The state of Wyoming does not have primacy (authority) to establish drinking water standards in accordance with the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. The Environmental Protection Agency is responsible for establishing and enforcing drinking water standards in Wyoming. The federal program is administered by the Direct Implementation Program, Region VIII, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency located in Denver Colorado. The contact for this program is Dr. John Gillis who can be reached at (800)227-8917 Extension 6274.
