Abstract
The US Environmental Protection Agency's secondary maximum contaminant levels should be reviewed and updated to better reflect current understanding of aesthetics issues.
Sensory methods are an essential component of effective water quality aesthetics management.
Even small systems with little experience can implement sensory testing, such as the Attribute Rating Test, to make informed treatment decisions.
