Abstract
The Safe Drinking Water Act, P. L. 93-523, was passed by Congress to ensure that water supplied to the public is safe to drink. Under this Law suppliers of water have important responsibilities. In most cases it is the States' job to administer the drinking water programs and make sure that these responsibilities are met. However, if a State can't or doesn't choose to, and in special cases such as those that exist on Indian lands and interstate carrier conveyances, the Federal Government--the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)--has responsibility for implementing the Law.
