, with the knowledge that can be gained from a drinking water safety plan, rather that some kind of arbitrary list of “You're next.”
