Most people take their drinking water for granted.
They open the tap and don't give much thought to what comes out. The EPA believes that Americans should think about the quality of their drinking water and a just-proposed rule will provide water company customers with a lot of detailed information. Interested parties may send written comments to the EPA on or before March 30, 1998. A public hearing is scheduled for March 3, in Washington, DC and March 10 in San Francisco. According to the EPA, out of the approximately 180 thousand water systems in the United States, only approximately 60 thousand will be covered by this proposed rule.
