What is the Public Law number associated with the Safe Drinking Water Act?

• A. PL 93-523
• B. PL 88-206
• C. PL 94-142
• D. PL 90-575

Answer: (A)

Public Law numbers identify the statute, and the Safe Drinking Water Act was enacted in 1974 as Public Law 93-523. This citation shows the act that created the federal framework for setting and enforcing drinking water standards through the EPA and for requiring states to meet national requirements to protect public health. The other listed numbers correspond to different laws from other years, so they do not reference the SDWA.
