Amends title XIV (Safety of Public Water Systems) of the Public Health Service Act to authorize a State with primary enforcement responsibility for drinking water standards to grant variances from turbidity requirements to public water systems within their jurisdictions upon a finding that due to compelling factors, including economic factors, the public system is unable to comply with such requirements with respect to not more than one percent of the users of such system and such variance will not result in an unreasonable health risk.
