The first session of the 103rd Congress is over, and the second and final session is under way. Several bills have been introduced in the US Congress to reauthorize the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), and more are expected. Views differ significantly on many issues, which is resulting in an intense political battle. In theory, anything and everything in the act could be changed. In reality, only changes that survive the political process will be made. An overview of SDWA reauthorization is presented in this article, and the issues involved are reviewed.
