Celebrating 50 Years of the Safe Drinking Water Act
Reading, PA – Suburban Testing Labs is proud to join the water community in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), the landmark law that has safeguarded public health by protecting drinking water quality since its passage on December 16, 1974.
Suburban Testing Labs provides lab testing for approximately 10 Million US public water supply residents to ensure their water is safe to drink. Our public water supply testing services are currently provided in PA, NJ, MD, and DE; that’s about the total population of countries such as Greece, Sweden, and Portugal. And it’s many more people than live in many European countries such as Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Finland and Norway.*
“At Suburban Testing Labs, we are dedicated to supporting the regulatory requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act, ensuring our community has access to safe and dependable drinking water,” stated Rich Stump, President. “This anniversary provides an opportunity to celebrate the progress we’ve made and reaffirm our commitment to tackling ongoing challenges, such as providing testing services for emerging contaminants like PFAS.”
Over the past 50 years, the SDWA has made significant progress in ensuring access to safe, clean drinking water for millions of Americans. It has established water quality standards, reduced harmful contaminants, and supported water systems of all sizes in delivering safe water to their communities.
As we celebrate this milestone, Suburban Testing Labs invites the community to join in reflecting on the importance of safe drinking water and the role everyone plays in safeguarding this essential resource.
