WaterNews for December 22, 1998

WaterNews is a weekly on-line publication that announces publications, policies, and activities of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Water.

Inside this week's WaterNews:

1) Drinking Water Information Available on the Internet
2) Holiday Message

1) Drinking Water Information Available on the Internet

Consumers have a new way to tap into important information about their drinking water. EPA's Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water has developed a website that provides easy public access to local drinking water information. This site offers statistics about water suppliers' compliance with EPA and state rules (Envirofacts/SDWIS), links to state plans for using federally provided drinking water funds, annual state and national compliance reports, and contacts for state drinking water and drinking water source protection programs. The site also will link to water systems' consumer confidence reports as they become available online in 1999.

To find out more about your drinking water, visit EPA's Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water website at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/dwinfo.htm.
