Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, which regulation does it follow?

• A. Title XVI
• B. Title XIV
• C. Title XII
• D. Title XVIII

Answer: (B)

The regulation for the Safe Drinking Water Act sits within Title XIV of the Public Health Service Act. This part of the act establishes the framework for protecting drinking water, giving the EPA authority to set national drinking water standards, oversee water systems, and enforce compliance to keep public water safe. Other titles listed cover different health-related areas and don’t pertain to drinking water, so they aren’t the regulatory basis for the SDWA.
