The remainder of the regulations deal with the following aspects: concentration of fluorides in water, water unfit because of danger to public health, water disinfection, drinking water sources, flushing and disinfection of water systems, water standing in reservoirs, testing methods, drinking water from dual-purpose recharge wells. A series of appendices list maximum allowable concentrations of toxic substances, fluoride concentrations, water characteristics, frequency of sampling according to population, etc.
