the activities, functions and policies related to the implementation of
the Safe Drinking Water Act as amended. The Council consists of fifteen
members, including a Chair. Five members represent the general public;
five members represent appropriate state and local agencies concerned
with water hygiene and public water supply; and five members represent
private organizations or groups demonstrating an active interest in the
field of water hygiene and public water supply. On December 15 of each

of the Council's working groups that are formed to assist the EPA in
major program issue development. Working group meetings are held
approximately four times a year, with two of the meetings conducted by
conference call.
