Note: D/DBPR, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule; MCL, maximum contaminant level; PWS, public water system; THM4, trihalomethane-4.
PWS with THM4 mean concentrations were assumed to reduce their concentrations to achieve compliance with the MCL over time and included in the range bin with the average concentration for systems in that bin.
