You would think that water, since it being a natural resource, would be automatically clean and in supply for everyone, or that's how it should be. This act has a very good goal of receiving water to people that meets the regulations of the Safe Drinking Water Act. This act should be one put into effect everywhere.
ReplyDeleteHi Ruthanne!
ReplyDeleteWow in my opinion, the goal should be 100% of people should be served clean drinking water. It's scary that the water only has to meet certain regulations to make it safe. Makes me think what are those regulations exactly.
