Demonstration Program

Under EPA’s Arsenic Removal Technology Demonstration Program, full-scale demonstrations of commercially ready treatment technologies are conducted at selected public water supplies across the United States. Initially, the program was divided into two rounds of demonstrations: 12 locations were selected for funding for Round 1 and 28 locations were selected for funding for Round 2. Now, Round 2a is under way at 10 locations.

Click on any EPA region number on the map below to see a list of demonstration locations in that region. EPA encourages you to visit these locations to increase your understanding of the cost and effectiveness of various arsenic removal technologies. Details about the demonstration locations, technologies, and project statuses for Round 1 and Round 2 are also available.

Locations of Round 1 and 2 demonstrations and the specific EPA regions in which they're found.

EPA funds the following at each demonstration location:

Technology and system
Engineering and permitting
Installation
System operation for one year
Performance study costs

The utility at each demonstration location funds the following:

New facilities
Waste disposal system
Operators

Performance and cost information resulting from the arsenic removal demonstrations is used by engineering firms, small water systems, and state agencies to make informed decisions on the application of arsenic treatment technologies.

To further assist states and water utility operators in meeting the new arsenic standard, EPA provides training and technical assistance materials such as software, design manuals, and Web casts. These items offer practical information for states and operators as they move into compliance with the new Arsenic Rule.
