This principal display shows
schematically a coal-fired gene
rating plant, with a taped mess
age explaining how electricity is
made in such a plant. Byunusual
lighting techniques, this same
exhibit changes from a conven
tional plant to one with a nuclear
reactor for its heat source. Then
the point is made:
The only operating difference
between a coal-fired generating
plant and a nuclear-fueled ge
nerating plant is the heat sour-

New Water Supply Rules In Georgia
For the first time in Georgia’s
history, all public water supply
systems will be required by reg=
ulations to obtain a certificate of
operation from the State Health
Department, The regulations co=
ver all types of public water
systems, both ground and surface
supplied which serve from two
housing units to Ilarge cities,
This new public health meas
ure which will become law within
45 days is part of the recently
revised regulations governing
public water supply sources ad=
opted by the State Board of Health,
Also included in the regulations
are specific requirements for
the installations and maintenance
of the systems and the require
ment that all systems are to
chlorinate their water at all
times, The chlorination require=-
ment--another first for the state
-=is a health safety factor to help
prevent contamination of drinking
water while it is on its way from
the water plant to the customer’s
home,
Prior to the adoption of the re
vised regulations by the Health
Board, there were no state-wide
standards for the many water
systems, and the State Health
Department had little or no en
forcement powers=--only an ¢‘ad
visory service,”’
Some local governments had
their own regulations for water
systems intheir community while
others had no regulations, This
situation causeda wide difference

in the quality and chemical con=-
tent of the water supplies in the
state, Under the new regulations,
all systems will have to meet st=
ate-wide standards,
The new regulations will also
have the secondary effect of
locating some public water supply
systems in the state which the
State Health Department did not
know existed, There were no
previous state laws which re=
quired systems to register with
the health department, Many
small systems, including some
mobile home developments, have
gone along without the depart
ment knowing they existed.
Records indicate that, at pre
sent, the State Health Depart
ment knows of some 1,300 public
water supply systems in Georgia,
Constant quality and bacteria
tests are run by the department’s
central laboratory in Atlanta on
water samples sent in from these
systems, With the discovery
of the ‘‘unknown’” systems, the
department will also be able to
run similar tests on them, The
department processed over 160,-
000 tests last year in addition to
those handled by supply systems
in the state who run their own
tests,
Health department officials can
give no estimate on the number
of ¢‘unknown’’ systems whichwill
turn up in the near future. How
ever, anall-out county=by-county
survey will be conducted by health
officials to locate and certify all
systems,
Commenting on the new reg
ulations, Health Board chairman
Dr, B, W, Forester of Macon
said that, ‘‘these revisions were
very necessary so that all of Ge=
orgia’s public water supply sys=
tems could be constantly checked
for any potential health hazard,’’
Dr, Forester pointed out that
Georgia’s growing population,
especially in suburbanareas, has
created many small public water
supply systems, And added that
the upsurge of mobile home deve
lopments has also compounded
