Bush Administration Adopts Tougher Arsenic Water Rules

Wednesday October 31 09:24 PM EST

The Bush Administration has reversed course and now says it will adopt new arsenic standards for drinking water originally proposed by the Clinton Administration.

The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing lowering the amount of arsenic allowed in drinking water, from 50 to 5 parts per billion. EPA Secretary Christie Whitman says the new rule will help protect against the risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes.

Arsenic naturally occurs in the Albuquerque water supply. It measures near 13 parts per billion.

City officials say if Albuquerque is forced to take the arsenic out of the water we could be the hardest hit utility in the country. It could cost Albuquerque $250 million to make its water clear the new federal standards and an estimated $400 million for all communities in New Mexico.

The City says if the feds hold Albuquerque to the new arsenic standards water bills could double.
