| Abstract | In 1974, Congress enacted a program to ensure that drinking water in the U.S. was safe. In 1986, Congress updated this program to set mandatory guidelines for regulating key contaminants, require the monitoring of unregulated contaminants, establish benchmarks for treatment technologies, bolster enforcement, and promote protection of ground water resources. This comprehensive program is the subject of this pamphlet. |
