or both, to residents of a rural area that was
recognized as a colonia as of October 1, 1989.
(b) Loans and grants to individuals
(1) In general
The Secretary shall make or insure loans
and make grants to individuals who reside in
a community described in subsection (a)(1) for
the purpose of extending water supply and
waste disposal systems, connecting the sys-
tems to the residences of the individuals, or
installing plumbing and fixtures within the
residences of the individuals to facilitate the
use of the water supply and waste disposal sys-
tems. Such loans shall be at a rate of interest

For purposes of this subchapter:
(1) The term “primary drinking water regulation” means a regulation which—
(A) applies to public water systems;
(B) specifies contaminants which, in the judgment of the Administrator, may have any adverse effect on the health of persons;
(C) specifies for each such contaminant either—
(i) a maximum contaminant level, if, in the judgment of the Administrator, it is economically and technologically feasible to ascertain the level of such contaminant in water in public water systems, or
(ii) if, in the judgment of the Administrator, it is not economically or technologically feasible to so ascertain the level of such contaminant, each treatment technique known to the Administrator which leads to a reduction in the level of such contaminant sufficient to satisfy the requirements of [section 300g–1 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section300g-1&num=0&edition=prelim); and
(D) contains criteria and procedures to assure a supply of drinking water which dependably complies with such maximum contaminant levels; including accepted methods for quality control and testing procedures to insure compliance with such levels and to insure proper operation and maintenance of the system, and requirements as to (i) the minimum quality of water which may be taken into the system and (ii) siting for new facilities for public water systems.
At any time after promulgation of a regulation referred to in this paragraph, the Administrator may add equally effective quality control and testing procedures by guidance published in the Federal Register. Such procedures shall be treated as an alternative for public water systems to the quality control and testing procedures listed in the regulatio
