The 1986 amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act will substantially affect the treatment and supply of drinking water in the United States. The effects may range from minor operating changes to abandoning treatment and supply in favor of purchasing finished water from a neighboring community or water company. In all cases, the amendments will increase costs for water utilities and, ultimately, their customers.
