US Environment Subcommittee Holds Hearing on Safe Drinking Water.
Congressman Gary Palmer (AL-06), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Environment, led a hearing titled From Source to Tap: A Hearing to Examine Challenges and Opportunities for Safe, Reliable, and Affordable Drinking Water.
Chairman Palmer said:
“Congress first enacted the Safe Drinking Water Act more than 50 years ago and amended it several times since. Many Americans receive their drinking water from publicly owned water utilities who have to navigate the law’s complicated regulatory requirements, manage both aging infrastructure and an aging workforce, and provide safe and affordable water to their customers.”
