Group launches campaign to commemorate Safe Drinking Water Act anniversary

The Water & Health Advisory Council (the council), a multidisciplinary group of drinking water experts, recently announced the launch of a national campaign to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Safe Drinking Water Act and provide guidance to lawmakers on the future of drinking water safety in the United States.

The campaign will showcase public health successes achieved by the Safe Drinking Water Act and illuminate regulatory actions that have veered from the law's original intent. Throughout 2024, the council will promote multimedia testimonials from drinking water, public health and elected officials; host local events in select municipalities and conclude with a symposium at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
