Point of Use (POU) or Point of Entry (POE) (PDF) treatment may be an option for public water supply systems where centralized treatment is not economically feasible. This policy document is intended to assist systems and their engineering consultants in evaluating POU/POE treatment as an alternative to more traditional centralized treatment. As is the case in all facets of public water supply, the health and safety of the ultimate consumers of publicly supplied water is paramount, and thus is the focus of this document. Please email Dan Clair, Chief, Engineering and Permits Unit, or call at 785-296-5516 with questions pertaining to the POU/POE policy.
