Safe Drinking Water Act

Course No. EN-6006

Credit: 6 PDH

Course Fee: $164.95 Purchase course

Mark R. Knarr, P.E.

Overview

The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) was established to protect the quality of drinking water in the U.S. This law focuses on all waters actually or potentially designed for drinking use, whether from above ground or underground sources.

The SDWA authorizes the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish minimum standards to protect tap water and requires all owners or operators of public water systems to comply with these primary (health-related) standards. Originally, the SDWA of 1974 focused primarily on treatment as the means of providing safe drinking water at the tap. The 1996 amendments greatly enhanced the existing law by recognizing source water protection, operator training, funding for water system improvements, and public information as important components of safe drinking water. This approach ensures the quality of drinking water by protecting it from source to tap.

State governments, which can be approved to implement these rules for EPA, also encourage attainment of secondary standards (nuisance-related). Under the Act, EPA also establishes minimum standards for state programs to protect underground sources of drinking water from endangerment by underground injection of fluids.

This course is intended for civil or environmental engineers involved with construction, repair, maintenance, or operation of public water systems. The focal content will be the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 40, which is the regulatory foundation for EPA and the States to enforce the Safe Drinking Water Act.

To earn PDH credits, the student must pass a quiz consisting of forty-five (45) multiple choice questions.
