EPA Releases Safe Drinking Water Act Dashboard

April 17, 2015
The website allows users to track the compliance status of public water systems

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Dashboard, a user-friendly website that presents data about violations and the compliance status of public water systems.

The dashboard contains interactive charts and graphs that provide information regarding the compliance of public water systems with federal drinking water regulations, as well as enforcement actions. The SDWA Dashboard provides an overview of the SDWA regulatory activities of EPA and the implementing states, tribes and territories.

The dashboard provides a summary of key activities to answer questions like: which public water systems are regulated, how many public water systems have been inspected, how many systems have had alleged violations identified and enforcement action taken, and how many systems have returned to compliance.
