Water and Health Advisory Council members Chad Seidel and Manny Teodoro delivered the keynote address at the Water Conference of the West (WCW) this past week. They spoke before a dynamic audience of water experts, scholars, and industry leaders, highlighting the successes achieved under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), addressing areas needing improvement, and exploring future directions for safe drinking water governance.
Central to their address was the Madison Declaration—a visionary blueprint designed to guide drinking water policy and governance for the next fifty years. The declaration emphasizes proactive infrastructure investment, prioritization of public health outcomes, assurance of equitable water access, and utilization of advanced science and technology to tackle emerging threats.
We encourage you to read the Madison Declaration and join the growing number of water industry leaders who have endorsed it. This declaration represents the unified commitment of professionals dedicated to protecting and advancing the safety, reliability, and equity of our nation’s drinking water supply.Â
Join us in shaping the future of safe drinking water.
