What Does NSDWR Stand For?

NSDWR stands for National Secondary Drinking Water Regulations

NSDWR stands for National Secondary Drinking Water Regulations. These regulations establish non-mandatory guidelines for drinking water standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to address aesthetic concerns such as color, taste, and odor in public water systems. While not enforceable, adherence to NSDWR aims to improve the overall quality of drinking water and protect public health by encouraging water utilities to manage and reduce contaminants that may affect the acceptability of water for consumers.
