使用点处理作为一种按照联邦法规向怀俄明州谢里丹市未经过滤的输水干管提供水的方法进行了评估。该研究回顾了与使用点处理和浊度去除使用点技术和设备相关的当前监管要求。为了评估使用点装置提供可靠且经济的方式来满足监管要求的潜力，进行了一次试点试验。试验表明，使用点处理不是向水处理厂上游谢里登市政系统的水龙头提供饮用水的可行方式。包括11个参考文献、表格、图表。

Point-of-use treatment was evaluated as a method for providing water in compliance with federal regulations to consumers served by unfiltered transmission mains in Sheridan, Wyoming. The study reviewed current regulatory requirements relative to point-of-use treatment and point-of-use technologies and equipment for turbidity removal. A pilottest was conducted to evaluate the potential of point-of-use devices to provide a reliable and economical means of meeting regulatory requirements indicated that point-of-use treatment is not a feasible means of providing potable water to taps on the Sheridan municipal system upstream of the water treatment plant.
