  - EPA periodically issues memorandums which clarify drinking water policies and regulations. These policy memos have been collected into a water supply guidance which has been made available to states and public water systems to assist them in implementation of the Safe Drinking Water Act. The guidance manual was last updated in 1993. This 2000 revision has been updated to add new memos and remove memos which no longer apply. The manual includes 135 policy memos and 52 guidances from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline.
