| Message | The system we have now is unnecessarily complex. Ultimately, all the regulation is doing is to make water drinkable. Why do we not just make that the regulation directly? |

| Message | Because this way...it costs less |

| Message | The proposed way costs less to regulate. It is a simple binary question: drinkable or not? |

| Message | What we hvae currently makes sure it is drinkable. What you are proposing is the polar opposite. It is forcing water companies to meet one standard. That is going to cost way more than what it is currently. |
