Navajo Nation Safe Drinking Water Act
The Navajo Nation Safe Drinking Water Act, (NNSDWA), was initially adopted by the Navajo Nation Council
in 1995. The NNSDWA has been revised to include the Underground Injection Control’s provisions for
protecting underground sources of drinking water from activities conducted by the oil and gas industries. In
2001, the NNSDWA was revised again to incorporate the revised public water system definition, provisions
for the operator certification requirements, the consumer confidence report requirements, amendments to
the variances and exemptions of the NNSDWA and amendments to the judicial section.
