Which explains how different agencies protect drinking water in Georgia?

Answer
A
Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources treats water, while municipalities oversee the process to make sure it is done properly.
B

C

D

Explanation

Municipalities generally operate drinking-water treatment systems and treat the water supplied to residents. Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources, through its Environmental Protection Division, oversees and regulates those systems to help ensure the water meets safety standards. The EPA sets federal drinking-water requirements but does not usually treat the water itself.
