Abstract
The 1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) recognize that the affordability of drinking water may be an issue for some water systems, especially small systems. The Amendments provide State drinking water programs with important new tools to help address affordability concerns. The statute requires that EPA develop this information in consultation with States and the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In order to fulfill this mandate and to ensure consideration of all key stakeholder ideas, EPA, through its National Drinking Water Advisory Council (NDWAC), established a broad based working group, whose members included States and RUS, to guide development of this information document. This document reflects the thorough review by both the working group and NDWAC, as well as public comment solicited through a Federal register notice (62FR62308 (November 21, 1997)).
