This presentation discusses the implementation of the Safe Drinking Water Act by South Carolina and Georgia. South Carolina required that all public water supplies would be responsible for the bacteriological monitoring requirements of the act, but the self‐monitoring program showed inconsistencies. The basic task of implementing Georgia's safe drinking water program centered around adjusting and expanding the ongoing program to meet the new statutory requirements. Data management seemed to be the most pressing problem.
