Nevada tribe to build arsenic water treatment plant


The Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe of Nevada has obtained enough funds to build a $1 million arsenic water treatment plant.

The tribe considered running its water through the city of Fallon's new plant but went with its own due to concerns over rate increases.

The Environmental Protection Agency's arsenic in water standard will drop to ten parts per billion by 2006. Some municipalities say complying with the new standard will raise the cost of water service.
