SDWA stands for Safe Drinking Water Act

The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) is a significant piece of United States federal legislation enacted in 1974 to ensure the quality and safety of the nation's drinking water supply. It mandates the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish and enforce standards for drinking water contaminants, aimed at protecting public health. The SDWA also supports state and local implementation of federal regulations, facilitating access to safe drinking water for all citizens.
