Question:
New print and radio public service announcements from the US EPA will let people know they will soon receive information about the safety of their local drinking water. EPA said in a news release that the new right-to-know information, called a "Consumer Confidence Report," is required by amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act.

"These new public service ads inform theany ideas?

Answer: "These new public service ads inform the public that they soon will receive important information on the quality of their drinking water," said EPA Administrator Carol M. Browner. "Getting key environmental information like facts about your drinking water into the hands of the public is a critical part of the Clinton Administration's commitment to protect public health and the environment."

Between now and October, most Americans will receive notices from their drinking water suppliers, providing information on the quality of local drinking water supplies, any contaminants and the potential health effects of those contaminants exceeding public health standards, enforcement and compliance information, sources of local drinking water, and where consumers can get additional information. Approximately 55,000 water systems serving 250 million Americans will provide the reports once a year, either in water bills or in a separate mailing. Many systems also will provide this information on the Internet.
