About Ground Water & Drinking Water

The Branch directs the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) Region 5 ground water and water supply programs within the broad guidelines and policy established by U.S. EPA Headquarters, the Regional Administrator, the Water Division Director, and the Branch Chief. The Branch serves as the Regional focal point for all matters relating to the safety of drinking water, the reliability of water supply systems, and implementation of the Ground Water and Public Water System Supervision program portions of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA).
