The Story of a Crucial Law to Protect Public Health

Every time you turn on your tap and drink some fresh, delicious water, you can thank the Safe Drinking Water Act!

For 50 years, this landmark federal legislation has been a key driving force safeguarding the quality of potable water that is so essential to daily life across the U.S. Administered through science-based EPA regulations, SDWA set stringent and clear standards which all water utilities and systems, of all sizes, including BSU, are required to meet.

SDWA has kept up with changing times and evolving science. It has been updated several times to address emerging threats to our drinking water, as well as new opportunities to tackle water quality challenges.
