The Safe Drinking Water Act, originally signed into law in 1974, empowers the EPA to set national health standards for drinking water and mandates that public water systems publish annual reports, known as Consumer Confidence Reports, to inform consumers about the quality of their tap water. This ensures that residents are well-informed about their water sources, detected contaminants, potential health effects, and the measures taken to maintain water safety.
