Abstract: A fee basis program for emergency response to accidental or intentional contamination of a water supply includes supplying equipment designed to treat contaminated water and restore it to desired levels of usability. The program also includes provisions for training of crews, determination of optimum numbers of treatment units, deployment of the equipment, and response times. Included in the program is a fee schedule for acquisition and use of the treatment units and a monitoring function tabulating the use of each unit.
