The parametric value for total THMs from five years after the entry into force of this Directive until 10 years after its entry into force is 150 μg/l.\nMember States must ensure that all appropriate measures are taken to reduce the concentration of THMs in water intended for human consumption as much as possible during the period needed to achieve compliance with the parametric value.\nWhen implementing the measures to achieve this value, Member States must progressively give priority to those areas where THM concentrations in water intended for human consumption are highest.",
