Talk:Drinking water quality legislation of the United States

Untitled
I wouldn't recommend deleting this section, but we may want to talk to some one at the law portal about finding it a proper home. Water Law is extremely complicated as it is in a constant state of evolution. As such understanding the history and timeline is of value. This stub appears to have a decent start, but we should check to see if the information isn't already duplicted else where.FOK SD OA 16:37, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

In attempting to improve the page, I may be off-topic. Most of the interesting regulation on water supply is done in the Federal and State Codes rather than in the Laws. The laws enable the codes. Since the US has both federal and state government involved in water supply, limiting articles to the federal perspective is just that, limiting.

Should we change the title to "regulation" from "legislation"?

Since most states do follow the federal rules closely, we don't need 50 separate state drinking water rule pages. The list of federal rules should be added to the SDWA page (or a new page on the SDWA implementation), except as they relate specifically to California adoption or departures.

The external links are necessarily broad, because the drinking water sections are only a small section of a large database. As such, the precise sections may not have consistent URLs. Leef (talk) 04:04, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
