MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The state Department of Natural Resources board is poised to order the agency to draft new water quality standards for a host of pollutants. The changes would mark the first time in a decade that regulators have amended Wisconsin’s water quality standards. The moves could force municipal and private water systems to spend tens of millions to conduct more testing and upgrade pollution-control equipment.

The DNR has proposed creating standards for 16 substances that are currently unregulated in groundwater.
