I would imagine some of this is due to regulation or over regulation depending on the way you see it. I am chairman of our local water authority here in Pa. Just this year we were advised of additional regulations which will cost us money and our customers bills to increase.Our water has always met the state standards so we are not sure why these additional measures are being required.So for smaller water systems like they have in many of these forest service campgrounds to meet these new standards could take time to implement even if funds are available.
