Today, the EPA released a plan that serves as a national call to action, urging all levels of government, utilities, community organizations, and other stakeholders to work together to increase the safety and reliability of drinking water.
The plan includes six priority areas:
1. Building capacity for water infrastructure financing and management in disadvantaged, small, and environmental justice communities...
2. Advancing oversight of the Safe Drinking Water Act
3. Strengthening source water protection and resilience of drinking water supplies
4. Addressing unregulated contaminants:
5. Improving transparency, public education, and risk communication on drinking water safety
6. Reducing lead risks
