1999 marks the 25th anniversary of the Safe Water Drinking Act, a federal law that sets health and safety standards for public drinking water and the nation’s first comprehensive drinking water law.
Groundwater is the source of drinking water for nearly 150 million Americans, with 6,000 new water wells drilled in this country every week.
It costs over $3.5 billion to operate water systems throughout the United States annually.
Each year, nearly 10,000 cubic miles of water flow along the world’s rivers to the ocean.
Public water suppliers in the U.S. process nearly 34 billion gallons of water per day.
Americans drink more than a billion glasses of tap water a day.
Thanks to SG Supply Company for these water facts.
