Search 12 U.S.C. § 1701z-15 : US Code - Section 1701Z-15: Approval of individual residential water purification or treatment units

(a) In general
When the existing water supply does not meet the minimum property
standards established by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development and a permanent alternative acceptable water supply is
not available, a continuous supply of water may be provided through
the use of approved residential water treatment equipment or a
water purification unit that provides bacterially and chemically
safe drinking water.
(b) Approval process
A performance-based approval of the equipment or unit and the
maintenance, monitoring, and replacement plan for such equipment or
unit shall be certified by field offices of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development based upon general standards
recognized by the Department as modified for local or regional
conditions. As a part of such approved plan, a separate monthly
escrow account may be required to be established through the lender
to cover the cost of the approved yearly maintenance and monitoring
schedule and projected replacement of the equipment or unit.
