Association of State Drinking Water Administrators

EU Legislative Interests

While ASDWA cannot lobby, it can provide insight and education surrounding the drinking water quality challenges in the United States. Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are a major contaminant of concern in the US, with a revision to the current regulation underway. ASDWA seeks information on how European nations are addressing DBPs both from a regulatory and technological standpoint. ASDWA hopes that working together globally, we can reduce exposure to DBPs around the world. ASDWA has been working with the H2OforAll EU Taskforce to present the US regulatory outlook for DBPs as well as sharing DBP compliance issues, with the goal of understanding the EU approach to addressing the contaminant.

Communication Activities

ASDWA's EU communication activities have been limited to its participation in the H2OforAll Taskforce. Within the US, ASDWA provides Congressional testimony and comments on US regulations.
