Description:

2024 is the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). This law created the first every nationwide standard for safe drinking water in the United States. The scope and level drinking water regulations adopted under the SDWA have continually expanded since the SDWA went into effect in 1977. Ever since then, water systems have faced the challenges of meeting these new more stringent drinking water requirements.
