[edit] Whistleblower protection
While whistleblower protection is an important topic, it does not merit an entire external links section on the page (this just looks like a link farm). The page is about drinking water, not whistleblowers. Unless User:Rrenner or someone can add some context as to how or why this section of the law has been used specifically with regards to drinking water. Kristan 14:28, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. It is a relatively minor provision in the SDWA. There is a separate page for whistleblower and links to DOL et al can be found there. Moreau1 02:56, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] General Style and Organization
Additional sections are needed to explain the major health issues that the SDWA addresses and how the programs work. The provisions that are currently discussed are OK, but need an overall contextual framework. (I have added some citations and clarifications, but more are needed.) For example, the "Lead Free" section should (briefly) explain the public health significance of lead in drinking water.
There is way too much unexplained jargon, e.g. community & non-community water systems, transient & non-transient, water system operator (i.e. a drinking water utility). The terms could be described on separate pages, or briefly explained on the SDWA page. Moreau1 02:56, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
